Won't happen. You pay Football players you got to pay everybody. With IX that means women, too. The smaller schools simply could not afford it.
How many scholarship athletes does a small school even have? I could see how the big schools could be pushing a million a year with a small stipend, which is a drop in the bucket.
But a small school such as.... a poor school like Kennesaw State, or Georgia Southern, how many athletic scholarships do they actually have?

That's a bad example, let's make it 1-A.
Give me an example of a small 1-A school that would be destroyed by a mandate to pay all scholarship athletes a small stipend.

Why would you only pay athletic scholarship players? Do the others not have the same requirements, responsibilities?
However, to answer your question...Kennesaw State has 16 sports. That's men and women. I would guess
somewhere around 300-350. If you pay them (As suggested by the OP) $100 a week, that would be about $30,000 a week, I think. Now multiply that by 52 weeks....Keep in mind...as a whole...Football is the only sport that makes money on the college level. Basketball breaks even and the rest lose money and are supported by student fees, tax money and football revenue.
Now, if you are a regular student, and you are struggling with grades and do not work (So you CAN study), why should a guy with a chance to make it in pro ball and on a full scholarship get money while you struggle?
