Of course you could pay the players $500 per month and then charge them tuition and room and board.
Would out of state recruits have to pay out of state tuition cost?
Lot's of questions if you start making them pay tuition, food, and room and board. Especially since they would exceed 500 a month.

Sure they would be treated like another student who has a job. I think this is terrible idea but so is paying them to play. They get a great value in tuition, room, board, books and fame.

Don't scholarship athletes already get some walking around money?

Title IX screws the whole thing up. You will have to pay girl tennis player the same amount as the football player. It would bankrupt most schools.

Debbie Yow, the former Maryland athletic director actually found an ingenius way to circumvent the rule by having female athletes take up cheerleadering as their sport. So for example, they would have a softball player double as a cheerleader and it would count as a softball AND cheerleading scholarhip.
Maryland actually ended up making a ton of money on athletics when they did this. Of course, it was recently ruled that cheerleading was not a sport but I always thought it was a really smart move by her.

I'm sorry but it is the SEC. I really don't care how smart the athletes are and I don't think many fans do. The schools should hold their regular students to the highest standards they can, but a few exceptions are not going to hurt anyone.

If everyone wants to give players more...the athletic departments need to budget for them.
Set aside funds for players so they can do what ever people think they need money to do. That way the players get paid and the university can track their funds with a ledger that keeps track of every penny that players spend it on.
Coaches can decide how the funds should be used so they get to say when, what, and how much each player gets.

That's a recipe for a bidding war.

Not after the NCAA regulates that each school must set aside a percentage and then each person on the roster gets the same.
