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?

I do not buy this, unless you are in med school or some other demanding form of grad school.

Any undergrad should be able to have a part time job and still make good grades. Millions do. I did. My wife did.

Then again, if you are at Kennesaw State, maybe you aren't the brightest star in the sky to begin with, but that's another topic.
