I am in the minority they should get paid. I know they get a scholarship and a lot of other big perks but the literally dedicated 80% of their time to the university during season.

I can see the argument the people have that say they shouldn't get paid though. It would have to be done right from school to school/cost of living/amount of work and time dedicated to the sport.

Probably "deserve" to get paid is one thing.

Probably "deserve" to get paid in spite of the very likely threat of destroying the thing that PAYS them is a WHOLE other thing.

/edit

Ok, "destroy" is a strong phrase. But "utterly change" is fair.

If you pay players the colleges lose amateur status and have to pay taxes on their education,food, housing, etc.
