I think the time that the money made from it be distributed to the athletes who make it possible is long over due.
Absolutely Agree.
It needs to come in the form of several things:
1. An absolute guarantee of a complete education, including tuition, books, room and board - regardless if they become hurt or injured and can no long play.
2. Medical care for the rest of their life for injuries received on the playing field, during training, practice or in actual participation of their sport, regardless whether they can continue to play the sport or not as a result of the injury.
3. Some type of monthly stipend while they are actively involved with a team representing a school.

Should be voided if they leave early, cheat, flunk out, or get caught breakin the law.

Makes sense.

Do walk ons and scrubs and women's polo players get as much as the starting point gaurd?
Also when bitching about the money in college sports lets not confuse top line revenue with profit.
For example I think LSU's expenditures for football alone was something north of $45M, and Hawaii's football program is in such shitty shape that they are thinking of shutting it down.
