Technically the benefits a college athlete recieves is equivalent to about $80k in taxable income once you throw in the personal training, food / nutritional supplements, tutors, and clothes.
Yeah, it really is laughable hearing their arguments for payment. If you don't want your likeness marketed, don't accept a full ride scholarship. It's simple really.
With that said, I would be in favor for a monthly stipend, comparable to what a part time job would pay.
