It is ridiculous. These guys are getting free educations, lodging, and meals. Paying them in my opinion makes them professional athletes.


Teaching assistants get free education plus a stipend. They work approximately 20 hours per week and get a living stipend to boot. Football players put in at least as much time, and they have no time to get a job to earn spending money.

A stipend would not make them professional athletes any more than they make TAs professional teachers.
