Our morals are different. I don't think NCAA players should be paid. I also don't think admission standards should be dropped to accommodate kids that can jump high and run fast but aren't suited for a college curriculum.
I know it's about money and that's why things the way they are. There's a simple solution. Remove the amateur athlete tag, pay them a fair wage and stop pretending. Also, don't make them attend class, let the NFLPA get involved and negotiate for the benefit of these minor league players.
Drop the ruse. It's not fooling anyone any longer.
Paying them and stop pretending they are amateurs seems more likely to happen down the road.
That will avoid having to pay the girls rowing team. They can still retain their amateur status and therefore be ineligible for payment.

My morals and your morals have nothing to do with why the NCAA does not allow to pay players.
We are on the same page. But I also really like LSU sports, so I wouldn't mind the kids at least just being able to make their living off of their own name. There is no reason why Jonny Manziel should not have been able to sign a few footballs for some cash. It's the purest form of capitalism.
