Then get rid of all the non rev sports?

How do you float them if you are paying out all your revenue to football and basketball players?

Paying players is just a terrible idea. It wouldn't stop any of this under the table stuff anyway. Programs that want to cheat will still cheat.

I understand the side of this where players should get paid, I really do. I know just how much they do for their school and this revenue.

With that being said, there is no way of making this happen logically. Its better and easier to allow schools to do things that dont involve hand to hand cash. Better meal plans, campus transportation(bus pass, uber allowance) things like that.

Most college athletes who understand how the world works dont complain about getting paid, they complain about not being able to eat all the time.

Then another option could be to allow players to get some endorsements. Let MPJ sign with Nike, Adidas or Under Armour. Then the school isn’t paying him.

You're absolutely right. If you pay football and basketball players, you will have to pay the women athletes too even though they don't generate revenue. I would imagine there would be a lawsuit pretty darn quick if you didn't
