Did you know colleges are government entities? Everything about them is ultimately up to the decisions of politicians.
The people paying for these players are CEOs and Executives. These are the same people that pay lobbyists/politicians to push their agenda into legislation.
I hate politics too, but politics is very much intertwined into college sports as much as anything else.

To think the GOP used to be the party of small government.
To actually think the government can fix anything.
WTF happened. The Feds need to butt the F out of almost everything rather than meddling in collegiate athletics.

There's an understatement.
"The NCAA dates its formation to two White House conferences convened by President Theodore Roosevelt in the early 20th century in response to repeated injuries and deaths in college football which had "prompted many college and universities to discontinue the sport."[1] Following those White House meetings and the reforms which had resulted, Chancellor Henry MacCracken of New York University organized a meeting of 13 colleges and universities to initiate changes in football playing rules; at a follow-on meeting on December 28, 1905, in New York, 62 higher-education institutions became charter members of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS).[1] The IAAUS was officially established on March 31, 1906, and took its present name, the NCAA, in 1910.[1]" - wiki

The university Presidents can come together and stop it. Require players to actually go to class in order to play. Require a financial contract for all money paid. If you skip out you are liable to payoff the contract kind of like a coach leaving early. BUT, they won’t. Money has ruined the game

Always has been. Now we just have a lot of other interests involved too.
