I say NO for a couple of reasons;
1) What about the athletes in other Sports programs within the University? If the football and/or basketball players get paid, one cannot discriminate against the other athletes;
2) College players are already paid because they get scholarships. Seems to me the college players are doing well - look at last years NFL draft - bling all over the place - diamond earrings, custom gold and diamond watches, custom suits etc. Where did all this money come from? WAITING TABLES IN THEIR OFF TIME? Not too bad for a person coming out of college.
Besides, the major Universities need the money generated from their sports programs to help pay for the inflated salaries of college professors.
Just some thoughts,
Jim
