A lot of good points, but I think paid student athletes opens up other cans of worms that aren't really discussed here at all. I'd rather see ALL sports uncoupled from education entirely, at all levels. Won't ever happen in the US, but I think it should.

While I don't think college players should be paid like pro athletes, I think all of their scholarships should include housing, meal plans, and some extra money (like what other students would get if they worked part time). They should also get to keep their scholarship if they get injured (up to 4 year bachelors), as long as they maintain some GPA.

And the coaches shouldn't make more money than provosts & chancellors of the same university. I'll never understand that. If schools have so much extra cash to burn to stay non-profit, LOWER THE PRICE OF TUITION.

Very funny. Can't help but comment on that guy from 60 Minutes or 48 Hours or 20/20 or whatever it is, at the 8:14 mark. I haven't watched any of those shows in 20 years and damn, he looks awful. I always despised the over edited smugness that was a big part of those shows, especially that guy.
