I feel what you're saying and part of me agrees. However, lets look more broadly....
The colleges are making hundreds of millions off the athletes, yet it is the the athletes who will suffer a lifetime if they sustain a critical injury. Then those very same colleges push for legislation to make "paying college athletes illegal".
At the very least, the colleges should be forced to carry a multi-million dollar insurance policy on each player, so if that player sustains a career ending injury they get paid out.
College football and basketball coaches and athletic directors benefit most from athletes not being paid. I’m not talking about under the table envelopes with cash.
You never hear about the star freshman who gets hurt and loses his scholarship.
