Personally, I don't care whether they get paid or not.


But I don't think it will ever happen.


Here are the 2 main reasons.


1st and most important reason. Smaller schools could not afford it. Sure, your Alabama's and UGA's and UT's wouldn't have a problem. They make enough money that at least small amount could be paid. But then you have your schools like UAB and So. Miss who are in the red, they couldn't do it. So there's a recruiting advantage for the big time schools. Heck, the NCAA made the big time programs shrink their media guides because the smaller schools couldn't afford put out but a small one. So they sure would never allow something like paying players.


2nd almost as important. This would also open up the door to big time payments from boosters. If kids are getting money legally, then it would be much easier to hide getting money from boosters.
