Should college sports players be paid?

I think it depends on the university. If you're raking in the big bucks on the backs of these players, pay them. If you're a pissant state college without funds, your money shouldn't be spent on athletics.

It's not the schools that will be paying them.: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/sport...-paid.html

And it appears that piss ant colleges have football teams to boost enrollment: https://www.insidehighered.com/admission...-important
