They just need to put in contract that allows student-athletes to pull a reasonable stipend during the ELIGIBLE years (maintaining academic eligibility) with a payout upon graduation for those obtaining a bachelors degree, yearly for graduates, or 3 years after their last eligible season if they do not graduate (incentive to graduate) and that any student-athlete not actively playing is still eligible for paid tuition for those there years if ever offered a scholarship - requires student to maintain academic standards. Apply it to all NCAA athletes into one pot - thus ANY NCAA athlete get "paid" the same across sport/gender/school. TL get the same "cut" as your walk-on field hockey player. Any student that fails out or fails to maintain academic eligibility for whatever reason forfeits their post-stipend cut.

This negates any media-market bias or big money further damaging the recruitment of athletes top specific programs. Thus your Texas AM players are getting the same cut as your Boise St. The only big thing that would separate the programs would be the quality of the education and the quality of the program.

I don't see this as any different that your standard "tip pool" at your co-op restaurant.

The NCAA could solve this problem easily. But, first of all, they don't really think it's a problem. They have eagerly become the minor league feeder for the NFL and NBA so paying athletes is a logical progression.

If they thought it was a problem here is the simple solution:

States and the federal government could set whatever rules they want. But, the NCAA would make one simple rule change:

When a college signs a kid to a scholarship that scholarship counts against the NCAA limit for either 5 years or until the recipient graduates from that school or 5 years, whichever comes first.

Kid quits school - he still counts. Kid flunks out of school - he still counts. Kid enters transfer portal and transfers - he still counts. Kids goes to NFL or NBA - he still counts.

The purpose of an athletic scholarship should be to help the kid earn a college degree. What part of "student"-athlete is too difficult to understand?

they are going to ruin college football***
