The amount of time practicing is equivalent to a full time job, in which they have little opportunity to get a decent amount of $ by working enough hours as a local job. Obviously basketball and football players get the most exposure and I think it would be unfair if they are the only ones paid. I think anyone who plays sports on scholarships should be given financial incentive...much like people who earn stipends by studying.
Should college athletes, of all sports, be paid?
