Exactly Bch.  You either get a scholarship for a free education, or you get it for the hope of playing in the NFL.  If you're smart you will use that free education, room, and board to set you up for life.  They are using each other.

 

If someone is willing to come up with a better model and initiate it, go for it.  To tell the NCAA what they need to do based only on a handful of athletic programs actually turning a profit, is a bit unfair.

 

I guarantee with the whole Title IX that if you pay the men you are going to have to pay the women.  There's no way around it.  Unless you want your favorite college teams to increase price for tickets and merchandise, there will be no change.
