Many schools would be forced to cut a lot of these sports that fail to generate revenue so they could pay their football and male basketball players. In fact many football programs across the country would be dropped all together seeing as how only 57% generate revenue. Tuition is already high enough, why should everyone else pay for these kids to drive around in cars and paint their bodies with tatoos when they're already getting paid to get an education?

I am not saying pay them millions of dollars, I am saying let them make their own money. If someone wants to give them a few 100 dollars for their autograph then so be it.
