And, end athletic scholarships too.

I mean if you are getting something (Alabama university webpage lists the cost at $48,634.00 per year as a regular student, just as an example) worth that much money, and now you are going to get paid too.  There are a lot of people working real jobs for less than $48,634.00 per year. So, yeah pay them... and they pay their own way through school too. Will all the varsity athletes get paid? Or just the football and basketball players?
