No matter what the NCAA decides to do, you will always have rogue boosters thinking their money is able to buy championships.
That's what becomes unfair. You implement some kind of system in the BCS conferences to give stipends and allow players to make money off their autographs.
Well, Attorney Dick Smith tells five star athletes that he'll purchase 50000 dollars worth of autographs if they sign with his favorite school.

Sure, but there's still only so many in a signing class and there are still only so many fans willing to buy recruits who might or might not pan out.
It definitely can't come from the schools--there would be Title IX issues even for the few that are making money off of football. But if they can take outside money, you don't have to worry about all the different enforcement and control issues. If Gambino's Bakery wants to give a player a no-show job for signing with Tulane, let them. If some hottie female athlete wants to get a modeling deal, more power to her. If some second-string punter can't get anyone to give him money, too bad.

Why go play for Auburn? They have a small media market that isn't even Top 50.
Come play for me at Rutgers. We are in the largest media market in the country. 20 times as many people will see your Subway endorsement on TV than those who would see it in Auburn, Alabama.
