Who will pay the players in CFB?

I think you mean in college. Because theres no fricking way schools are going to get away with only paying the football playing athletes.

Because then it will get into the fairness of paying Marcus because he plays a major sport but not paying Sarah who plays women's lacrosse. That's when you run into major lawsuits that get tied up in all kinds of high court.

Everybody who advocates paying players, talks about football and only football. When in reality if you institute an approved pay for play system, its going to have to be instituted for EVERY organized athletic team.

Football
Basketball
Baseball
Softball
Soccer (men's and womens)
Tennis
Golf
Lacrosse

If that happens, most schools can't afford it and will end up cutting athletic programs in order to pay the athletes in the most profitable sports. Which means athletes of smaller sports lose out on the opportunity to earn their scholarship.
