I've always been torn on this.
Football practically funds entire schools in some areas so the players who make it happen should get a cut...
However if you start paying them you run into several other issues like, why not let them go pro early? Why don't other sports get paid(for example IU soccer)? Can you still bench players for bad grades? Etc...

They don't have a solution that would be acceptable to Title IX.

If they're any good they should have a scholarship already

for the reasons already posted. If they are worth being paid, they should already be getting paid through a scholarship (free school). If they aren't that good, then it's obvious why they shouldn't. Also, why should a dumb jock get paid when someone who becomes a high dollar defense attorney who contributes regularly to the school fund after graduation does not get paid? They probably do more for the school than the sports player.
Also, they aren't pro, they are in school and paying their way through school by doing sports, just like regular people go through with a job.
I had another good reason when I started this, but I was helping put christmas decorations up and I've forgotten by now.

I asked because I have been hearing about the NCPA and I think they have some valid points. Truly...

And if another coach comes on the scene that does not want that player on the team, he loses his scholarship. Is that copacetic as well?
