Anon... They receive $500 USD a month to live on, no? I don't think that is enough. $1500 USD wouldn't be amiss, would it?
They can get jobs like the rest of us.

They are working 40+ hours a week and generating lots of money... that is pretty much the definition of a job.

No, actually they cannot. I'm pretty sure that they're not allowed.

Why not $5k? Or, $25k?
There is no fair way to pay all the student athletes a salary that makes everyone happy. USC can't pay Matt Barkley what he's actually worth to the school. Are we going to pay a cricket player as much as we pay Andrew Luck?
You won't be able to "discriminate". Reggie Bush was NOT a student athlete. He was an athlete. Do we only pay athletes who keep a 3.5 GPA or higher? I mean, isn't that the argument? We want them to have more time to study. Do we tie salaries to academic success? If so, will that stop the dishonest athletes from taking money from boosters?

90% of the time they are not generating lots of money. They also do their athletics a few months out of the school year. When I was going to college those times that I needed money, I got a job.

If you are referring to jobs yes they can, its just overly restrictive on what kind of jobs and how many hours etc. That I agree needs to change. They shouldnt be paid anything though for playing a game aside from the free education room and board they already get.

You think that athletes don't need to train and/or practice when their sport isn't going on?

So, by your stance, Cutt. Olympic Athletes shouldn't be given money so they can train their sport. They can just get a job, really.

They already get liquor and co-eds, what more could a college-age guy want?
