Is it fair that colleges profit off of student-athletes without compensating them?

Absolutely, college athletes should get paid. These students bring in so much money for their schools and get nothing in return. It's like working a full-time job with no paycheck - doesn't make sense to me. My friend's kid plays college ball, and the amount of time and effort he puts in is insane. They deserve more than just a pat on the back.

Totally agree that college athletes should get paid. I mean, these guys are bringing in huge bucks for the colleges, and what do they get in return? Some scholarship that doesn't even cover all their expenses? It's just not right. They work their butts off, so they deserve some cash in their pockets, plain and simple.

I get that college athletes work hard and bring in money for schools, but come on, they're already getting scholarships! Not everyone gets a free ride to higher education. Plus, if we pay them, what about other sports or activities that don't bring in cash? There's more to college than just sports.
