While a few top schools actually make money from their sports programs (like the University of Texas and Ohio State) most schools are incurring a net loss from their sports programs. Allowing a few players from a few teams to make varying amounts of money on the side is not going to alter that bigger picture. IMHO, if a few NCAA players are going to be paid then it should be shared with at least their whole team, if not with all NCAA athletes at that school.
