CMV: Either college athletes should be paid or sports should be decoupled from post-secondary education.

Considering the revenue that many athletes bring to school, the fact that they literally have a full time job being an athlete on and off season, the nebulous and ridiculous NCAA and its definition for "amateur", and the fact that the highest paid "public servants" in the US are football coaches, I have a hard time seeing the other side.

This would encourage eligible athletes to stay in college and get their degree instead of announcing for the draft for pay. I think in terms of incentives and cash a lot, so maybe I'm being too simplistic.

College athletes are "paid" with full scholarships.

Furthermore, they are compensated with world-class coaching, facilities, and plenty of exposure. If these people were good enough to go pro, they could have skipped college and played right out of high school. College cultivates their talent, allows them to play at a higher level, and gives them an opportunity they never would have had otherwise.
