I like this a lot. There&#x27;s certainly no social stigma against paying for athletics (e.g., multi-million dollar coaching salaries, stadiums in the hundreds of millions). There&#x27;s no stigma about students working for the college during undergrad (e.g., TAs, lab assistants). And there&#x27;s no stigma against non-student college-aged adults working for a college. So...<p>Let&#x27;s call a spade a spade. Let&#x27;s be <i>fair</i> to the real scholar–athletes that the NCAA trots out in their TV spots. Let&#x27;s stop comparing apples-to-oranges student statistics and trying to put a price on <i>opportunity</i>.
