I was thinking about this a little more. I would support the NCAA allocating a portion of revenues its revenues from money making sports like football and basketball to a trust fund for the athletes that play those sports.

Then, each athlete gets some kind of payment if they graduate within a set period ( I say six years is fair). That way, the kids whose images are used in the video games and on the tickets get some kind of payment for that, but at the same time, fuck ups and people who are only in college because they're waiting to go pro aren't being paid to waste classroom seats.

You reward the dudes who put in the work, but at the same time you're not paying anyone to play since they have to get their degree anyways and that's really supposed to be the point of them going to college anyways.
