***To those who believe college football players should be paid: Should athletes of LOWER revenue sports(like?

No, they should not be paid. I mean all players including football players. Why? It means if the football players get paid, then all student athletes need to be payed. There is not enough money to do this, and there are many schools at the FBS level that are in the negative amounts of money for sports. If this leads that players do get paid? There are football could be dropped for some schools in the PAC 10, SEC, Big 12, Big 10, ACC and Big East plus some in the lower FBS level schools. Look at California did last year? They dropped baseball to control their money issues, and paying football players can kill even more sports which could mean football. I say no because not all teams can afford to pay anybody right now.
