The NCAA makes a ton of money off of basketball and football.  [B]All[/B] of the other major college sports in [B]all[/B] of the P5 conferences are dependent on those monies to survive.  Everyone benefits monetarily except the players.  They get peanuts [B]at best[/B].  The lessons of prohibition are seemingly never learned.  You want to stop all of this?  Pay the players.

So the players get preferential treatment in college.  Better locker rooms, housing, help with classes etc.  So what?  These players know (or may not know) that just by participating in these sports and because of their physical makeup, their lifespans are foreshortened.  The window of their prosperity is narrow, and most will live their retirement years in pain and discomfort.  Many will have CTS or suffer from the effects from the long term use of PED's.  Yes, the dirty little secret of MBB is the use of PED's.  So, pay the players.  We immediately stop this underground economy that exists [B]unilaterally across big time college sports[/B], we remove the stigma of these payments, and we all stop pretending that these players are amateurs and aren't commodities.
