Reflecting on the Shame of College Sports: Should NCAA Div 1 Basketball and Football players get paid?"

Being a student athlete I'm gonna always favor to the side of student athletes getting paid. But this subject has been one off the biggest debates of the NCAA for sometime now. Schools advertising players year round to be the face of their individual sports. These schools are making billions of dollars off of players and they say that we get get our scholarship check but those are based off of the cost of living in the city that the school is in. Once you pay rent and utilities most of your check is gone. Some athletes play their own bills outside of just cable and electric so that's more money coming out of pocket and we are left with maybe only like two to three hundred dollars the rest of the month. Student athletes basically sign their names over to the school to be advertised by only them so that only they can benefit from it. Then NCAA comes up with rules saying that you must remain an amateur so that you cant advertise yourself or receive anything from being an athlete but in actuality they are.
On the other side of this whole situation who do we decide to whom gets paid what. All sports advertise their star athletes but every program isn't making as much money as the others. Then on top pf that their only the star players that get advertised. So do the athletic program split the money with all sports even tho basketball and football might bring in the most money to the school. Or do they just pay the athletes that are being advertised. These are some of the problems that comes with paying student athletes, its just so much that comes with everything. If you do pay the athletes as said in the article the student may start t come out of "Student-Athlete" because they would have so much money to where when it comes down to doing papers and taking test that athletes will try to pay other students and even the teachers in order to get the grades they need in order to play.
Looking over this article made me think about this topic in a different way by all the things student-athletes will be able to do. Bu when you look at it at big schools things like this already happens so I don't know if there will be much of a difference in things that much. I still feel like student athletes should be paid because everything we do is our sport there's really no time to get a job when you have to manage your sport and school work.
