College Football

I like college football. I feel stupid when T.V . commentators suggest that athletes in college should be paid. Are they athletes or students? Are they not receiving scholarships. Athletes playing for a college receive an opportunity to represent their school, they should be proud, it is an honor and a big opportunity for the student.
O.K lets entertain the premise of students being paid to represent the University. They should sign a contract by which they will play for the school for a number of years. They should remain as property of the university and be subject to trades, penalties and to pay for the tutors, agents ... like professional players do. If a NFL wants to get  a player before its proper time they should pay the school a sum to compensate for the training, and the damage to the school team. I forgot one thing... they came to the school to get a degree or is not so.
