Well, since the schools make billions of the child labor they exploit, arguably, but wouldn't it be more honest to pay them for their wealth generating labor? (I know, not in serf nation USA...) Then things like scholastic achievement could be means to a college education (and certainly many football players do make the grades to earn academic scholarships).
D1 makes millions off of the athletes. D2 kids get scholarships and partial scholarships and most schools don't even break even.
