I understand what your saying a Syracuse scholarship is worth more money than Rutgers scholarship or Pittsburgh scholarship, but that is because Syracuse chooses in the free market to charge more money in tution than than a lot of universities. Giving athletes stipends is not dumb when factoring  the time they spend traveling and practicing in their sports far exceeds what academic scholarship students do. I had the ability to have a work study job at the SU COL, work at Hill TV and do all my classwork while athletes don't have that same time and don't receive money for all the revenue they draw for the school.
If the NCAA let athletes control their own IP rights while in college they wouldn't have to pay them and the athletes could make money off themselves and the money earned by the athlete exceeded the cost of tutton then make them pay the school back the cost of a scholarship. Texas A&M shouldn't profit from selling number 2 football jerseys when Johnny Manziel gets none of that money or Kansas Basketball already selling number 22 basketball jerseys which is the number of Andrew Wiggins. Its a joke either give them all two-three thousand dollars stipends a semester or let them control their IP rights and profit from their own images, merchandize that is being sold by the university.
