Some thoughts...

1. If student-athletes were given a salary - wouldn't more kids opt to go to schools in states with no income tax? Would there be an adjustment made for that?

2. If there were no salaries but they could make $$ of their name/likeness/endorsements.. is there a cap on that? What stops Phil Knight from giving the top athletes in the country $1,000,000 for their autograph?

3. Do you pay athletes based on the money they make the Universities? Syracuse gets great numbers for MSOC but doesn't charge a ticket fee and obviously that helps and hurts them. Would they charge for the games if that meant they aren't losing money for the university just so they could pay their players?

4. If you pay the players in whichever form, you need to eliminate the transfer rule too. Also very dangerous game there.

5. If you find a way to pay players - make it a minimum based on their GPA. I know it is insanely tough to balance school and a D1 sport but there needs to be a GPA requirement.
