This is debunked [URL='http://sportsgeekonomics.tumblr.com/post/13848508656/myth-6-we-cant-pay-them-or-else-wed-violate-title-ix']here[/URL]. In fact most of the arguments are debunked on that website.

In regards to concerns of teams not being able to compete with payments allowed, I propose these quotes:

I also have to add that the "scholarship is worth $1 million" is nonsense. If you want to play that game, at least start by getting the lifetime income of those with high school degrees and then subtract it from your "$1 million over 40 years". Then factor in the very realistic chance the students never receive a job in the major they choose.

I'm sorry a scholarship is great but your putting it on a pedestal to push your point. These students are worth a lot more than a scholarship to these schools. I don't buy the argument that these schools are some sort of philanthropists giving back to the kids. I think they are just paying the students with the only income they are allowed to use.
