It's not money, is it?  I assume you're going to into your supervisor's office tomorrow and saying that you're happy with being paid in the widgets that your company produces? Additionally, that tuition rate is about as accurate as hollywood accounting.  Most colleges discount tuition [B]heavily[/B] to get students in the door.  Just because they're saying it's worth $60k, doesn't mean that it is.

These guys are only in college because they're not given much of a choice.  An 18 year old can either go overseas and be bullied by a team of foreign nationals where he doesn't speak the language or he can go to college and **k off for a year and let some administrators and coaches get rich off of him.  It's a scam.

It won't happen because there's an exceptionally high hurdle to entry.

The best solution is to not stand in the way and protect a business that doesn't pay for it's primary resource, the players, and just let the market do its job.  If these kids are worth so much money that a huge operation has to stand in the way to prevent them from getting paid (from boosters, coaches, AAU coaches, etc.), then it's probably best to just change the system.
