College sports is a big-money business, with
football and basketball programs generating millions of dollars in
revenue every year. While coaches and athletic directors in Division I
programs routinely score seven-figure contracts, student-athletes are
currently prohibited from sharing in the profits. Is it time to rewrite
the rules in college sports and allow athletes their fair share of the
profits? Or would providing monetary incentives -- above and beyond
existing scholarships and career supports -- spoil the sport?
