Do you think that college athletes should be paid a stipend?
In the two main college sports, football and basketball, millions of dollars are made to benefit both the school and the conference both in ticket sales and TV deals. Would some of the off the field issues which arise be partially taken care of by a small stipend to players?
An example might be from the recent arrest of two Iowa players for credit card fraud. Since they are unable to work due to football expectations, they chose to get money illegally and now their carrer and reputations are ruined. It's possible that they might not have turned to this had they been given a stipend.
Answer
No, they are already getting a free education. That is equivalent of 30,000 dollars a year in most cases. If they want to work, there is no reason why they cannot have a job over the summer or work part time in the offseason or at least be in a work-study program. There is no need for them to get even more special treatment.
