If kids want to get paid, schools need to get rid of scholarships and force them to spend money being a student-athlete, therefore investing both time and money where they are playing. Schools should should then also be able to cut players whenever they feel like it, like is done in pro leagues. Players get signed for different lengths of time. Players get paid value based on their abilities, which means some get more and some get less. Players can also make more money with side-deals they create/find. Right now college football is a bastardized semi-pro league. They need to either stay “amateurs” (but that ship has sailed) or it needs to be run like most other pro leagues where they get paid to play but most other benefits go away.
