and not surprising but with the focus it is time to change how college sports is done. Perhaps, setting it up as a more pay to play, but you have to pay for your education (unless you can get academic scholarships).. With education still being required in the off seasons of the sport they are playing.
And, if a kid can't get in academically (min standard for all) then he can't go to that school and play basketball (or whatever sport we are talking about).

This is an almost impossible task for several reasons. One of which is that once an athlete is paid, he/she is now an employee (that could potentially unionize). How/who determines who gets paid what? Labor laws are different for each state. If you "work" in a different state during your college years, does that the game(s) then have taxation based on the state the game was played in? What happens if you are injured and cannot work (play) again? There are way too many complexities to have this be an option. This is an onion that should not be peeled.
To create a pay structure for college athletes. There doesn't seem to be a problem with pay structure for school employees or NCAA employees across different states.
I now understand why Stone picked MD over them, which was always a puzzle. There is usually speculation that he couldn't meet the Badgers' academic standards. Their holding those standards led to the previous HC leaving in frustration cause he couldn't get his JC transfers accepted.
A number of years ago UW got suspended because their players went to a sporting goods store and got discounts on sneakers. The place was known for giving everyone who asked discounts. What a travesty - especially in light of much more serious violations other places.

Reading would be your friend: Maryland did not pay Stone, and he took the "loan" from Andy Miller's group after he was enrolled.
I mean if you're going to cheat, maybe don't keep excellently maintained balance sheets with real names for anyone to find.
