The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
If having college directly pay players is too far of a bridge for you to cross, I hope that at least allowing them to do third party sponsorships is reasonable enough for you.
I've always taken a middle ground on this. The idea of flat out paying them I haven't gotten behind, but I'm all for them making money off things like jersey sales, likeness in video games (bring back EA NCAA Football please), autographs, commercials, etc...

I think where I come down on the direct player/college financial relationship is to let the players form a union to offset the practical cartel that is the NCAA. If they can then collectively bargain direct payments in, more power to them.

I say pay ‘em but the dollars have to be equal or else if you think you’re sick of seeing the same teams win all the time now, boy howdy get used to it forever.
Just get rid of "amateurism" and or stop treating specifically college football as a professional money making endeavor until it comes to the players. I'm sorry "Student - Athletes"
