With ticket sales to watch them play, jersey sales and bonuses for making tournaments, should these student-athletes receive compensation? Most athletes do not receive a full scholarship either.
Another thing to ponder is other sports. They are categorized by non-revenue sports. They include golf, tennis, cross country,etc. They put in just as much time and effort. The difference is their generation of wealth for the university. If student-athletes do get paid, should it be proportional to the money they attract?
Should colleges put more money back into the foundation of the school itself? By creating a better education system, they could then charge more for tuition and give back to the sports department. There is uncertainty as to where the considerable amount of money college sports should end up.
