In a sense, college athletes are already paid in that many receive some sort of scholarship. Many fans have suggested that those athletes who participate in high-profile sports like football should receive cash compensation, but federal law relative to gender equity would require that the last player on the men's or women's tennis team (for example) would have to make the same amount as the star quarterback. At most Division I universities, only football and men's Basketball turn a profit so compensation for an entire department of athletes would not be feasible for most schools.
