I say why not! College athletes may get scholarship money but what good is that when their car breaks down? I don't think that they should be paid substantial amounts of money but it wouldn't hurt to pay them something. And i'm not positive but isn't there some sort of rule that prevents athletes from holding a job or something like that? I think that if they were paid there would have to be a standard that they must meet first such as a 3.0 GPA and 90% class attendance or something to that matter. Then you are still emphasizing the reason why you go to college! I know many athletes who are college level athletes that don't play because they have to work to afford school and their living expenses. There just isn't time for school, work, and sports!
