If the schools started paying athletes directly, are you supposed to pay every student athlete the same? Most college athletes are not part of a top tier football or basketball team, and their college sport doesn't turn any sort of profit for the school. Especially female sports, is there a single college women's sports program in the nation that turns a profit?
How is this different from the coaches they already pay?

Wouldnt colleges then be able to essentially bribe would be athletes of theirs based on potential income? So the bigger, wealthier colleges will be able to easily funnel in all the best talent?
This already happens. The college football playoff is already Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and one other team year after year.

If I have a choice of lower tuition or having a sports team, I pick lower tuition. If tuition stays the same and they can get the money elsewhere, sure. Go ahead and pay them

How do you justify drawing the line at paying the players whose coaches have multi-million dollar salaries and who train in facilities that cost many multiples of that?

Weren't we just complaining about college costing too much? If they're able to reroute the money from somewhere else great. If not, I'd rather not have college sports at all then have to pay extra
Couldn't this argument be used against paying professors or janitors? Or more to the point, the coaches who in many states are the highest paid public employees? Why are athletes the only workers on campus not getting paid?

Living standard is something directly preportional to societal contribution. Want to live in a big mansion? Contribute more to society and receive brownie points (money) to pay for it.
Does this standard apply to children born into wealth? Is Donald Trump Jr's living standard proportional to his contribution to society, for example?

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/23/nyregion/india-walton-buffalo-mayor-socialist.html
A progressive challenger running her first campaign was poised on Tuesday to beat Buffalos four-term Democratic mayor in a primary upset that would upend the political landscape in New Yorks second-biggest city and signal the strength of the partys left wing.
The challenger, India B. Walton, is a former nurse and community activist who ran with the support of the Democratic Socialists of America and the Working Families Party. She was leading Byron Brown, a longtime member of the Democratic establishment, by 7 percentage points, or about 1,500 votes, as of midnight with all of the in-person ballots counted, according to unofficial results.

Should Ms. Walton, 38, win the primary and then triumph in the general election November a likely result in heavily Democratic Buffalo she would be the first socialist mayor of a major American city since 1960, when Frank P. Zeidler stepped down as Milwaukees mayor. She would also be the first female mayor in Buffalos history.

Ms. Walton celebrated her victory in a jubilant call to her mother that was captured on video, yelling, Mommy, I won. Mommy, Im the mayor of Buffalo. Well, not until January, but, yeah.

Mr. Brown, who once led the states Democratic Party and is a close ally of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, declined to concede despite the margin separating him from Ms. Walton.

Were going to make sure every single vote is counted, he said. (Ms. Waltons campaign estimated that there were about 1,500 absentee ballots outstanding.)

Ms. Walton showed no such hesitation in declaring victory, highlighting what she said were the races national ramifications. She said the stunning outcome would resound here in Buffalo and throughout the nation, showing that a progressive platform that puts people over profit is both viable and necessary.

Tonights result proves that Buffalonians demand community-minded, people-focused government, and were ready to serve them, Ms. Walton said in a statement. For too long, weve seen our city work for politicians, for developers, for the police union, but not for ordinary working families. In our city, everyone will have a seat at the table.

Ms. Walton has said her priorities as mayor would include adopting so-called sanctuary city rules to safeguard undocumented immigrants, introducing more robust protections for tenants and ending the role of police officers in most mental health emergency calls.

She has also criticized Mr. Byrons handling of the coronavirus pandemic and helped lead protests in the city last year over the police killing of George Floyd.

Mr. Brown, 62, did not campaign vigorously, according to his opponents, and he refused to debate Ms. Walton. He has appeared regularly with Mr. Cuomo at the governors news conferences in Western New York to promote the states economic reopening.

Ms. Walton, in turn, relied on an intense grass-roots organizing operation, a formidable fund-raising effort and backing from some of the governors most vocal foes, including the Working Families Party and Cynthia Nixon, who waged an unsuccessful primary campaign against Mr. Cuomo in 2018.
