I’m sympathetic to the argument that athletes should be paid, especially in light of the money they bring in. It would honestly just cause me to move on from college athletics. The best way to explain is the bit of guilt I get from seeing athletes, entire athletic departments, school administrators brush things under the rug. I feel a little guilty for causing that to be the case, by watching and thus making the product valuable enough that morals become flexible. I’m not naive enough to think that this doesn’t happen all over society, but in academia where we pretend there is something valuable to educating people and contributing research in the arts and sciences, having this be out there makes athletics an even more explicit distraction from that core mission than it already is. Right now there’s a thin veneer... again I agree players generate the value and it makes sense they should capture more. But rather than have the money of college athletics shoved more in my face I might just say to hell with it.
