That's absurd. The vast majority of college programs have no money to pay players. You're looking at the top of the house programs in the BCS and projecting that out onto everyone.
Hell, every school could have enough money to pay players and that's still not a convincing argument to actually pay players.
I'm looking at the Wake Forests of the world. Ability to pay players isn't the same as the willingness to pay players. Like I've posted before, you could fund a one semester stipend at the same rate as a graduate student by trimming coaches' salaries, eliminating an AD position or two, scaling down facilities, and making sure schools know they have the option of giving out fewer scholarships to save costs. Basically schools can use the excess they've accumulated from not paying players to pay players.
How much has Wake spent on the fan experience that could go toward paying players?
