Where will college football and athletics be in 20 years

So what? If their goal is to go pro, then playing college ball is still the best way to accomplish that goal.

Scholarship football players are getting a free education, plus CU swag, charter flights around the country, access to training facilities and tutors, etc. All that costs money and they receive it in most cases regardless if they are actually contributing to the money a school generates. How much money has someone like Stevie Joe Dorman generated for the school? Is CU getting their money's worth out of that scholarship?

So if you're going to argue that some of these players aren't being compensated for what they help contribute then you've got to stop compensating the dead weight with scholarships etc, don't you?

I dont really feel like talking about this further other than to state the fact that neither you nor I can prove whether or not a player like Stevie Joe Dorman has or has not earned his worth. Many of the forms of compensation you listed as actually mandatory per team rules so it is fairly hard for me to believe that they are truly perks.

Mandatory or not, they are benefits the rest of the student population doesn't get.

Stevie Joe Dorman was just an example - the point is if you want to compensate players based on what they generate for the school, some will get a lot, some will get nothing - will some get agents to negotiate what they are "worth" to a school? For every Johnny Football, or Jadeveon Clowney that is selling jerseys like crazy and generating tons of cash for their school, there will be dozens of Dorman-type players who deserve what??
