Vic Lombardi stated that this is why CU will never be great again. That is, that football and the academics folks in Boulder will never get along.

This is a benefit to joining the Pac-12 that in very much under appreciated. It was one thing for the "we should be like a public Ivy" faction of CU to carry the day when CU had the best academics in our athletic conference. It's a lot harder for them to win an argument when the response to them is, "We're just following the policies implemented at Stanford or Cal or UCLA or Washington or USC".

Scholarship athletes already get "fired," and with the transfer rule changes, athletes can change schools. The current rating systems could be used to set up payment tiers, or just have the tiers and schools have to inform athletes during recruiting which tier they are in, and then maybe some kind of bonus for performance system could be set up. Non-revenue sport athletes will either accept that their scholarships already overpay them, or as s2s suggested, watch their sports fold. Just one idea, but the idea of payment is doable.
