A new take on paying college football players

For the last few years the topic of paying college football players keeps popping up.  A sane way to reward college football players for their participation.  While many would argue that the cost of an education is more than adequate compensation, it really isn't close when you look at the facts.

I was reminded of this when I was reading an article the other day that there is a push that Major League Soccer pay local club teams money for similar to what happens in the Premier League in England.  If you aren't familiar with the concept, in soccer (or football if you prefer) leagues are loosely aligned and the best teams are the ones with the most money.  Over time it was determined that it wasn't fair for a rich team in the Premier league to take a player from a lower English league without compensasion of some sort and so the idea of a "transfer fee" was introduced.
