Should Collegiate Athletes be paid?

On one hand, the students make tons of revenue for the university so they should get a piece of the money.However, that means if they’re paid they would be essentially employees and could be fired at anytime and they might have to pay there way through college.There is another issue too, who gets paid what amount?Should Jabari Parker make the same amount as Sim Bhullar,(based on the universities they go to and their effect on their teams, of course not, but is that fair?). Would this skew collegiate sports so that Universities would literally be bidding on high school athletes? I can only imagine the bidding wars between Texas,USC, and Alabama for that 5 star football player. Some projective students want this to happen because that would free up space for admissions and allow more scholarship to the full time students.

Tell me what you think and your solution to this issue.
