I was somewhat glib in my "part time" reference though I still believe in a universe of 20 varsity sports at Notre Dame, many of them require a "part time" commitment compared to the real workaday world.

I stand by the belief a full ride scholarship is adequate compensation for most 18-22 year olds with high performers deserving more. In the bigger picture, the overall concept of "paying" college athletes will lead to more St. Francis's. I truly believe if more schools drop more sports to fund the paying of athletes for high revenue sports, it would be detrimental to and greatly reduce the overall universe of student-athletes...a sad result to appease the big revenue sports.
