I have current connections regarding the relevant part of my major point, paying athletes beyond their scholarships and appropriate and legal other compensation is not sustainable for most college athletic programs. Add in that for many sports the athlete's time is part time, not full time, and you have a system that currently works for most schools and their athletes.

And are you JT? Or JT's answer guy? Lighten up Francis.

Take a look at Colgate's list of sports. Let me know which are full time, or, if it's easier, part time. Full time is described as 12 months a year, 40 hours a week commitment with time off only for holidays as necessary...I recognize there can be some holiday tournaments, etc.
