Why not? The low level players would just get enough to cover their school expenses. The high level players like Manziel, Bridgewater etc, would get considerably more.
And they should get more.
When you are directly fueling a multibillion dollar industry, you deserve more than a $30k scholarship. When a player like Manziel is directly responsible for tens of millions of dollars going to the school, no, a scholarship isn't enough.

If I'm not mistaken, currently scholarships are guaranteed for a year. If the school decided to fire you in the middle of the season, that would mean no more paychecks immediately.
So the Manziel's of the world deserve more huh? What about the offensive linemen that block for him and allow him to make those plays? The receivers that get open and catch the balls he throws? The running back who picks up a blitzing linebacker that keeps Manziel injury free and allows him to make plays?
The schools are just as much directly responsible for the players success and ultimately their popularity as the athletes are for the school making money.
