How is that a change from now? They can get their scholarships taken away just as easily.

The players that aren't "irreplaceable" as you call them (which is a ****ing joke by the way) would really be ****ed because their worth wouldn't demand a big enough salary to cover their expenses.

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.

These athletes are well taken care of and get exactly what they've earned. They get a chance at a free education and an avenue to showcase their talent with a chance to turn that into a future career.

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.
