I'm fine with a huge wage gap, but most people aren't. There's an odd defect in most people's thinking where if you make some small contribution toward solving a problem, they'll berate you for not doing more.[1] I'm simply pointing out that because of this, the author's solution is politically infeasible. Paying college athletes is probably as difficult as starting minor league football. There are a significant number of regulations in place to prevent college athletes from being compensated, to ensure gender parity, and to stop colleges from spending "too much" on sports. Their efficacy varies, but repealing them would be an immense political effort. For starters, you'd have to get rid of Title IX. There's no hill-climbing solution here. We're in a local maximum. :( 1. http://blog.jaibot.com/the-copenhagen-interpretation-of-ethics/ http://blog.jaibot.com/the-copenhagen-interpretation-of-ethi...
