I like this a lot. There's certainly no social stigma against paying for athletics (e.g., multi-million dollar coaching salaries, stadiums in the hundreds of millions). There's no stigma about students working for the college during undergrad (e.g., TAs, lab assistants). And there's no stigma against non-student college-aged adults working for a college. So... Let's call a spade a spade. Let's be fair to the real scholar–athletes that the NCAA trots out in their TV spots. Let's stop comparing apples-to-oranges student statistics and trying to put a price on opportunity.
