Who decides who gets paid and how much? Will the women's track and field team be paid? They aren't making the university any money, but they put in time and effort just like the men's basketball team does. (Interesting how Title 9 will affect this. I don't know they details of the law so I can't say) What about the fourth string safety, will he be as much as the starting quarterback, if at all? He isn't the one that's bringing in profits. Why she he be paid? And if we are only going to pay star athletes in major sports, could the colleges argue that letting them showcase their talents for free is payment in itself? It's like one of the purposes of colleges. You put in time and effort to impress future employers.
I am not claiming to have a solution to this problem. I am asking you to understand why many see it as a problem.
