In my opinion, college athletes should not be paid to play. This is because the presence of such players on a collegiate team implies that the team's principal purpose is to promote student participation.
If a university begins to pay student-athletes, it may have an adverse impact on other sports programs. There would be insufficient cash to pay every single student-athlete fairly and to retain every single sport.
Smaller sports that do not earn enough income to keep the program afloat would almost certainly be eliminated.
Colleges should not pay their athletes in order to host entertaining games. Colleges will be wasting time and money, and "Cinderella teams" will be extinct, making sports less enjoyable to watch.
Other programs at the school that doesn't bring in much money will be eliminated if student-athletes are paid. Even the NCAA's larger institutions will be unable to pay every player and keep up economically with other sports programs, causing them to be cut off.
Finally, the team should be thought of as an extension of the institution. The team would be shifting away from the school's culture and closer to the dynamics of professional sports if they were paid.
The opposing side would undoubtedly argue that the number of attention athletes receives, the number of fans they have, and the amount of time and effort they put into their sport warrants them being paid as professionals.
