So this morning, I was listening to Tim Brando while driving back to Blacksburg. One of the topics was the "full cost of attendance" proposal currently being batted around, which would increase the stipend that student-athletes receive. Given the amount of debate on the issue, I believe I've found a solution that will make everyone happy: student-athletes should receive scholarships that cover the full cost of attendance, meaning that increasing the stipend ought to happen (making the players happy), BUT these student-athletes will be required to get a degree (making the academically-minded people happy), and if they fail to do so, which tends to occur when players leave early for the pros, then they will be required to pay back the full value of their scholarship (helping to alleviate concerns about the increased expenses involved in providing larger stipends). I feel far too smart for coming up with this, so someone, please, tell me why I'm wrong.
