I think our athletes get paid in things other than $$$$.
I lived with a bunch of them in my co-ed dorm freshman year. They all have note-takers assigned to them through the Office of Disablilities so that they can miss class and and still pass the tests. Even when they do get crappy grades they're usually given A's and B's. At our school its more the basketball players than football, but even football guys enjoy the perks of whatever Mizzou and the alumni want to give them.
