Should college players get paid and if so how much?

To me the main issue is with the NCAA restricting a kid from earning coin.  In the past, schools/kids/businesses abused the system and hired a kid to watch the grass grow and paid them to do so...and no, I am not kidding.  Those kids who want to work, should somehow be able to work for a wage in addition to their scholarship awards.

Yup...also had a basketball buddy who had a pretty sweet summer painting gig back in the day.  I know the issues.
