Disadvantaged student athletes at most big-time athletic programs receive both Pell Grants and "cost of attendance" stipends as part of their scholarships.

A respected journalist of the New York Times quotes this for paying athletes, "It would also have other benefits. Universities could hit up boosters to put money into a fund — tax-deductible under current law — to pay the players’ salaries.
