yes they should, as long as its and equal share across the board. the players should get to split evenly a percentage of what their sport brings in for their respective university.

I don't think it would hurt a thing. The only problem then is that you will probably end up having to take a percentage of what the entire athletic program takes in and split it between all players in all sports. You know that some soccer player is going to be pissed about the football players making so much more money so it will be a big issue. Basically, especially in our case, Football and basketball will be fitting the bill for every student athlete in the university.
