Not sure where you went to HS, but my HS did and still does.

Student-athletes are in violation of the members’ amateur status rules if they:
1) ...accept, receive and/or direct to another, reimbursement or award in any form of salary, cash, merchandise of any kind or amount, or share of game or season proceeds for achievement in athletics. A student may not receive such merchandise items as shirts, jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, jerseys, warm-ups, equipment, balls, duffel bags, backpacks, watches, rings, billfolds, coupons, gift certificates, e.g., regardless of their value.
2) ...sign a contract or agreement for services as a participating athlete.
3) ...receive compensation or benefit, directly or indirectly, for the use of name, picture, and/or personal appearance as an athlete. This includes but is not limited to: receiving free and/or reduced rates on equipment, apparel, camps/clinics/instruction and competitive opportunities that are not identical for all other participants. In addition, student-athletes and parents must pay all costs associated with attending camps and/or clinics.
4) ...are identified as an athlete, provides endorsement as an athlete, or appears as an athlete, in the promotion of a commercial/advertisement and/or profit-making event, item, plan or service.
5) ...play in any contest (school or nonschool) under a name other than his/her own name.
Also, do you have a link to all this massive amount of money being made by all these colleges? I'd like to see financial pages of your stated claims or it's all opinion based.

23 of the 228 athletic departments at the NCAA D1 level generated enough money on their own to cover their expenses in 2012. So, 10% of the NCAA D1 schools generated enough money to cover their own expenses.
Please, show me the exploitation! Who is exploiting who with those figures?
This reason is based on logic.

And you continue to ignore what I posted? Fact vs your opinion?
Where is your information coming from that AD departments are making billions and exploiting players?
Sorry this fact doesn't fit your opinion.
When did cars, jewelry, and condos become payments? Those are called perks, bonus's, etc... Actors sign contracts with their agents for movies and they can negotiate royalties, perks and bonuses before the movie. Jack Nicholson took a percentage of the royalties for Batman instead of salary. It's called a signed contract. You are really reaching, now.
You've haven't shown us any proof whatsoever regarding AD departments making billions. And I have shown proof that only 10% of the 228 D1 colleges generated enough money to cover their own expenses.
