10. Very few make money

Only around a dozen of the hundreds of NCAA Universities make a profit on sports. Most of the money earned through TV, merch and ticket sales goes to fund sports that operate at a loss. If you start paying athletes you are going to end up with football and men's basketball at the major universities and a just enough womens teams to meet Title 9 requirements. All mid-major and small schools would likely end athletics altogether.
