Should college football players be paid to play?

The majority of U.S. adults do not believe that college student athletes should be paid to play football, but college football fans are equally split in their opinions. More than half the younger adults (18-29) in the study support paying college football players, a level that declined steadily among different age groups to just 33% among those 65+. Two-thirds of Black respondents and 62% of Hispanic respondents approve paying the players, while white respondents were more divided.
