The NCAA agreement to allow payments to college athletes elevates individuals’ athletic skill over their education, which contributes to the nation’s civic order. Booster sponsorship subsidies, whether from individuals or commercial sports organizations, should be directed at whole teams and athletic programs.  They should be advertised as such, in competition with other sponsored colleges. 

That would formally make them recruitment and training farms for professional sports while strengthening the colleges’ primary social mission.
