I don't believe so, colleges are not likely to ever give their athletes a salary (besides maybe a few under the table bonuses). It's kinda ridiculous to tell an extraordinary athlete he can't make a few bucks on his own in my opinion. Especially if the reasoning is because other kids will want money too.You are right about that, I edited my post. But I believe hiring agents and endorsements is a first step. Being paid a salary is the next step. No every student athlete will get an endorsement contract. It will be "unfair" if they all do not get some kind of base compensation.
