It's a slippery slope.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/
Look how many of these athletic departments are running at a loss or breaking even and tell me how they're going to make it work if they have to share any significant portion of their profits from football. Yeah, at first you're going to have small token stipends that won't make a lot of difference. Then you'll have an inevitable escalation in compensation for players until eventually all but about 20 schools are priced out of it. Some will drop down to a lower division, others will hang on but be unable to remain competitive. At least that's how I see it.
Between coaches, facilities and other non-athlete expenses, there's already a spending war in major college athletics. The average FBS head coach makes $1.64 million and the average assistant makes $200,000. Head coach salaries are up 70% since 2006, and assistant salaries have increased 30% since 2009. There's money in the system as it stands, so it seems unreasonable to think colleges would fold a moneymaking industry rather than just divide the money they're already paying laborers more equitably
