CLEMSON — It has been 10 days since colleges officially started paying college athletes for their services.

As a part of the House settlement, NCAA Division I athletic departments are to share $20.5 million with their athletes. However, each school can allocate that money however they choose best.

Since football generates most of the dollars, schools like Clemson will allocate a large portion of its revenue to the football program. It seems like a fair situation for everyone, right?

Not so fast.
