I've heard some interesting takes on this. What if the federal government made it a crime (like fraud) for the students to take the money/gift? I mean, they are pretending to be amateur athletes as part of a very large organization, one that can be penalized for their fraudulent actions.

Or better yet, what if they pull an Eliot Ness and go after these players for tax evasion? It might dissuade future recruits from sticking their hand out.
