College athletes are already very well paid in a wide variety of ways before, during, and after their college playing careers.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think a lot of teams negotiate travel rates directly with the airline (sometimes chartering the whole jet in the case of football, other times negotiating for seats on a scheduled flight). Therefore, mileage accrual for the travelers is a non-issue.</font>
Your points are well taken, but we're talking WOMEN'S SOCCER here. I would say about 20 people, maybe less. I agree with you in the case of football or basketball, but I don't think your points would necessarily apply for women's soccer
