Drake added the current scholarship system has been "overwhelmingly successful in helping people to get an education." On the same panel, Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne said paying college athletes "would get in the way of them being students first and foremost, and athletes second" (COLUMBUS DISPATCH, 4/26).
