They are certainly not being paid a market wage... so, no, I do not consider them being paid.

"market wage"!

Considering universities earn millions from their basketball and football programs, the players should be earning hundreds of thousands.

A few thousand here or there may seem like a lot to a college kid, but certainly not in line with the revenue they generate for the schools.
