Yup, that is exactly what they are looking into; paying all scholarship athletes. It sounds like the other 4 BCS conferences (SEC, ACC, Pac 12, Big XII but not the Big East) are considering it as well...
Only C-USA has taken a stance and they are obviously against it...
As for the $2500-$5000 figure, not sure where I read that so don't hold me to it. To me that sounds about right, that is a decent amount of money for a college kid who worked a summer job that really has little to no expenses other than clothing and entertainment. Also realize that a lot of non revenue sports are largely partial scholarships and are far more limited in total scholarships allowed (per league of NCAA rules) relative to the amount of players to field a team.
