well, I could be receiving full tuition based on my previous academic success in high school. The stipend money doesn't depend on that at all, I earn it based on my potential for contribution and current track record while in college.
I am currently an undergraduate science major, and I work in a research lab. Right now I'm just earning credit for my work, but during the past 2 summers I received a stipend that allowed me to pay rent and eat for four months with some left over at the end.
I think this is directly analogous: my work has the potential to contribute income and prestige to the University, but this "contribution" will never bring anything close to the money and prestige that men's basketball, football, and hockey are bringing. The players should receive a stipend because they are earning it every day by doing daily "research" that is entirely extracurricular. Title IX shouldn't apply because, frankly, most, if not all, of the other sports (men's and women's) are not profitable at all. It should only be a question of whether or not a group of hardworking students, who are earning the university huge sums of money and national attention, should be compensated for their extracurricular work.
Bondo's career was never really on the rails to begin with, he was always that guy with tons of potential who never really broke through. Perhaps, if he had at least been allowed to stick in the minors through AA he could have had time to develop a secondary pitch or two to go along with the slider and fastball. With that, he definitely could have been a more effective starter and even staved off injury by not using the fastball as much.
