"Baseball is the belly of society. Straighten out baseball and you'll straighten out the rest of the world."� Bill Lee People have a tendency to pay for things they love to see, but has it gone too far? Bill Lee thinks it has and so do many other baseball fans. There was once a time where a father could go to the ballpark with his family for $10 and see their favorite Yankee play, but now things have changed. For a family of four to go see a Major League Baseball game it will cost them anywhere from $200 to $250 to sit in tight, compact seats, while trying to watch the same man as everyone else is. People ask why professional athletes get paid too much; it's because we allow it. What we pay for, why we pay, and where our money goes are only…
"If you pay to participate in a sport, the overall quality of the team, equipment, and experience will be better," quote from Murphy Georger. What Georger is saying is that when you pay to participate in a sport everything will be better because the money that people pay to join will be used in a fabulous way. And if he or she pays to participate the money everyone pays can be gathered up and used to help the team succeed. Students should pay to play a school sport because the money can be used to buy good equipment, they can also use the money to pay the coach, and the athletes could use the money to benifit the team.…

Certain athletes earn millions while various people all around the world can barely afford the necessities, such as food, water and shelter. This is a problem that desperately needs to be addressed.

In this report, I will be explaining why athletes should be paid less…

Corruption, scandals, suspensions, firings and a systems that is systematically flawed all the while the fact of the matter is that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a organization that is bringing in billions of dollars each year yet the labor force generating the money gets a scholarship that many athletes believe doesn’t pay enough for everything that is needed on campus so this leads the author to have to take a look at if athletes need to be paid. I will outline numerous problems that are going on in college athletics and possible solutions to problems. I will take a look at the scholarship itself to determine if that is sufficient enough for campus life. The bottom line is from the outside looking in is that there is a lot money going into the hands of administrators and coach’s with none going into the people shedding the blood sweat and tears. It would seem that the system in place at times, wants to make the student athlete stand around with their hands out accepting all and any money that they can find from an outside source, which is in violation of NCAA bylaws concerning amateur sports.…

Athletes should be paid less because colleges are going bankrupt, it is affecting fans, and the increasing salary is starting to hurt other players.…

They should be paid because they work hard and put their bodies on the line, they would make college sports more competitive, and they also bring in hundreds of millions of dollars.…
Student Athletes should not be paid to play sports for colleges. If college athletes were paid to play sports it would take away from pros getting paid to play.
