“...Is money such a big problem for these student-athletes? Don't they receive scholarships? How much more money do they need?” Most college athletes received scholarships to play for the college they’re going to. They should not receive money for going to school and choosing to play a sport that they don’t have to do. Sports is always an option, no one has to play and no coach is going to force a student to play a sport and maybe cause a distraction from doing their school work.…
These College players are hard workers. They get their hard effort into the hard things they need to get done. I agree with this article because college players seem like they aren't hard working, or good enough. People that aren't getting the money they should be getting, is cruel. Just because they're not in the NFL or the…
The NCAA has very strict rules on collegiate athletes. Athletes represent their colleges without reimbursement for advertisement. Athletes cannot gamble on anything even with their friends. Athletes cannot sell the items they receive from their school for money. If the athletes break any of their rules they could end up being banned forever. Athletes need to follow the rules the NCAA has set for them or they could lose their scholarship or eligibility to perform their sport and may have to leave their school.…
The notion of paying college athletes has been an ongoing and controversial debate for student-athletes, coaches, schools, media and most certainly the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Many would argue that playing major college sports is more like a job versus an extracurricular activity. As with the majority of many student athletes, some attend college with the aspiration of becoming professional players thereby college is seen as a means to end. Although student-athletes already receive compensation via full and partial scholarships to participate at the college level, passionate conversations will continue to be a topic of debate because of the enormous revenue generated by college sports.…
The first reason that college athletes are very important to a school. People who play sports in college don’t get paid for the work they do. They could get hurt or injured and they don’t get paid so they have to pay out of their own pockets and with their own money. Michigan's starting quarterback is out for the rest of the season because he broke his collarbone. If wilton speights had to pay for his medical bills, it would be a pain for him to pay all the money. College’s should pay student athletes for the services they do for the school. If colleges paid students that play sports it…
Should athletes be able to go pro before finishing college? This topic is widely debated among citizens across the United States. The answer that is commonly regarded as the safe choice is to finish school then go pro. If an athlete were to choose this choice the benefits would clearly outweigh the risks. The big benefits would be that you will have a fall back and you will be able to get a higher pay in the pros. The only risk of waiting is injury in the final extra season played to graduate.…
Many student athletes thrive to become professional players of that sport. Almost all of them graduate from college with low grade averages. So, as a result of that, they attempt to become professional and the do not succeed. Now they can not go back to school and get good grades to then be able to get a well-paying job. Student athletes should have to maintain a certain GPA to participate in sports activities because it motivates them, it gives them a financial benefit and most coaches look for good grades.…
It has been a debate for quite some time as to whether college athletes should be paid for their work on the field. They are some of the hardest working individuals that obtain intense practices and demanding college courses, and many believe that they should be rewarded for their hard work. But the ongoing debate is whether it is right to pay these players as if they were employees. Many major colleges provide the best services for their athletes by providing them with the greatest gyms to workout in, free health insurance for injuries, transportation, food, equipment, and most of the time, a full four-year scholarship. On top of all of these things that are provided, does it seem right to be paying these students as well? Determination and motivation for greatness during college should be enough; therefore, I don’t think that college athletes should be paid.…

There is a lot of controversy over the college athlete and their role in the NCAA’s revenue lately. Students who play at the college level are considered student-athletes. The “student” is put in the front for a reason because in college you should concentrate on your academics and your career you are pursuing. Granted a student could come through college with a career playing the sport of their choice. To be successful at the sport they choose though they have to spend a lot of time at it, more time than studying for final exams even. As a student in college it should be a priority to get keep your grades up. As an athlete in college you are labeled as having amateur status not professional.…
Should College Athletes be paid? There is a huge debate around the nation, whether college athletes should be paid. Since college athletes contribute to millions of dollars in revenue for the NCAA as well as their respective schools, many argue that they deserve to be paid. On the other hand, since many college athletes get free education and other benefits, many say they are being compensated already. All things considered, college athletes should not be paid because after all, most college athletic programs do not generate profits.…
College athletes who play sports are working hard to get to the next level, they are putting their bodies on the line and some people say they should get payed but they are already receiving benefits from their college.…
Have you ever wondered about being a college athlete and getting paid? I have never wondered about this because college athletes should not paid for playing sports. I understand that some people believe that college athletes should get paid because it more money for them to depend on while there in college. College athletes shouldn’t get paid for playing sports because it would be unfair to other students if the college paid athletes to play college sports. Most college athletes receives scholarships. Getting paid to be a college athlete also takes the focus off of their education.…
