College Athletes: Should They Get Paid?
The existence of college athletics is often justified on the grounds that its success attracts students and is far more than just extracurricular activities. I tend to agree with that. However, a common counterpoint is its cost. Those who believe this statement students argue they shouldn't support athletics since its rising expenses and the pursuit of more revenue to support college sports have become a destabilizing force. Such as the words of Sally Jenkins, "Athletic departments take in more money than ever — and spend it just as fast". That is an understandable concern. Most of the time, college spending on athletics seems is growing far more quickly than spending on academics, and seems mostly dependent students fee. Even though college
knows need to spend their money wisely, it is still hard to make a case that more athletic spending is prudent. This proves the campus athletic department current financial situation is not sustainable and the severity. They seem want to increase dependent from students to finding additional sources of income because they consider the fee a last resort. If without a new funding stream and support from most campus students, various sports and other operations would need to be curtailed or eliminated, which would likely mean intercollegiate athletics would end at UC Santa Cruz.
