Should College Athletes be Paid?
General Purpose Statement: to convince
Specific Purpose Statement: By the end of my presentation, I hope to convince you on the fact that college athletes should not be paid to play their sport(s).
Attention Getter: When you go from playing sports in college to playing sports in the major league, what changes? Your title goes from student athlete to professional athlete. Notice how while in college, your title is student athlete, not professional. You are a student and an athlete. You are not yet professional. If you aren’t a professional then why should you get paid? Should students get paid based on the number of A’s and B’s that they receive? No. Athletes in college are not yet professional; they are not playing at the highest level possible and therefor should not be paid. Although the world today revolves around money, money, money, do you think that giving teenagers large sums of money would actually be beneficial? Having a job and earning money is what everyone wants to do, to be a professional. Professionals are the ones that are paid to do their job, not amateurs.
Relevance: This topic affects all of us because whether you are an athlete or a student, we are all in college, and paying athletes would have an effect on all of us. It could affect our daily lives, our financial stability, or even simply our ability to afford a college education.
Credibility: I decided to do this topic because I have played sports all my life and even decided to pursue my love for the game by playing in college. Also, this very well affects me because if the NCAA were to ever allow student athletes to get paid I would be getting paid as well.
Central Idea: Paying college athletes is not something that we should do. There are multiple reasons that this should not be done, and it can have a cancerous effect on the rest of college life at an institution.
Preview of main points: First, I will talk about why people
