Compensation for Student-Atheltes: An Annotated Bibliography
Cronk, Erin. “Unlawful Encroachment: Why the NCAA Must Compensate Student-Athletes for
The Use of Their Names, Images, and Likenesses.” University Of La Verne Law Review 34.2 (2013): 135-165. Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text (H.W. Wilson). Web. 4 Mar. 2014.
Cronk’s article offers his professional perspective on the unjust treatment and regulations by the NCAA and why they must compensate student-athletes for their work and image. Cronk’s article quotes many NCAA guidelines and principles in order to provide the audience with reasons why the NCAA can’t pay student-athletes. The main focus of Cronk’s article …show more content…
is that he argues for the compensation in the form of a trust fund that the student-athlete could access upon the completion of their collegiate career. The information throughout the article is current therefore making it extremely relevant to the issue today. This article is important to my project because Cronk is proposing a logical solution to the issue of compensation for student-athletes therefore helping me better understand the stakes involved. At the same time, I might challenge Cronk’s solution when he mentions a few significant issues with his selected solution that would cause complications with the strict NCAA rules.
Haden, Christopher W.
“Foul! The Exploitation Of The Student-Athlete: Student-Athletes
Deserve Compensation For Their Play In The College Athletic Arena.” Journal Of Law & Education 30.4 (2001):673-681. Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text (H.W. Wilson). Web. 4 Mar. 2014.
In this scholarly article, Haden introduces his views on the exploitation and unfair compensation of student-athletes by the NCAA. Student-athletes receive absolutely no monetary compensation whatsoever; Hayden proposes a solution to this issue. Haden makes an excellent case stating, “each division I university incorporate “laundry money” into the scholarships of all their student-athletes” (680). The article explains that the best way to compensate student-athletes is to incorporate the use of laundry money into the student-athletes scholarship packages. By doing so, there are not any complications with NCAA rules and regulations therefore, making his article extremely beneficial to my topic. Haden’s views and proposed solution is very helpful for my topic because it has not appeared in any other text I have read. For this reason, he has helped me better understand my issue while also supporting the idea that student-athletes should be compensated for all of their time and effort dedicated to the
sports.
