Why Do Athletes Get Paid

There's a big controversy right now about athletes (especially in football) who bring in millions of dollars to university while never getting paid. Some say that the scholarship is payment enough.

And last but not least, not getting part of the money is a major investment in their future, and it is more beneficial for them to not pocket
