College athletes are manipulated every day. Student athletes are working day in and day out to meet academic standards and to keep their level of play competitive. These athletes need to be rewarded and credited for their achievements. Not only are these athletes not being rewarded but they are also living with no money. Because the athletes are living off of no money they are very vulnerable to taking money from boosters and others that are willing to help them out. The problem with this is

Are Professional Athletes paid too much? Healthcare workers save lives on a daily basis for sixty thousand dollars a year‚ while professional athletes receive millions of dollars merely to entertain. Athletes should be paid well because they must train harder physically than other people‚ they must work even when they are not working‚ and their chosen profession sometimes entails great physical risks. Society believes that once a person is athletic they automatically qualify to become

beyond that of an athletic scholarship. Which leads me to believe college-athletes who generate millions of dollars in revenue for their college-universities should receive a source of payment from the NCAA. Scholarships that’s student athletes receive to play sports in college do not cover the full cost of college universities. In the world of sports ‚ starting from high school a scholarship is an ideal dream of any athlete at any capacity. Scholarships are deemed as a free education and oppurtunity

My topic for this research paper is “Should College athletes get paid for playing a sport?” My implied audience for this topic would be athletes‚ coaches‚ athletic directors‚ and NCAA coordinators. I will inform them why college athletes should get paid for what they do day in and day out. Also‚ I will show how playing a sport is the equivalent to a full time job and since athletes usually do not have enough free time to get a job than they should receive some spending money.

Because of the title “Student-athlete”‚ college athletes have the obligation to be a student first‚ and an athlete second and should not be paid to play. There have been

The biggest reality of today’s sports is that many athletes have or will sustain career ending injuries. But another huge reality of injuries is that not only does the human body become damaged‚ but the mind aswell‚ although attention is not often paid to how not going through mental rehab alongside physical rehab can prevent athletes from

division one student athletes should get paid or not. I believe student athletes should receive some benefits from playing such competitive sports. Playing a division one sport can be very time consuming; therefore players do not have enough time to get a job to make money for them. Also‚ many athletes come from poverty stricken families‚ and if they’re struggling financially they have no one to turn to‚ because of the NCAA rules saying that division one collegiate athletes can’t receive money

I am a woman yet I am not convinced that women deserve equal pay in sports. Don’t get me wrong‚ women are great athletes. But it’s a proven fact that women’s sports don’t bring in as much revenue as their counterparts. People are just less interested in watching the WNBA compared to the NBA. Can you blame them? I‚ for one‚ would much rather pay to watch the Celtics vs. the Knicks over the Storm vs. the Sparks. But what do you guys think? Should women finally be paid the same amount or not? Is this
