Athletes Salaries Have you ever thought that athletes are overpaid? Athletes are showing children that they could easily make millions by playing a few games. A majority of people don’t even watch sports but athletes are still paid all of that money. Some athletes are selfish and still‚ think that all of that money isn’t enough. Athletes are paid too much money and people aren’t doing anything about it. Athletes are showing and teaching kids wrong value. Athletes make millions of dollars a

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.

PaiD Athletes Try to picture this scenario: You are one of the best performers of your skill amongst your age group. You‚ along with those who perform with you‚ generate so much profit that together you pay for all the employees‚ employers‚ and everything else associated with the company you work for.

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.
