Alexander Bello April 20th‚ 2014 Should College Athletes Be Compensated? Doing something we love‚ whether it be a dream job we have always wanted or an extracurricular activity‚ allows us to feel as though we belong. We as humans put in that extra effort to shine in our particular fields in which we find enjoyment. As a result‚ we sometimes look for compensation for the extra effort we pour into it.

Being an athlete comes with a very big price. Many people say collegiate student athletes have it just as hard as a normal college student. I have to disagree though. There are multiple examples that separate athletes from the regular or average student. Time constraints‚ stereotypes‚ class attendance‚ physical and emotional fatigue‚ and also the athletic sport the student is participating in‚ are just few of the many burdens athletes have on the shoulders that the common student does not.

Introduction Did you know that college athletes are shorted million of dollars in monetary value? Of course‚ the obvious argument would be the athletes are receiving an expensive‚ high-quality education and that is sufficient.

Are We Handing Out Paychecks for Hobbies? We often look at college athletes as miniature stars. The question is‚ why should student’s athlete get a paycheck for playing amateur level sports? Athletes complain about how they do not get enough for playing a sport. They are forgetting that they are being rewarded with a half or full scholarship.

Project 1 Have you ever seen an athlete in a commercial? Chances are‚ the answer to that question is YES.

While this produces a winning record for the University this does not produce high performing grades in the classroom.
