College sports have been around for many years now. Many college athletes have come and gone‚ playing for their respective school. Before‚ college athletes would participate in college sports for college spirit and to represent their school. In today’s time‚ many NCAA Division 1 college games are being televised and promoted by the colleges themselves. According to U.S News “The NCAA‚ as a whole‚ makes 6 billion dollars annually”.

I think a man with a helmet defending his country should make more money than a man with a helmet defending a football. Football players make more money than soldiers do‚ they get thousands of dollars every game‚ hit‚ touchdown‚ or kick-off of each season. The Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback‚ Matt Ryan‚ gets paid $11‚500

Anida Palavra4A COMM 1020 Is it time for colleges and universities to pay their althletes? I believe that colleges should be allowed to pay athletes. The players risk injury‚ devote their time‚ may forego earnings while playing and will not‚ in most cases‚ be able to play professional ball. Colleges make often over 50 million-100 million dollars in revenues because ticket sales‚ sponsorship rights and the sale of broadcast rights.

Athletes‚ under the age of 21 years‚ should be eligible to be drafted into a professional sports team. Playing in a professional sport is a career and setting a limit based on age to when someone can start his or her career is absurd. “Currently‚ to be eligible for the NBA Draft‚ a player has to be at least 19-years-old or one year removed from high school.” (Jessop.2014) In the one year removed from high school‚ the athlete can choose to attend college and declare if he or she would be eligible

I’m going to start by saying that I am a college athlete and it’s very interesting the number of people fighting and defending the topic if players should be paid.
