    The reason I think student athletes should be getting paid is because ‚ enterprises gone mad with TV contracts and multi-million-dollar coaches who earn vastly more than the world’s best professors .

    Heat have Lebron James‚ and the Milwaukee Bucks have Brandon Jennings. There have been these athletes and many more who fit into that category.

    Should the NCAA pay college athletes for all the hard work and dedication? There are a lot of suspicions about players already getting payed. Some colleges have already paid the families of the student athletes. Most of these student athletes have worked so hard their whole life to be able to get to a stage in their lives where they can finally help provide for their families and make something of themselves by succeeding in life.

    opinion‚ athletes are way overpaid. They are only playing a game against another team and they get paid thousands of dollars just to do so when people who save other people’s lives don’t get paid enough. On the other hand‚ we sometimes take the time out of our day to watch people play football‚ basketball‚ baseball‚ etc. We stand in front of our TV to watch and cheer them on. They play for us. There are a couple reasons why I think athletes are overpaid. Those reasons are that athletes make up to

    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.

Although
