for years about whether a college athlete should be paid or not and if athletes deserve to be paid for what they do at that level‚ after already being paid to go to school there‚ for most of the players. When athletes go to college they still put themselves in the same physical danger as a professional athlete does. The NCAA alone is a multi-billion dollar industry that generated over 845 billion dollars last year in 2011.Facts have shown that college athletes in the NCAA‚ on an annual salary‚ make

a Student-athlete. I am a student-athlete. Although many are called by this name‚ few are actually both. I pride myself on being able to call myself a true student-athlete. It has not been easy and it will only get more difficult‚ but the sense of accomplishment that comes with it is worth the struggle.

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.
