There has been major discussion recently if college athletes should or shouldn’t be paid while they are in school. The first thing opponents say is‚ "They’re already getting a scholarship! That’s more than anybody else! Don’t be greedy!" Fine‚ let’s not be greedy and look at how much a scholarship is actually worth. On average‚ a full Division 1 scholarship is $25‚000 per year.

Paycheck. Money. Big houses. Expensive cars. Professional athletes get paid a lot of money for their work‚ so much that they can buy the most expensive cars‚ houses‚ and other items too.

Affects of Early Recruiting on Youth Athletes Molly Sanders was beyond upset. She was confused‚ disappointed‚ and above all else‚ felt more worthless than she had once believed possible. She felt a vibration in her pocket‚ but angrily tossed her phone across the table. She knew it was just her mom or dad‚ and frankly‚ she didn’t want to see her friends‚ her family‚ or even her once safe haven: the lacrosse field. The Starbucks employees all awkwardly looked up from their work as Molly burst out into

People often don’t understand what student athletes go through on a daily basis. Some will even stereotype believing they do not excel in academics and will focus more on sports. I interviewed Jesus Flores‚ an eighteen year old student athlete who was recently awarded the scholar of the week and is a part of a playoff bound football team‚ the C.C Winn Mavericks. Jesus‚ who is one of my teammates in this football team‚ states that in order to balance academics and sports it takes: discipline‚ excellent
