today’s world. Some people believe their kids have way too many trophies while others believe kids should receive an award no matter what their abilities are. Trophies should not be given to everyone; they should be earned by hard work. One reason why kids should not get trophies is because it does not prepare them for the future. For example‚ in the article “Should Everyone Get a Trophy?” by Lauren Tarshis‚ she states‚ ”In life‚ most people are not rewarded for simply doing what’s required.” Adults

College athletes are manipulated every day. Student athletes are working day in and day out to meet academic standards and to keep their level of play competitive. These athletes need to be rewarded and credited for their achievements. Not only are these athletes not being rewarded but they are also living with no money. Because the athletes are living off of no money they are very vulnerable to taking money from boosters and others that are willing to help them out. The problem with this is

division one student athletes should get paid or not. I believe student athletes should receive some benefits from playing such competitive sports. Playing a division one sport can be very time consuming; therefore players do not have enough time to get a job to make money for them. Also‚ many athletes come from poverty stricken families‚ and if they’re struggling financially they have no one to turn to‚ because of the NCAA rules saying that division one collegiate athletes can’t receive money

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. The NCCA sold broadcast rights over to its annual men’s basketball

Why Collegiate Athletes Should be Paid In our world‚ people who bring in money with their talents are usually compensated for their efforts. It makes complete sense right? Well for college athletes‚ they bring in billions of dollars worth of revenue for their school‚ but do not get compensated for their talents whatsoever. Most people argue that only professional athletes should be paid because it is their profession‚ but people do not take in account for all the hard work and effort these student

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

and lawyers also makes for a potentially sticky situation as the athlete becomes older. As a young‚ collegiate athlete focused on sports‚ the student potentially misses out on opportunities to build their resume with employment and skills. They also might not take advantage of other aspects of the university‚ such as internships in their major or classes on interviewing. The reason behind this is potentially two-fold: university athletes do not have the time or focus to devote to skills that will extend

Why you shouldn’t go to Mars. The astronauts were about to be hit by a large storm. They had no choice. All if not most will be hurt or killed. They have a low chance of surviving. Nasa should not continue Mars Exploration. It costs too much‚ we don’t have the technology and we have many problems here at Earth. What is the point? Nasa astronauts shouldn’t go to Mars because it costs too much. According to Space News‚ it’d cost more than $100 billion before the first Mars mission. Instead of using

To Pay or Not to Pay To pay or not to pay‚ that is the question that colleges are facing. College athletes are at college for an education‚ which is being lost fully paid for‚ therefore they should not be paid a salary on top of it. Problems arise when colleges discuss paying athletes. First they don’t have enough money‚ the athletes are first and foremost students‚ and it would lead to unfair circumstances. Even though tuition and various college prices are high‚ colleges are in debt. Colleges are

No because that would be foolish‚ right? Then why do the college athletes do it? The answer is simply because the NCAA‚ or the company in the example‚ won’t pay them‚ and they don’t have anywhere else to go and play (except for LaVar Ball’s league). Therefore‚ college athletes should be paid because of the financial benefits
