Persuasive Essay On College Sports

Many people argue that competitive sports raise numerous amounts of pressure on the youth making them distracted from things such as their education and because it can cause severe injuries, but some people argue that youth should play competitive sports because it teaches major life lessons that can help with many different aspects of their future such as college, getting a job, and many more. Playing competitive sports also improves your physical strength, another physical aspect of playing competitive sports is decreasing your chance of being obese or having disease. If you don't prefer to play competitive sports there are alternative options such as biking or walking to school. In an HT Health article “Sports Seen As Key Weapon in Fighting Teen Obesity” it says that in a study with 1,700 kids, ten percent walked or biked to school 3 ½ days a week,, in the study they found that biking or walking to school lowered the risk of being obese by 33%. I argue that kids should play competitive sports because of the important life skills taught through these sports and the physical benefit of playing sports. In this paper I will explain how communication, time management, and lowering the risk of being obese; supports my claim, “Kids should play competitive sports”

Every Saturday during the fall season, everyone will tune into watch the coveted college football games. Watching The Ohio State Buckeyes or The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, battle on the field to see who is the true victor. But no one every truly ask what the money is behind the programs. The Ohio State Football teams annual cost is $34,026,871 while the whole university annual budget is $5.7 Billon (). Just the football team is .59% of all the budget, even though this seems like a very minimal number it is quite huge mathematically. If the college would choose to make budget cuts the odds of the program being cut are so minimal, they would rather cut the English department even though it is way less beneficial for the college. College football is one of the few varsity level sports that all colleges have, most sports programs a black-holes money wise. Sucking in vigorous amount of funds while returning little to none. In 2014 out of the 130 DI Football teams only 24 teams actually made a profit from the sport (). Football being the number one sport in most colleges. The bigger the school the more money it will be able to produce from the football team but this is very rare. The whole subject about why college sports are even a thing is very controversial. One has to truly look at if the whole athletic programs are truly worth it. College athletic programs are very controversial and should be cut in some schools. College athletic programs cost way too much, are rarely

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is an $11-billion-dollar industry that provides high school athletes the opportunity to continue their athletic careers while still getting an education. The NCAA is divided into three divisions; Division 1,2and 3. Between these 3 divisions the NCAA accounts for 72,788 football players. At the Division 1 level, athletes are awarded full athletic scholarships, also known as “full rides.” These athletes are in the top tier of their sport and some may even go on to play professionally. Division 2 athletes are looked at as 2nd best in comparison to Division 1 but nonetheless still have a lot of competition and offer partial athletic scholarships. The last of part of the NCAA is Division 3, where no athletic scholarships are awarded. One of the most controversial topics about athletic scholarships is why Division 3 schools don’t get any and this is best exemplified through the sport of football. In my opinion, all NCAA football players should receive full athletic scholarships regardless of division.

College football rules many regions of the United States of America, especially in the southern regions. Alumni of the certain colleges and other supporters pack respective stadiums every Saturday and passionately cheer for their teams in an attempt to ensure victory. Undoubtedly, there are few traditions in the United States that compare to College Football. The sport ensures that family members have something to relate to, brings communities much closer, and creates great moments shared around the country. Perhaps most importantly, there is one more thing that college football does quite well. The sport regularly and consistently creates the interest and demand required in order to make a considerable profit. However, the student athletes most responsible for the increased revenue enjoyed by the respective Universities around this country do not receive any of the money, despite the fact that they are the ones most important to the financial inflow. Many people believe that it is unjust to not financially reward the people most responsible for making the team money, and that college football players should be adequately compensated for their performances on the gridiron.

(Audience Appeal) (Visual aid) There are currently over 460,000 NCAA athletes and over 24 million Americans who are actively engaged in college sports. I’m sure a majority of you know a person who was involved in the NCAA system such as family and friends. This topic has been around for decades now affects thousands of people.

I think it would great for college athletes in the NCAA football video game to receive compensation from the game because the colleges shouldn’t be the only ones benefiting from the game. There are athletes that get injured playing college football and their careers are done, so I feel it would nice for athletes to receive something from playing the game of football, especially after college. If college athletes that don’t make it professionally in a sport could receive compensation for their time playing sports, it would create opportunities for them to start businesses and become involved in other careers.

As a loyal fan of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, you have a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to meet with players of your favorite team. Imagine being able to meet with team members during their spring training!

Today is the first official start of my high school career. Our freshman team has been together since seventh grade and have been undeafeated ever since . The class of 2021 to most people is the best athletic class that we'll ever have for Central York School District. Now, everything is different. We are now in high school, and high school football will be a little bit more of challenge. But, I think that if our team stays together we'll be able to accomplish great things in high school football, things like winning districts, states, and maybe even further down the road than that it's possible.

Throughout the years, kids have played a variety of video games. These games could range anywhere from warfare games such as Call of Duty Black Ops, fantasy games such as Final Fantasy or sports games such as Madden 16 or NCAA Football 11. Games that we played more consistently than others were the team sports games such as NCAA football. The NCAA football games not only brought friends together but would also persuade our minds to play football when we were of age. However, EA has not produced a NCAA football game since 2012. Thus leaving the people like us who enjoyed the game, let down. The discontinuation of the NCAA college football series is a result of many things, specifically greed. Unfortunately, with the greediness of the athletes, EA will never be able to make another NCAA college football game.

“One rather simple way of getting interest into your paper is to take the side of the argument that most of the citizens will want to avoid.” (Roberts 381) I love that challenge. When a subject is given by a professor to their students, there are often many ways a student can take that subject and run. Just because a subject is about college football does not mean you should write about whether you agree with the sport or not. You can go many directions with that topic, how football can make students responsible, how college football can become a career, why college football is such a loved sport. I could go on and on. If you know or have an idea that other students in the class are writing in one direction why not give your instructor a curve

There has been amplified debate on the treatment, education, training of the college athlete. To avoid exploitation of athletes, “The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), formed in 1905, set bylaws requiring college student-athletes to be amateurs in order to be eligible for intercollegiate athletics competition” (Schneider n.p.). Intercollegiate athletics have dramatically changed over the last several decades. Currently, intercollegiate athletics generate tremendous amounts of revenue, remarkably in football and basketball. College sports in America is a

College football encourages unnecessary violence and puts various groups of people against each other instead of bringing them together. Some people have argued this since football was adopted to college in the late 1800s which has led considering a permanent ban on college football. Ted Miller attempts to prove that college football is not dangerous enough to be associated with a serious word like “ban”. Even though Ted Miller does make a point in his “Should College Football Be Banned” and clearly explains his opinion, he fails to defend the subject that college football, as harmful as it may seem, should remain a part of American college life.

“6.5% of students become college football players and only 1 of the 1.5% of that group makes it to the NFL”

College athletics has gone from one sport between two school’s clubs to 24 different NCAA regulated sports. According to “The Beginning of Organized

Many People think that the collegiate sports are just a form of entertainment for them and the players but the players think of these sports as a job. The NCAA is the National Collegiate Athletic Association and it is the center of making all of the rules for collegiate sports. They decide on if student athletes are employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act or not. Student athletes do not get enough recognition and seen as students or entertainment but not as employees. Although some people do not believe student athletes deserve the recognition of being employees, others know they should because these students fall under the title employee from the requirements placed by the Fair Labor Standards Act.
