According to NCAA rules “you are not eligible for participation in a sport if you have ever: taken pay, or the promise of pay, for competing in that sport”.

Should College Athletes Get Paid? Would you like to work harder in college sports if you got paid? I know I would. I’m talking about this topic because I think it’s important that the college athletes get something for themselves.

While catching up on some game day scores for college football, an article popped up on the side with a title reading, College Athletes Deserve To Be Paid. I noticed it was written by Michael Wilbon, one of the hosts from the ESPN show, Pardon the Interruption. Already disagreeing with the title before even reading it, I was skeptical, but I clicked on the link and started to read. Wilbon brought up a number of decent points throughout the article, but for some odd reason, they didn’t seem to add up to me. This is why I took the opportunity to do a little more research behind the points made in the article and came up with a concept of my own. Wilbon’s reasons why to pay the athletes don’t have a

One of the most controversial subjects we as individuals hear about this day in age is whether or not college athletes deserve to be paid. Many people argue that these athletes do intact, deserve to be paid for their time and hard work. NCAA athletes create a name for themselves by playing and performing well on their college teams. The better these athletes perform, the more publicity the school revives. This then leads to higher ticket sales and stores around campus selling jerseys and other clothing items with athletes names and numbers on the back. NCAA schools have become comfortable with using athletes’ names to bring in a revenue for the school, and yet the athletes never see any of that money. On the other hand, many people believe that these athletes do not deserve, nor should they expect to receive payment in return. They believe that these scholarships and the education are payment in itself. Some even bring up the question on if it is affordable or even realistic to pay college athletes.

Tyler Proctor Professor Gilchrist English 101 26 November 2017 College Athletes Deserve to be Paid Many young athletes play a sport at their school in hope of one day to making it to the pros and have the opportunity make a lot of money. But what about while they are still attending school? Student athletes have almost no way to earn any.

For years now there have been the argument if college athletes should be paid to play or not. It is an ongoing debate between many people including the National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA), athletes, coach, and other various people. The has debate has gone far enough that a lawsuit has started over it. There are many arguments for college athletes being paid such as; the athletes do not have time to work, their images are being used without any type of pay, and how the NCAA and coaches make millions of dollars off of the players while the players do not make anything. On the flip side of this, arguments that the athletes should not be paid include; they get paid in other varies ways, the average college athletic department loses enough money already without paying the athletes, and the fact that not all college athletes are in school to become professional athletes anyhow so making money from their athletic abilities should not be an issue for them at all.

In the recent past, college athletics has gained massive fame in the United States. The immense fame of the college athletics has developed over the past twenty years. The massive development and fame of the college athletics have resulted in improved incomes for the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). Due to increased revenue received by the NCAA, the participates in athletics in the colleges has fuelled the argument of whether the college athletes need to be paid and rewarded more than just the athletic scholarships.

The NCAA, National Collegiate Athletic Association, is a “non-profit” organization which regulates players from 1,281 institutions and earns $995 million annually (Garda). The 480,000 athletes hosted by the NCAA do not receive a penny of the NCAA’s revenue (Nocera). The real question is, who is the labor force behind the NCAA? The labor force is the athletes. Who does not receive a salary from the NCAA for their labor? The players do not receive a salary. There is no other labor force that does not receive pay, only benefits. College-level athletes are only allowed to accept scholarships, and in some cases players have been disqualified for receiving money in other ways than presented by the attended institution. Scholarships provide players
