Should Faith-Based Organizations Be Responsible For Stipends?

Have you thought about college athletes being paid? The college athletes don’t need the money, and the good college athletes are already being paid when they get a full ride to play the sport they’re good at. The colleges would have to find a way to pay the athletes, therefore, they couldn’t afford to pay the athletes. More and more students would try to play a sport at the next level, also playing sports is a privilege and the way it is it should stay that way. College athletes shouldn’t be paid.

After reading College Athletes Should Not Be Paid, I agree with Posnanski’s viewpoint in that college athletes should not be given a stipend on top of what they already receive. Main reasons would be what they already get, the consequences, and better ways to distribute money. College Athletics, especially basketball and football, have been extremely successful in the way it makes money for NCAA either through merchandise, tickets, or their bowl system. Also it has grown to such a national stage with the dedication of fans and passionate Alumni who would go to the ends of the earth to show their colleagues who went to a better school.

One might say the majority of student athletes already receive payment through scholarships, so why pay them when they are going to school for free? That may be true however, if the athletes are receiving money, their grades could possibly improve. Also, if payments were to be implemented, it could keep the student athletes in school

I understand why the NCAA doesn't allow players on getting paid because they are trying to keep it amateur and it will cost the school a lot of money and it will bring athletes to schools who don’t have what they want to study for which can be a problem. But I'm not saying to pay them tens of thousands or millions but at least help take care of your players by giving them at least 100 dollars or something. There are a majority of students who live in poverty can't afford a lot and for some students the scholarship was their breakthrough to become an athlete who makes millions and takes their family out of being poor but they have a long way there and already have one road block in it.

There is currently a major issue in today’s college athletics. Universities and the NCAA make billions of dollars while some student-athletes go hungry. There is a huge debate over whether or not student-athletes should be paid as employees of their respective colleges. Personally, I don’t believe players should receive full-time salaries, but Universities and the NCAA should be required to increase the value of the scholarships that they award to student-athletes. By requiring that colleges provide athletes with an additional $2,000 per semester as part of their scholarship you can greatly increase the well-being (welfare) of the students.

It’s time for change to take place, college athletes should be rewarded like the professionals in the NCAA and conferences across the country market them to be. College athletes should receive stipends because there is a large discrepancy between what college athletes are worth and how much they are given, because athletic scholarships do not cover the full cost of living, and because the operation, money, and industry associated with college athletics is too great to still be titled “amateur”.

Hartnett points out that even with a scholarship many college athletes are broke while NCAA executives are making about $1 million per year (Hartnett). Coaches earn at least $100,000 per year and also receive bonuses on top of that when their team does well while their athletes receive nothing (Hartnett). I don’t see how this is fair at all and Hartnett also brings up how athletes promote and make money for their school and yet receive nothing for it (Hartnett). The NCAA executives are obviously doing well because of what the college athletes are doing for them, so I think a little extra paycheck at the end of the month wouldn’t be too much of a

Athletes who are given full ride athletic scholarships receive free tuition, housing, books, meals and money for basic needs. In addition, they get to attend a top college which they might have not been accepted into without excelling at a particular or multiple sports. With all of these benefits, some people think college athletes should be paid a stipend. College athletes in the United States should not be paid because of the negative effects on the athletes, colleges and the public.

One of the main reasons people say that the students shouldn’t be paid is because the scholarship they receive if a more than fair ‘pay.’ What the students bring in revenue to the school exceeds what is covered by scholarship which includes: tuitions and fees, room, board and course based books. An average scholarship usually covers around 2,000 dollars to 5,000 dollars this is not enough money for anyone to live off of, yet this students have to live like this(Welch). People that work for minimum wage make 15,080 dollars a year, and that is hard to live off, these students get over 10,000 dollars left with little help from scholarship. Another reason that people say that athletes shouldn’t be paid is because there is not enough money for everyone or there isn’t a fair way to pay the athletes. This reason is not fair because these students are the reason that the money is available in the first place. Any extra money that the school/program has could be split up for the revenue producing athletes. People also say that there is not enough money that the athletes could be paid but that is entirely false. Many of the top paid officials in each state is a college head coach of mens or womens basketball, or football. New facilities are constantly being put up for the teams as well, some updates may be necessary but not

Paying them would get rid of the gap between the opportunity cost and the received payment, making them better off participating in athletics. Although it is clear through the economic interpretation of the NCAA that current restrictions about the payment of athletes are inefficient, some people incorrectly think that fixed wages (scholarships) are necessary to maintain equal athletic competition among schools.

Although I believe athletes should be paid, not everyone sees eye to eye with me. Title IX is a law that enforces all collegian athletes are not allowed to be paid for playing for the school. They say that athletes already receive money from athletic scholarships

college athletes is “Should college athletes be paid?” and if so, why aren’t we? Thousands of

Although some college athletes have trouble paying for their food during college, the NCAA this year is allowing the colleges to give out stipends to give a little extra money to the athletes for food and other activities.(CNNMoney) This money still doesn’t amount to how much money these student-athletes need for food and extra-curricular activities. If the athletes got paid extra money they wouldn’t have as much trouble while they are helping themselves while at school financially. This would allow more athletes to be able to afford college so they can earn their degree.

According to Bill Hull, “While certain pockets of evangelicalism have grown, overall, the church is in a decline. Many congregations can attest to Hull’s assessment, in that, churches in America are indeed experiencing sharp declines in its numbers of baptisms and church attendance. Over

This book written by my implementation advisors. He is the Executive Pastor of Generosity at Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, KS. Smith communicates the role of purpose and vision plays in establishing generous response of all generations. He has increased the endowment giving to their church significantly through making purpose and vision evident and inviting the older generation to participate. Smith also states that it is a natural relationship between owning vision personally through service and financially for staff, leaders, and lay members.
