College scholarships, the attraction of every devoted sports player out there. Earning scholarships brings players together not only to step up their game, but to be enthusiastic about exceeding their academic goals. Colleges put down an amount of money to attract top athletes from high schools all over their state. Athletic meaning all sports, like golf, fencing, and water polo. Tons of schools and families support the aid colleges grant in their athletic scholarship programs, while others are against it, saying that it has too few people who are accepted and that it takes away money that everyone else has to pay for their classes. They don’t realize that players will be encouraged to do great academically, so that they may do great

I did some research and according to NCAA.org the average scholarship is typically less than $50,000 over the course of four years.

These scholarships give these athletes everything that they need and much more. Getting paid by the college would defeat the purpose of the scholarship; so the scholarships will be taken away and then the athletes will be left alone dealing with their own money which could prove to be difficult for most of them to manage along with school work and practices. They have everything that they need right in front of them provided for the most part by the school and sports administration department.

Many will argue that college athletes do not need to be compensated because they are student-athletes; and the key word for them is student. One argument against paying college athletes is that they are basically receiving a free education from a top school. A four-year scholarship will cover everything a student-athlete needs. This includes: tuition, room and board, books, medical coverage and meals. For example, Duke University costs $57,180 to attend (Bleacher Report, 2013). Those on an athletic scholarship at Duke are receiving a high quality education and are

In The Cartel: Inside the Rise and Imminent fall of the NCAA, Taylor Branch is piecing together pieces of evidence and information about scandals that arose both the NCAA’s perspective as well as his own perspective to show contrast in the controversial findings within the NCAA concerning athletes and leadership. Throughout the entirety of the book, the picture that is being painted by Branch is that the NCAA as well as the institutions are reaping the benefits of intercollegiate athletics. While the "big men” are reaping the benefits of the skill and hard work of the college athletes. The information in Branch’s work not only presents the documents of scandals, but also presents his argument and proof for greed that is overtaking humanity, as well as athletics. The main focus is on the underlying theme of greed.

Concussion is based on the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu who first discovered the deadly brain disease known as CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. When Omalu first discovered CTE in 2002 during an autopsy of Mike Webster, a Hall-of-Fame Steelers' professional, the NFL largely ignored him. They used to attribute this problem with older patients as having Alzheimer's but that was not the case. In fact, the NFL went on full offense to deny the existence of such a disease, and they did their best to discredit Omalu because they did not want to have to pay for it.

     The NCAA also offers a special assistance fund that was created in 1991. This fund allows for student athletes to be given up to 500 dollars a year to

NCAA Divisions I and II schools provide more than $2.9 billion in athletics scholarships annually to more than 150,000 student-athletes. Division III schools do not offer athletics scholarships (NCAA). That means not that many people will not get college paid for. College tuition is a lot to pay for. The college sports industry generates $11 billion in annual revenues. Fifty colleges report annual revenues that exceed $50 million. Meanwhile, five colleges report annual revenues that exceed $100 million (U.S. News). All of this money should be use to support college athletes and their family to get out of

highschool. The scholarships being given out to the students athletes are only given to the best of the best, so they should take the recruiting process serious. Division one colleges are limited to 85 full scholarships each year but other smaller levels of colleges can offer lesser scholarships that are not a full ride, but they will most definitely help him or her throughout the recruiting and scholarship process. A athletic full ride scholarship is hard to come by, one who receives this is provided the 100% of college tuition for free, for their next four years of college. Full-ride scholarships are hard to come by, so there are also partial scholarships where about twenty-five percent of the student athletes tuition is covered. Unfortunately,

The NCAA was established in 1950 and currently has over 1,100 colleges. The NCAA has a broad range of rules, but for the purposes of the case, the rules in question deals with eligibility requirements, the number and size of scholarships each school can offer, and whether the student athletes can be compensated and for what they can be compensated for. All of these variables are under the strict control and decision of the NCAA, which currently states that student athletes cannot receive compensation outside of the set rules. The student athletes are considered as being compensated by scholarships and higher education but are limited to compensation that require the student’s athletic skills to be performed outside of

There is an on-going debate over whether college athletes should be compensated for their athletic participation at universities. Under current NCAA policy, college athletes are compensated via scholarships. Scholarships are payments that are placed towards a student’s education. These provide athlete’s food, board, and cover all education expenses. The NCAA provides approximately 1380,000 scholarships to Division I and II sports each year (US News).The majority of athletic scholarships must be renewed each year. In other words, colleges can drop an athlete’s scholarship after the academic year. This puts pressure on students to not only perform well in their sport, but also academically. Also, college athletes must perform well on the

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a non-profit institution that governs athletes of 1,281 institutions, conferences, and individuals. It organizes the athletic programs of many colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and assists more than 450,000 collegiate student-athletes who compete annually in college sports. Sports sanctioned by the NCAA include the following: basketball, baseball (men), beach volleyball (women), softball (women), football (men), cross country, field hockey (women), bowling (women), golf, fencing (coeducational), lacrosse, soccer, gymnastics, rowing (women only), volleyball, ice hockey, water polo, rifle (coeducational), tennis, skiing (coeducational), track and field, swimming and

A student playing a college sport receives scholarships and grants but those assistances are not enough, for a student to pay for their education. According to Hartnet “A full Division 1 scholarship is about $25,000 per year” (1). A state university on “average cost about $23,000 dollars to attend for one year” (collegedata.com), most of the time this cost doesn’t include books or any hidden extra fees that a college or university might have. Also most college athletes only last one to two years with an athletic scholarship, because they usually transfer to a different institution when they can no longer receive the scholarship (Hartnet 1). An average athletic scholarship will not cover the cost of a

I was first curious about concussions when I was nearing the end of my sophomore year of high school when my brother Tayt received one. It was before a track practice in the locker room where he slipped on the floors and landed right on

According to Scholarship Stat.com, “U.S. Colleges awarded over $3 billion in athletic scholarships to varsity athletes during 2014.” It helps students who financially cannot afford school have the ability to get an education. They work just as hard as an academic student because they train hard in their sports and study to keep their grades good. A lot of students have trained their whole lives working toward that scholarship to get into that college. Without the opportunity from these scholarships some students may never get the chance to go to school or play
