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.

how their plan has been implemented, and finally, discuss how our organization deals with change. This sector of the paper will give a better indication of the culture of our organization as well as how they accomplish their goals. For the Alabama Crimson Tide, they are no stranger to success.

Should College Athletes Be Paid? There is an issue that continues to grow with college athletes; should college athletes should be financially compensated? Many argue that college athletes are amateurs, and should not be paid, as they receive compensation in the form of education. Others believe that these athletes produce large revenue for their schools, and the athletic sponsoring body, and therefore should be paid for doing so. There are many limitations on college athletes from the NCAA

Imagine getting up at 6 a.m. for a morning working, going to class from about 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., having practice from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and then going to study tables for about two hours after practice. This is just a typical day in the life of a college athlete. During the seasons they are putting in upwards of 12 hours a day into their school work and sport, and have only a reduced tuition and the pride of representing their university to show for it. College athletes are working full time jobs

Museums There are many museums in Tuscaloosa, but the one you have to visit is the Paul W. Bryant museum. This museum is a great one to visit for any Alabama football fans or just anyone who would like to know any background history of the Crimson Tide football team. It was dominated by Coach Bryant and it preserves the great history of the past all until today and the accomplishments of Nick Saban. There is also a Museum of Art that contains a collection of paintings and other models of unique

from my vantage point on the steps of Gorgas Library, I can’t see a sliver of green or grey. I’ve never seen so many people taking part in Elephant Stomp, a pregame tradition where the Million Dollar Band and the cheerleaders (along with Big Al) get Crimson Tide fans ready to cheer on the football team as they beat whichever team has traveled to Tuscaloosa today. The football team here is the most infamous of all the sports programs at the university, but certainly not the only successful one. A sharp

High Risk Low Reward The debate on whether college athletes should get some type of compensation has been an ongoing one. A documentary which aired on the EPIX channel entitled “Schooled: The Price of College Sports”, shows the evolution of college athletics and how it became what it is now. With the creation of the term “student athletes” in the 1950s by Walter Bayers, student athletes were forced to give their labor for the sake of the NCAA. The term, as expressed by some of the interviewers in

In the United States, college athletics are growing larger by the minute. College athletics contribute not only to the recognition of colleges and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), it also contributes to the income of colleges and the NCAA. Without student athletes, these colleges and the NCAA would not reap the benefits of college athletics, such as: increased awareness of colleges, higher application rates, and of course the revenue brought in from game and event tickets, apparel

St Wendelin’s gym is a place of entertainment and athletics. The gym bring the whole community together and allows them to forget the troubles of the week. Students, faculty, and custodians work very hard to take care of the gym. The floors are alway shining with fresh varnish. The bleachers never have popcorn and candy wrappers laying all over them. It is almost like every game is the first game of the season. The smells of popcorn and fresh sweat permeate every game. The sound of the gym, the
