College Athlete's Deserve Monetary Compensation?

College athletes already get their education free why should they get paid for playing a sport they love playing. What do you think, should college athletes get paid for playing the sport there in? Well I don’t think so and in this paper I will tell you and give you reasons why they shouldn’t be paid. College athletes are already getting a free education they shouldn’t be allowed to be paid. My topic is why college athletes shouldn’t get paid.The first reason is because People would stop watching or attending the college games. Second the kids are already getting a free college education, place to stay, meals, and there book fees paid for. Finally this would cost to much money for the NCAA to pay for all the players in the NCAA.

Working all day every week and never being paid is a nightmare to all. Who would appreciate breaking their backs and never reaping the reward for their hard work? Well college athletes do this day in and day out. Starting around their sophomore year in high school students start the long recruiting process, so that they will be on the scene when their senior year rolls around. They may travel hundreds of miles to play in front of college coaches and staff. However, what may come after is not worth what they go through to get there. Cam Newton and Chris Webber are prime examples of hard-working athletes that were accused of being paid for their services. In Webber’s case, the banner that he helped hang was taken

I strongly believe NCAA athletes should be paid for their contribution to the NCAA. These athletes are directly responsible for the generation of revenue for the NCAA and the Universities. Head coaches garner up to seven million dollars a year and the top-tier athletes currently receive $5,000. There 's no arguing that the players contribute more to a team than the head coach. If athletes were paid more, the likelihood that more athletes would achieve their four years of eligibility with the NCAA would be higher. One athlete. Jadeveon Clowney stated, “If I would have had the chance to take care of my family through college, I would have probably stayed in college." This spike in draft-worthy athletes remaining in college for four years would definitely increase long-term revenue for the NCAA. The average college athlete will spend $3,000 out of their pocket during the season on top of living off food stamps, which the taxpayers provide. This indicates that top tier athletes are only raking in a whopping $2,000 dollars a year. A three star recruit may not even break even after the season.

There has been much debate on whether or not college athletes should be paid. Can one imagine college athletes receiving pay for play on top of all the money they are given to attend that college? College athletes should not receive payment for play. There are many reasons why college athletes should not be paid. For these athletes, school is already being paid for from scholarships. If they were to be paid, it would be unfair to other non-athlete students, they are not professional athletes and should not be paid like one. Also, NCAA sports would not be fair in competition among schools if college athletes were to be paid.

Ever since the creation of collegiate sports, the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has been under discussion weather to pay college athletes in addition to their scholarships. The topic heated up in 1973 when the NCAA came out with a rule that set a limit to the amount of scholarships an athletic program can offer to students. This started speculations that the NCAA was being unfair to students deserving of the scholarships. With college sports growing to colossal levels since then and generating billions of dollars along the way, many are arguing that it is time for the NCAA to share their revenue with the athletes who help get them that money. Paying collegiate athletes would

NCAA athletes took the NCAA to court. Ed O’Bannon, a former NCAA athlete, led the charge for the student athletes. O’Bannon argued that the athletes are being taken advantage of because the schools make millions off of the players’ likeness, meaning the schools make money on selling a jersey, or bobble head of the players and the players deserve some of that money and it should be put into a trust fund for the player. Judge Claudia Wilkin decided the O’Bannon case and gave the athletes everything they wanted in 2014, but in a court of repeals the ruling was reversed and the college just had to pay for the full cost of attendance at the university and did not have to pay for the trust of each athlete (Nocera). This was a small step for college

Collegiate athletes bring in so much revenue and money to the universities and do not get

Due to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules and regulations no college athlete is allowed to receive any compensation or endorsement while participating in college athletics. It is very problematic rules and many people and professional do not agree with these rules. Despite all the researches that suggested that NCAA the Universities makes multimillions dollars a year from college’s sport, the NCAA still insisting on applying the rule that no college athletes should be compensated about their effort and time. We as students, professors, and parents we need to demand that NCAA changes their unfair rules and compensates the students athletes for their

Ryan Vanderfords’ article published in the Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal explores this issue of whether or not college athletes should be paid beyond what they receive in scholarships. Vanderford is currently a law associate at a law firm in Los Angeles, California. He played sports throughout high school and college, so the author can relate to this topic. The payment of college athletes has become a more prominent issue in today’s society then it has been in the past. He argues that at major universities, student athletes help the school generate their revenue and therefore should be paid. In “Pay-For-Play: An Age-Old Struggle for Appropriate Reform in a Changing Landscape Between Employers and Employee” Ryan Vanderford

College athletes are some of the most intense players in all of amateur and professional sports. These college players are even sometimes better than some professional player in their prime time in college. These college players play their hearts out to make it professionally, so that they can eventually get paid for doing something they love. Although some of these athletes just use their talents to help pay for their schooling over the years. These athletes receive many awards over their college careers and can earn scholarships for college, but as far as playing they are not allowed to be paid at all. Although a lot of people agree that college athletes should be paid, there are many studies that show why these players should not be receiving

In this paper, I argue that college varsity athletes should be paid for playing sports that bring in revenue. In particular, College football and basketball because they bring in the majority of the revenue for the schools. The revenue accomplished by college sports programs continues to increase, due to the growth in interest of the NCAA basketball tournament and the college football playoffs (Berry III, Page 270). Throughout the past few years, one of the main topics debated in college sports is whether or not the athletes should be paid.

The NCAA is one of the biggest organizations and one of the most polemical arguments in the college sports world is whether student athletes should be paid or not beyond a scholarship. Student athletes are being exploited for their hard work and dedication to the sport. Universities give the illusion that they are providing fair compensation with an athletic scholarship however, they profit off of the student athletes. The NCAA states that student athletes should not be paid because they are amateurs compared to professionals and prohibits them from receiving any money from anything other than a part time job. College athletes deserve a perquisite beyond a scholarship; the NCAA is taking the time from college athletes, profiting way more

he American university system has presented elite athletes with a rare opportunity. Only in the states can an individual compete at a publicized level while obtaining a college degree (“Mark Emmert”). Such combination of a commercialized business and an educational institute alludes to the debate on student athlete’s wages. However, the opposing side rises above on study-ridden research. Facts can conclude that college athletes should not be paid. Therefore, before the NCAA starts handing out large salaries, administration must consider not only the negative aftereffects of raised tuition and lost revenue, but the handouts a student athlete already receives.

A senior in college sports has no pay rate, and a rookie in professional sports can earn a multi-million dollar contract. The difference can be a one-year gap. College athletes are not allowed to be paid, but receive a scholarship instead. Many college athletes do not put the scholarships to good use, they often end up with low paying jobs after school, and colleges have lots of money to fund pay for athletes. If there is absolutely no way a college athlete can be paid, there are different solutions such as colleges helping students to focus on education more than playing sports. Athletes in college should not only be given a scholarship, but also a salary in their involvement in sports.

College sports are the pinnacle of most colleges. There is a stimulus, or better yet, rising arguments whether college athletes should get paid. It has been more controversial whether college football players, in particular, are the main focus of this debate. A lot of students and news reporters agree that college football players should indeed get paid for representing their school on the field. These athletes are not yet professional athletes and should not be treated like they are. The involvement of money has a way to manipulate these young men’s mind to play for the money instead of the sport. It changes the purity of the game, and encourages cheating and dishonesty. In addition, since they
