Is it really necessary for the Navajo Technical University to take out an athletic fee of $50 for students that do not use the Gym or join in any sports activities? That extra $50 dollars that could be put in the students pocket and use to a much better advantage. They could also use it for gas to travel from their home to campus or use it for the Navajo Nation transit bus. They could also use it for food when they don’t have anything to eats. The school already takes out fees for library, technical fees, and activity fees. This are more than enough for the school to thrive with. Will, there are some student on this campus that don’t use their athletic. They do not join any sports or indulge in any athletic programs. There should be waives that a student should sign for actually saying they would like to join an athletic program or use the weight room. Will, there are times that students’ have to report to the gym to orientations or presentation, maybe that’s why students pay. To the student that should be no reason for the fee to be forced up on the student to pay that $50 collar athletic …show more content…
Like paying a fee that would be lesser then paying a travel fee with the NTU vans that charge so much to pick students up at a given time. Using the Navajo Transit bus seems more cost worthy then taking the NTU van for a semester. Some students do say that the NTU bus is expensive to be riding and waiting all day for it to leave is a hassle. Most students just have one class or so, then have to wait all day just to leave in the evening at five o’clock. Will the up side to staying all day would be to do your work all day and get all your study time in. Then if the student misses the bus it would be up to them to find a way back to where they are headed or just to get to school. This part of the transportation has it pros and cons to the well being of the
Before making any cuts to specific sport clubs or implementing a participation fee we decided to obey two explicit rules throughout the process of the budget revision. The first rule is to ensure that athletics are equally fair throughout the school regardless of sport. Each student should feel that their
Have you ever wondered if a college athlete should or shouldn’t get paid? Well the truth is that, the athletes don’t see their fair share even if they’re one of the best players on the team. Many believe that scholarships cover the fact that college athletes don’t get paid.
Not all athletes receive full rides or any scholarships at all yet, they still spend as much time and put as much effort into the sport just as someone who has had one received. The NCAA league makes a reportedly $11+ billion a year. None of which goes to any athlete. Paying the athlete could make the sport more competitive and appealing to one 's eye.
One argument against the payment of college athletes are the scholarships they receive. “The notion that a full scholarship is not a fair exchange for athletic services provided to a university—regardless of how much money an athletic department generates from those services—is ridiculous” (Whitlock). College is very expensive to attend, and with so many students going into thousands of dollars of debt, it is a privilege that some athletes are lucky to receive. Whitlock also argues that the money the athletes will receive from the schools will go towards the purchase of drugs and alcohol, and other unnecessary things.
On top of a scholarship, student athletes are also provided with many free things such as game tickets, apparel and equipment. Although scholarships take off a lot of the cost to go to college, they aren’t enough on their own. Most scholarships are not full ride and students are left to pay some school fines. Student athletes need an income to help pay the extra money they owe that the scholarship doesn’t pay for, and also so that they have some money when they come out of college. Paying college athletes is a way to encourage students to play sports.
College athletes should be happy that they do not have to pay for all of their gear plus school, books, and dorm. They get a free education. Athletes aren’t forced to take the scholarship that they get offered to them. Therefore if the athlete gets a scholarship
GGrowing up on the Navajo Nation is an experience, compared to residing in a city. I grew up in Tuba City, an hour north of Flagstaff, AZ. Tuba City, a town with a population a little over 8,500, several restaurants, one grocery store, two high schools, and two stoplights. On the other hand, the town is growing.
The debate over whether or not student-athletes should receive money has been a hot topic recently. College athletes should benefit monetarily for their efforts because of the serious risks involved, the time the athletes put into it, and if the college is making money off these students they should financially benefit from it. Playing college sports is a dream for some kids, but many do not fully comprehend the issues involved in college sports. There is real danger involved with playing any sport, players can get seriously injured. The physical risks involved in sports are extensive.
Not everyone wants to stay on campus and they may not be in walking distance of the campus. When they drive to class they want there to be a
High School Sports Should be Funded Every year 300,000 students are participating in sports (Gould 1). The School District has been funding the athletics program, which has been benefiting many of the students’ lives for several years. The discontinuation of high school sports will cause many students to loose the health, social and educational benefits provided by participating in athletics. The School District should continue to fund sports because they benefit students.
This is also true because the bus drivers do not have to keep putting up kids for 2 days, and not only one. Another reason that I think that there should be combined
It's a controversial topic, whether college athlete be paid or not. College athletes should not be paid. Their scholarships are payment enough, paying them could make the public lose interest in college sports and they earn way more than someone with just a high school diploma. If they were paid, it seems like they'd be benefiting too much.
Paying them will help them manage their money later in life. Paying the athletes will help them and the college. Next time you see them play, think of the time they spend on the sport and how hard they
A growing debate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association is whether or not student athletes should be paid. The controversy began in 2011 after three hundred coaches and athletes signed a petition to pay college-level athletes, and since then other athletes have made several more arguments. The NCAA has rightfully denied all of the requests, saying they include too much. To pay student athletes could be hugely expensive for colleges, especially because they would not only pay for each athlete’s degree and equipment, but also provide a salary and give bonuses revenue for tournaments. Moreover, college athletes should not be paid because there is not enough money, it takes away a student’s focus from schoolwork, and not every athlete is guaranteed a professional career after graduating; however it is argued that it they are already paid in a way.
Although this could result in students being in school 30 minutes longer it gives them the opportunity to complete some tasks that would cause them stress later that
