    They know what it's like to have to fight and work their hardest to get to the point that they are at. Personally, I think that if college athletes were paid now on how they were playing, they wouldn't play as hard because they are already receiving money.

The athletes are still too young to be receiving large amounts of profits.…

    Players should be compensated for putting their lives at risk, and intentionally injuring themselves for their teams. “Is it fair that coach Nick Saban of the University of Alabama recently signed a $55.2 million contract, but Tyrone Prothro, the Crimson Tide wide receiver celebrated for making “The Catch” in 2005, fractured both bones in his lower leg in his next game? Saban is wealthy and Protho is in debt and out of football” (Karaim 14). It is hard to understand how this player should suffer from insufficient funds after playing a big role on the football team. The opposite side has their own opinion about the situation.…
