That is one reason college athletes should get paid. Another reason college athletes should get paid is if they are getting paid that gives them more effort to try harder. When you try harder you play better and stronger. Also if they get paid for being athletes they will have money to pay for some of their student loans, book fees and also everything else they must pay for during college. I don’t think college athletes should get paid very much…
For Instance, according to, College coaches get paid, why not the athletes if their the ones that have to take more time out to make themselves grow athletically so they continue to keep their spot on this team. College can be very stressful and these athletes do have to get an education along with find time to study, see family, enjoy life with friends, practice, and travel to play games. There is only 24 hours in a day and only 7 days a week, how will they even have time to bathe? Taking into consideration all of the money these athletes bring in to their schools for programs and credibility they deserve something in return for their hard…
Professional sports players should be paid more than soldiers. Professional sports players work their whole lives to get the career that they have. They could be injured severely during a practice or a game. Once injured they could lose their jobs. They also do not get their money from the government, they are paid by sports fanatics.…
I am personally a collegiate athlete and knows what an athlete goes through. Players shouldn’t get paid millions of dollars like professional athletes, because why would players go on to try and play professionally. On the contrary they should deserve some type of revenue whether it's for clothes shopping, take someone out on a date, gas money, etc. For example that’s the same thing as me asking my friend to do something for me and he does all the work while I sit back and relax.…
I have gotten some reasons why I think that they should get paid. One reason is that the money they make will help later on in life. If athletes start getting paid they will be able to help support a family and pay for most school related activities and supplies. According to CNNMoney most athletes are getting paid around $2,000 to $5,000 a year. Some schools have been seen giving students a few extra thousand more then that.…
A reason I think they shouldn 't get paid is because they sometimes get a free scholarship to play a sport and big league school. Some may say that have to get good grades in order to play. But, what if they have so much practice to do and they slacking in their homework. Well that what happens when you decide to take on a sport at school. Another reason I think college athletes should get paid is because you might not be doing well and they pay you to sit on the bench.…
Should College Athletes Be Paid? 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.…
I think that college athletes should get paid because they are working hard by going to practice and learning new things to make them better and other people besides the college athletes are getting paid. The first reason why I think college athletes should get paid is because when they show up for practice they play hard to get better and win games and I think that If they get paid it will help them pay for the college there going to and make them want to keep playing the sport.…
With the danger these athletes put themselves in they should get paid like athletes Louisville Cardinals Kevin Ware or USC Marcus Lattimore suffered horrific injuries playing a sport they do not get paid for (Prater, 2013). Still think…
College athletes should be paid because all of them have to cope with practice and still maintain a certain GPA. College athletes are risking their lives every day playing very demanding sports. Most of the players are poor, and the players might not make it to the pro level because an injury can occur at any random time. Colleges athletes deserve to be paid because so many of them get injured each year and ruin their chances of going pro.…
Although people say that college athletes should not get paid many people think they should because the bring money in for the college, some athletes poor, and If they don’t make it how to the pros and don’t finish college they need money to support themselves. To begin with college athletes should be paid because they bring in money for colleges when they play on the field,court, and ect. When the athletes play for colleges they bring in revenue for the college. According to “Should college athletes be paid?” (2013), all colleges combined together made over 5 billion dollars in the 2013 NCAA football season and colleges even if they lost still made 500 million dollars or under and if they won the championship game you made over that amount, and if you won the…
Athletes need this income to live, it is fair and reasonable that they get…
That is less than the average american, but yet people want to say that athletes are paid too much for what they do. They get paid only during their season while a teacher, lawyers, doctors and many others and yet these occupations receive more money. While these occupations get paid year round and complain about it, an athlete is working his tail off every day to be paid for a quarter of the year. Also, those employed in other occupations have jobs and a source of money before they get out of college to start them off when they graduate. Meanwhile, a college baseball player goes into his job right after he graduates with little to no money to live off of and only a source of sure income for part of the year.…
At most colleges, athletics are a key source of income and contribute to attracting new students to their schools. Colleges depend on their athletes to go out and make a name for their schools, to represent the institution and programs so well that every student in the country will want to attend that particular university. Some people believe that giving an athlete a paycheck every month is ridiculous considering the fact that most of these athletes are already receiving full scholarships. What these people don’t understand is that college athletes are supposed to be the best of the best at their level and if they have worked their entire lives to get to the point they’re at, and the league they play for (NCAA) makes more than enough money in order to give the players a portion of what they are responsible for producing, then why aren't they being paid? Big time schools…
Likewise, why is it that people who risk their lives do not even earn half the amount of what athletes make. In America today, athletes are way overpaid compared to people that actually put forth work, and effort into saving people. Nevertheless, it just is not right for them to retrieve money so highly. According to Edelman, “Consider this: LeBron James made $71 million last year.…
