A main argument in Collegiate level sports is if the student athletes should receive pay or not. Former athletes may argue that a student playing a sport at a university should be paid; some spectators do not see pay for college athletes is a necessity needed. For some athletes tuition, room and board, and book expenses are covered through a full athletic scholarship, and these scholarships are still more than what academic students can receive (Block). What more could the athletes possibly want from the university? The athletes are being noticed throughout the whole country on Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) channels, isn’t the publicity enough plus earning a free college degree?…

Do you think college athletes should be paid? On one side, some believe that college athletes should be paid. However, some believe they shouldn’t.

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.…
In 2011, the NCAA (no author) reported that only 2% of high school student athletes were awarded athletic scholarships to compete at the collegiate level. This statistic…
People may also argue the fact that these student athletes can and probably will get hurt playing their sport and they should get paid. This is a terrible argument because the student is playing the sport at their own risk and they know this. Just because a student athlete gets injured is no reason to start paying them money. When the athlete takes the scholarship to play the sport they know that they are at risk of injury. If the athlete does get hurt it is not the colleges’ or the NCAA’s responsibility to begin paying the athlete money.…

Universities across the country make millions of dollars every year from college athletics. However, student-athletes receive nothing except for college tuition and room/board in return, even though they are the foundation of the entire industry. This one-sided trend must not continue, for college athletes often struggle to pay for transportation, clothing, a place to live and food to eat, while the universities reap the rewards from their labors. College athletes should be paid money in some form as compensation for universities using their likeness and profiting from their athletic exploits. The first reason college athletes should be paid is that while playing sports for their schools they risk injury, and they lose time for studying which can affect their learning.…
