Kahan’s first example is from Wisconsin, where a person caught stealing from their employer will be required to wear a sign around them stating their offense (571).

The second most popular argument against paying college athletes is that if they got paid, they would be considered professionals. The NCAA should change this rule. It only encourages “under the table” deals where college boosters pay the top high school athletes to come to their school
