Having a college degree is not nearly as valuable as it once was (Siebold, par. 4). Bachelor’s degrees are now quite common, which devalues them dramatically. For too long, the NCAA has refused to regard sportsmen as employees of schools. College leaders dismiss the idea of classifying student-athletes as…

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is an amazing non-profit organizations that help athletes make their dreams come true.

The question is, “Should collegiate athletes be paid?” That is a pretty simple question, but that is where the chaos starts. Although some people believe…

public popularity of intercollegiate athletic had opened the door to the commercialization of college sports. Excessive commercialism, unethical behavior, and the exploitation of student athletes are said to be instrumental detractors from the overall mission of higher education (Weight et al., 2015). This perception is prevalent by some of today’s faculty (Ridpath, 2008). However, when it comes to views on the commercialization of intercollegiate athletics, this section will begin with an…
