some of its most avid fans. UCLA Athletics must change that next season by making student tickets free. Currently, students pay at least $129 to attend men’s basketball and football games with the Den Pass. This fee, while…

The Olympics are majorly popular sports events, taking place every 2 years, where the world’s best athletes all come together in one set country and compete in a large number of athletic sports in order to win as many medals as possible. It all sounds enjoyable; however, these events are expensive, costing millions of dollars at a time, and all paid for by the host country. So, financially, it is not a good idea for us to be a host country. This is evident by proof of what happened to Athens…

Swish!!!!! There's another bucket from Lebron James, who is the highest paid athlete and who also makes 71 million dollars a year. Professional athletes take time away from their lives. They deserve to have high salaries. They take time away from their families and their everyday lives. Some athletes put their lives on the line. Just for our entertainment, but we as fan repay them by packing the stands, by cheering for them, by supporting them through every win and every lost. Athletes like…

Don't listen to Jeremiah Jacobs. Why make such a bold statement upfront? I only do this to give you straight facts, though please do keep on reading for the evidence that follows. The main difficulty with Jacobs running for School President is based off of his many empty promises and his overestimated abilities to get what he wants. Not to mention his inadequacy of taking on such a role while keeping the interest of the school as a whole without the understanding necessary as compared to…

In this essay I’m going to tell you if pro sports player should earn more money than soldiers.I was for that pro sport players should earn more.Now let me tell you why pro sports players should earn more. The army is not a private business.According to http://www.debate.org/ its says that it’s for a government owned facility,and because there isn’t a demand or market since it like there is for any other pro sport game.The soldiers only get what they get based on how much they get from a…

Is paying college athletes worth it? “I honestly think college athletes should be paid, because they put hard work and dedication into everything they do on the field.” Every college student athlete has a lot of pressure upon them during school, then showing up for practice giving coaches 100% each day it’s a rush and adrenaline pump. If college students were getting paid during on and off season like the NFL I think college would have more graduates, then dropouts and even colleges that loose…

that allows both the NCAA and university to use their names, likenesses and images for any purpose. Money pours in from athletic apparel sells, television and radio broadcast, stadium and arena parking passes, game tickets, donations and more. Not only is it unfair that the athletes are being used and don’t see a dime of the billions they are making while they are playing in college, because of the documents signed, the NCAA and universities still make money off…

all this work was even worth. Many college athletes put in work from a very tender age, then continue to work their entire lives to have the opportunity to play in college and one day possibly have the opportunity to play the sport they do not only love, but something that they sacrifice for on a daily basis thought-out their lives. The on-going debate of college athletes being compensated for their time and long “job-like” hours that athletes put into their athletic careers is a heated one,…

increasing popularity of college sports in the United States, individuals have begun to question whether college athletes should be paid like professionals. But college athletes are students and amateur players, meaning that college athletes are not given money to play a sport. Student-athletes attend college to get an education, not to be paid to play a sport. Already compensating athletes for playing are scholarships. Also, paying athletes would cause countless problems. Some college sports…

In their article “The Case for Paying College Athletes”, authors Allen Sanderson and John Siegfried examine the current circumstance of college sports, how it came to be, and why and how they think it will eventually change. The status quo of college sports in America is, of course, one in which athletic departments and universities are conferred untold riches off of the efforts of their unpaid labor. Athletic Departments are able to justify this inequitable status quo by maintaining that their…
