Canadian Colleges Athletic Association

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, regulates various conferences and athletes within their affiliated leagues. The NCAA considers itself as a non-profit organization, yet the company runs very similar to a business. The NCAA has reportedly generated “over $11 billion in annual revenues” (Benedykciuk 2). Two of the most marketable sports, football and basketball, generate the most revenue based on viewership and advertisements. The athletes whom share a large part in…

Only few college sports bring in an ample amount of money this year; football and basketball provide the largest intake of money for the NCAA. Sadly, less popular sports like track, golf, bowling, etc. has a very low intake of money each year. Critics could state that the NCAA could choose to only fund the money making sports. The problem with this consumption is that not all athletes will be paid, which will lead to lawsuits. There are an abundance of negative reasons that college student…

Through the National Collegiate Athletic Association, they serve 1117 colleges and universities with over 40 sports organizations that are recognized. ii. Within all 3 divisions, the NCAA is comprised of nearly half a million athletes. iii. Since UW-Madison is recognized as Division 1, the association allows the university to have larger budgets to split between all their sports: basketball, football, and swimming…

With all due respect, I believe that the NCAA’S is not being morally justifiable under any circumstance. The National Collegiate Athletic Association earns numerous amounts of money through private businesses deals. It is such a shame how “wealthy” committees cannot even assist to pay student athletes towards their tuition, or at least their medical bills. The college athletes should have the right to get some sort of compensatory money for playing for their school. For instance, like some…

[source needed here otherwise = plagiarism] Being an athlete in college is a semester-long commitment. College athletes dedicate 40-60 hours per week to their sport, which makes it impossible for them to get a job with medical benefits. College athletes should be paid to play sports because this will create a fair and equal relationship between player and university. The first reason college athletes should be paid to play sports in college is because if they are not financially compensated,…

For many years, playing sports in college was merely part of the curriculum, done for the love of the game. But things have changed dramatically and this paper argues that today, college and university athletes should be paid. Discussion There was a time when playing college football or other sports was something young people did because it was fun and because it took some skill to make the teams. A person on the football team was important, a sort of hero to his classmates. Over time,…

other ordeals those normal students face no one truly has a lot of time to get a job. Athletes have built in connections that non-athletes do not have, so being on an athletic team is by far more advantageous then simply being a student. So why should student athletes be the only students benefitting monetarily for their hard work (College Athletes). No one is enslaving nor, “forcing these athlete-students to play football. Don't hand me the garbage about it being their only opportunity in life.…

Compensating a Deserving Athlete In order to reduce the unfair treatment of college athletes, the National College Athletic Association should compensate their student-athletes because they spend time on a sport that is equal to a full time job, also the athletes must maintain steady production in order to keep their scholarship, because they must provide a good amount of revenue for the schools they play for. College athletes live a lifestyle that has no time for leisure. They must produce a…

Universities need the athletic program just as much as athletes need the athletic program. Although colleges benefit more from the relationship, the only route for athletes is through the university. By having college sports, a university is able to market the athletic department as a reason to come as well as a make a profit from the department. On the other hand, athletes have the chance to study and broaden their knowledge; practice and play against the best athletes; access to the best…

In college athletics, the exploitation of athletes is a common occurrence among larger division 1 athletic schools, specifically in basketball and football. In many cases the college is the main source of exploitation, but do the athletes take advantage of cases such as this? Some believe that college athletes deserve some form of compensation in return for their exposure for their colleges financial successes whether in the form of jersey sales, luring spectator’s into the stands or whatever…
