I have several friends who play college sports. They love playing but, they spend a lot of time practicing and conditioning. They hardly have any time to themselves and they don’t have any money. College sports are very time demanding and the athletes don’t get any money for their participation. I think that’s wrong. Playing a college sport is like having a job. The average day of a college athlete usually starts out with having early morning weights or conditioning. Then they have to go…

to be in the best shape to play it. However, what many do not know about golf, is that there is an athletic ability and physical exertion needed to play it.

How would you feel if you worked hard all season and went to every game and practice and you got the same trophy as the kid who sat bench all season? Not so good right?

Youth athletes should…

While the overall definition and the four p’s of marketing covers the basics of what sports marketing is, the definition does not begin to define what sports marketing is in my opinion. The most popular form of sports marketing in my opinion is that of marketing merchandise outside of the sports field via athletes. What do you think is the most effective…

People have been arguing for years over if athletes get paid too much or are paid fairly. Some critics might think athletes are overpaid. Athletes are paid fairly. As a result athletes give money to their family, companies, and charities. Now most player come from a bad home and their families need money for food and water. In addition a lot of players give money to companies or make investments if they didn’t a lot of small or big companies will go out of business. Finally a lot of players…

Sports in the US is a considerably touched upon subject , people arguing which team is better or who's going to win this season, although our military is more of a need and should be . It’s true that quite a few people are against war and don’t support our military whatsoever, but should still understand that without it we wouldn't be a free country and also wouldn't be able to defend against potential threats or help our allies, so…

NCAA and schools alone. Amateurism then serves as an image by the NCAA to take advantage of such great athletes, creating a system that benefits off of their talents for at least a couple years. If the money that these sports made for the schools’ athletic department was not so great, then possibly the NCAA could support the idea that the students are just participating in a normal extra curricular activity. The NCAA changed scholarship terms so that they needed to be renewed every year. Which…

There were many factors that contributed to NFL players losing a large portion of their wealth to financial investors.
