    has competitive sports as popular as professional teams. College football and basketball make more than the NBA, nearly $6 billion every year. A free education is not enough if the NCAA wants to act as a money making business, and not reward the teammates that are making it profitable. If the NCAA does not want to pay college athletes, than it should not hold the players back from going into the professional league. The NCAA players should be entitled to some type of pay for the work that they…
