Are professional athletes making too much money? In most professional sports athletes are making millions. Athletes are not making too much money, we are the ones that support them, they give up their lives for the sport, and they want to do as much for their families as they can. We can’t blame the athletes for all their money when we are the ones paying for the games and supporting it. Sports is something that keeps a lot of people going, some people think about sports all the time, day and…

Some of these players were accused of receiving in the upwards of 200,000 dollars to play at the university they were recruited to, others were suspended for selling their jerseys for just a few hundred dollars. Dez Bryant…

It took me by surprise when they said that many college student's debts are exceeding $100,000 quite frequently. I would never imagine having to pay that amount of money just to pursue a good paying career that can provide for your entire life. Although, I have not paid for my college these past 2 years due to having a full ride scholarship for softball, I am glad that I can actually not have to worry about that particular thing just yet. I have been fortunate enough for my coaches to pay for my…

When Disney announced their numbers for its fourth quarterly earnings in 2015, we saw a massive decline in revenue and subscribers from ESPN, a whopping 3.2 million subscribers in 2015 and a cumulative of 7 million subscribers within the span of two years, reported Nielsen. This major decline resulted from the acts of ‘cord shaving’ and ‘cord cutting, which is respectively when consumers opt in for ‘skinny bundles’ that does not include expensive programming and when they decide to cut their…

Every year millions of people print out those college basketball brackets and participate in their office pools. However what many of us do not know is that the NCAA generates 900 million dollars over a three week span we know as March Madness (Berr 1). The only madness about this is the fact that out of the 900 million dollars the players of the 68 teams do not see a penny. There is a major issue with these student athletes especially in the sports of men's football and men's and women's…

First of all, it is necessary to point out that Batesville is not in ICC’s range of recruitment. This is important because the college gained talented students, like Jake, who did not even belong to the region in which ICC immediately recruits. We know that IMPACT played a major role in this recruitment, which only expanded when the group detached from ICC. As Jake said in his interview, Magnolia Independent was able to reach out to more people, even outside of Mississippi. He says that the…
