In Master Harold ...and the boys, Sam invites hally and willie to imagine lives transformed by courageously hopeful vision, but while willie eventually embraces that vision, the play ends sadly when hally condemns himself to hopeless cynicism when he repeatedly rejects this invitation and uses his imagination to defend himself against hope and to bruise others with his cynical pictures of a broken world. In "Master Harold"...and the boys we see Sam’s imagination and his strive to spread his…

March Madness is much better than the NBA Playoffs. There is many different reasons of why the March Madness exceeds. The tournament brings us fun, dramatic endings, and great competition. There is none of this in the NBA Playoffs. Yes, the NBA is the next step from college, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is better to watch. In the NBA there are super teams that, such as the Warriors, but not in the NCAA, any team could beat any team. To begin, March is a crazy and fun month. March…

be getting paid for what they do? That itself is a million dollar question. For the purpose of this paper, I am going to focus on division one basketball players. It’s really an opinionated topic. A lot of people think that they should be paid and a lot of people believe that they should not be paid. The NCAA has plenty of money to pay division one basketball players and these players have plenty of reasons why they should be getting paid. They train harder than any average person will…

Should College Athletes Be Compensated? (Social & Scientific) For over 100 years, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has been known for their excellent and intense college sports programs. Now, in 2014, the NCAA earns themselves revenue of approximately $912.8 million dollars. A deal with CBS regarding television rights accounts for well over half of the money, about 81% of it. With the money, the NCAA pays for scholarships, educational opportunities, and distributes the money…

The God given talent an athlete possesses is a key component to the amount of success they will achieve throughout their career. Talent is what separates a good player from a bench player. LeBron James can be considered as the best professional basketball player of recent years. He is a 3x NBA Champion along with 3 NBA Finals MVP awards, 4x Most Valuable Player, 12x NBA…

1098 Victories, A Couple of Irrelevant Losses, and a Life in Perspective: "The clearest insights I've ever heard about winning and losing come from my friend Pat Summitt, retired with 1,098 career victories, most of any college basketball coach of either gender. She was a huge confronter, not in an accusatory, finger-pointing way, simply a brutally frank assessor of her weaknesses. She had to analyze the loss before she could sleep - and sometimes that meant not sleeping for 48 hours…

Twenty-two points, six rebounds, and three assists are the stats of Shabazz Napier, star point guard for the University of Connecticut's basketball team. Napier has just won the NCAA championship game and receives the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. Because of this, Napier has become somewhat of a poster boy for the NCAA. Thus, the media will be rushing to hear his now valued opinion. When being interviewed about a week after the game, Napier says that there are "hungry nights where I'm not…

Beyond Basketball “You should never stop learning to own words. There are always more words, deeper meanings, and more stories to go with those words. Each time I witness one of these words in action, I come to own it more completely.” stated Mike Krzyzewski, known to many as Coach K. There are multiple words that can be used to explain plentiful situations in life, whether on or off of the basketball court. Some of those words, that do not seem to be right for the position that they are put in,…

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 basketball. These student athletes…
