Work But No Pay? Hard work but no pay? If a hard day's work is put in, shouldn't it receive a good pay or at least some pay, especially if it is a high risk job?

But there is one business that is unmatched in its disparity between winners and loser, and that is the business of college football. The last time this country saw such a wide gap between people benefiting from a business while others suffered was back in the 1920s when we did not have labor laws and employers could pay workers next…

Athletes, like other students, require the ability to travel to class or home, but because athletes are representing the…
