I believe that collegiate athletes should get payed for many different reasons. If college level athletes got payed they would most likely stay in school longer.

This law has prevented college athletes from getting paid since the start of college athletics. Since then there have been many…

“In august, a judge ruled that college athletes can be paid. That is seen as a win for college basketball players and football players”.
