College athletics are huge in the United States of America; sports on a college campus help bring athletes and the student body closer together. Most states in America do not have a professional sports team and most of the state 's citizens devote themselves to their local sports team by endorsing them and purchasing various things that make them somewhat closer to the team. There is a huge issue on whether college athletes should be paid or should they just remain with the way things are…

Wouldn’t it be great to earn $270 million just to play a simple game? Neymar, along with other professional athletes think so. But do these athletes deserve all of this money? The answer is absolutely not. Professional athletes are paid way too much in a society where salary is suppose to be based on a job’s economic importance. Teaching is one of the most important economical jobs because our future economy relies on it, yet teachers are making a fraction of what professional athletes are…
