Pay for Play in NCAA Sports In the last few years there has been a growing controversy over whether or not college athletes should be paid to play college sports. The sports world is divided on the issue, with the NCAA saying that players should not be paid and players saying that they deserve payment for their work. Below is the argument in favor of paying athletes. Pay players Universities and the NCAA make millions of dollars in cash, donations, exposure for universities. Universities…

One of America’s favorite past times just got a little better in the last few years. Ever since the exclusion of the BCS, or the Bowl Championship Series, college football established a playoff championship series to decide a national champion. This new and interesting championship method started in 2014, with top four teams in the nation, Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, and Ohio State, squaring off in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl to determine who would challenge each other in the National…

A football player makes, at minimum $435,000 a year. That is 99,089 Chicken McNugget Happy Meals from McDonalds. In fact, many professional athletes get paid millions of dollars. Some people think that these athletes are overpaid. Others disagree and sy they deserve the money they receive. People who say they are overpaid argue that nurses and police, people who save lives, don’t get paid that much. Those who disagree say athletes go through grueling practices and games to make their fans, us,…

I feel that athletes should not be paid unless they are part of the large, known teams. They should not be paid the extreme amount of money that they are getting paid right now. I feel that they are playing a game for the entertainment of them and the audience and should not be paid more than the people who protect or have protected our country. Scholarships are enough to pay for college especially when you sign up for as many as you can and get the grants you are eligible for. Generally any job…

Donald Trump Ruins Everything Marialuisa Rincon Donald Trump’s business failures are well documented. As you would expect from a world famous businessman with his fingers in so many pies, some endeavours were bound to fail. However, thanks to his famously big mouth and infinitely bigger ego, Trump ruins everything. Here we explore my five personal favorites: 1. Trump ruined his very own “university.” This is a power trip if ever I’ve seen one. In 2005, Trump founded Trump University—a…

the classroom than non-student athletes (Richards & Aries, 1999). Even with that dedication, student athletes have the same academic standards as well as any additional requirements from the NCAA, university, or personal team.(National Collegiate Athletic 11 Association [NCAA] 2015, p. 4). Students that fail to meet NCAA requirements, they will be ineligible to compete and are at risk of being stripped of any scholarship money. (NCAA, 2015, p. 145). NCAA bylaw 14.1.7.2 states to be eligible to…

The NCAA stands for the National Collegiate Athletic Association and governs hundreds of colleges and thousands of athletes. There has been an ongoing discussion by media, fans and people across America whether student athletes should be getting paid or not. Several incidents have happened in…

BUZZY--UNC PRESENTATION— What we have begun to learn within all of these scandals is that big schools find loopholes for their student-athletes to boost their academics instead of these student-athletes fulfilling their academic requirements on their own. Regardless of what sport you play there are ways around going to class and getting good marks, so that you can focus more of your time towards the athletic side of your student athlete life. The University of North Carolina Chapel-Hill has been…

I think it’s not cool to use PEDs in sports. Even though it has been shown that taking these drugs improves performance. I remember an old Gatorade commercial where it talks about how Gatorade originated with the Florida Gator football team. Toward the end the narrator says” those boys drank that stuff and they became a second-half team.” Gatorade helps with endurance but it’s not a drug. It replaces fluids and electrolytes during physical activity. It’s legal. It doesn’t make you bigger,…

College Football Players are being Paid? Many people struggle bringing money home to their families, and still college football players still get paid. But schools are only paying the football teams and the men's basketball team. What about all of the other teams? Therefor, college football players should not get paid. College football players don’t need to be paid. There are around 85 players on a football team, and each player could see a paycheck of about $250,000 a year. College football…
