job when they play their sport. The NCAA allows athletes to work, but the time demands of their sports make that virtually impossible, even in their off-season. “I would try to find a way to compensate players for their time.” -Shane Battier, (former Duke basketball star) If these players fail in their quest to turn pro, their life is basically over. Their dreams have been crushed. Now, some don’t even have money from a part-time job to live off of. “Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith…

Baseball and boxing were huge, while football and golf were growing. Back in the 50s was a good time for sports because some of the best players were alive during this time such as: Rocky Marciano and Floyd Patterson for boxing; Duke Snider, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays for baseball; and for a little background on football: pro football’s popularity skyrocketed during the 1950s. Much of the nationwide interest was the result of exposure through television. In 1951, the NFL’s championship…

The relocation would clearly impact the ACC, which created the legislation. The NBA has changed its All-Star Game by moving it away from Charlotte in the past week out of hostile response to the heated law House Bill 2, but the ACC commissioner named John Swofford mentioned at his conventions there is no speedy proposal to shadowing the suit with the league’s football championship game.

article “Coach Knight: The Will to Win”, I believe firing Bob Knight was the right decision although Bob Knight led the Indiana Hoosiers to 3 national championships and number of Knight’s former players have gone on to coach in college (such as Mike Krzyzewski of Duke University) and in the NBA. Coach Knight’s leadership style was intimidating and abusive which instilled fear and discomfort among many of his students and other people around him. This created a negative atmosphere and affected…

I believe that NCAA has it right already. College athletes should not be paid to play. They go to college for and education and paid tuition. If college athletes get paid, then they won’t just focus on the game. They will worry about the money and when their getting paid.

In the article, The Shirley Povich Center for Sports…
