National Collegiate Athletic Association

The opposite side has their own opinion about the situation. “Student-athletes are amateurs who choose to participate in intercollegiate athletics as part of their educational experience, thus maintaining a distinction between student-athletes who participate in the collegiate model and professional athletes who might be students as well. Participation in collegiate sports is not a student-athlete’s job. His or her ability to compete is contingent upon continued enrollment and academic…

In 1910, an association called the NCAA, or the National Collegiate Athletic Association was founded. The NCAA is an association dealing with college athletes. It “regulates athletes of 1,281 institutions, conferences, organizations, and individuals,” according to Wikipedia. College athletics have been around for a long time, over a hundred years. That’s crazy to think. But the people who make these athletics possible is the athletes themselves. Without them, the college athletics would be…

too. College athletes have the problem where they do not get paid to play the sport. This is a big problem because the athletes in college do the same work as pros in the league and put their bodies on the line. For example, in the National Collegiate Athletic Association or the NCAA, athletes have to train hard every day, and play games every day and they do not get paid for it, while the NBA does: In the 2013 NCAA tournament Louisville player Kevin Ware suffered a horrific injury to his lower…

Every year across the United States, thousands of high school athletes sign the National Collegiate Athletic Association 's Form 08-3a, otherwise, the student-athlete form that waives their right to receive payment for the use of their name and likeness. Just like college students, student athletes work hard and devote their time to their classes. However, not only do student athletes have to keep their grades up to stay eligible to play, they also spend additional training and practicing to win…

Why Should Student Athletes Be Paid To Play Blood, sweat, and tears; competitively, these collegiate athletes give and leave it all in their various domains of athleticism, for our enjoyment and in many cases the prosperity of their respective Alma-marters. But, now the question arises, to pay or not to pay? That is the question. These student athletes just about put in the same amount of time as the professionals. They seemingly put forth the same effort if not more. And the definitely share…

Memorabilia In American colleges and universities, student athletes spend many hours in strengthening and conditioning, practicing, and competing in their sports of choice. In return, some of them have the benefit of attending college by way of athletic scholarships. However, some do not have scholarship opportunities and have to meet college expenses in other ways. In my opinion, college athletes should definitely be paid for playing time and autographed sports memorabilia as a way to help…

piece, I will present the evidence to support my observations. First, considering the feminist theory, I have found that the gender inequality gap widens as the progression is made from high school, to college and to professional sports and athletics. The National…

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…

Over the past couple decades, college athletics have increased their popularity tremendously. The increase in popularity has led to a surplus of revenue brought to each of the Universities and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). Last year Oregon had a revenue of $196,030,398 and not a single player was compensated for the work they did on those sports teams (Berkowitz para. 1). The fact that these sports have been the cause of the increase in revenue has raised the question…

a lot of money from sports, but the athletes themselves saw little or none of it. The situation is infuriating to athletes and one is doing something about it. Ramogi Huma is a former linebacker for UCLA who has organized a group called Collegiate Athletes Coalition (Davis 46). It is the aim of the CAC to…
