continues to not pay the players then more eyebrows will be raised due to the fact that universities bring in so much revenue from their athletic teams. This issue will always be highly argued due to the fact that so many people are involved. When you have a job you get paid, and if you happen to get injured on the job you get workers compensation, right? College athletics is a job, but if you get hurt they can’t do anything about it, even if the injury is a life-threatening one. This results in…

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, regulates various conferences and athletes within their affiliated leagues. The NCAA considers itself as a non-profit organization, yet the company runs very similar to a business. The NCAA has reportedly generated “over $11 billion in annual revenues” (Benedykciuk 2). Two of the most marketable sports, football and basketball, generate the most revenue based on viewership and advertisements. The athletes whom share a large part in…

The National Collegiate Athletic Association also know as the NCAA is a multi-billion dollar business that controls just about everything in college sports. A question asked over and over again when talking about college sports is, where does that money go that the NCAA makes from games and merchandise? According to the NCAA, the money they make goes into the scholarships the school 's offers, stadium upgrades, gear the athletes have, and getting the best coaches to get them into the…

they have to wait until the day of the draft. Some may have to wait even longer. If an athlete does not get drafted then they have no job, no source of income, and no way to earn a living because all they were worried about during college was their athletics. If the college pays them $5,000 a year that leaves them with a minimum of $20,000 after graduation. At Least then they can afford an apartment until they can find a source of income. With the way it is now they are setting the athletes who…

is extraordinarily important that these problems are addressed and solved in the near future to ensure the survival of college sports. Players are not being treated fairly, and they will not be content forever. Colleges and the National Collegiate Athletic Association must answer for themselves this question: are they are willing to lose their lucrative sports over a relatively insignificant amount of…

College players receive an athletic scholarship which pays for the education, but nothing else. The majority of football and basketball players can not afford food, and some can’t even afford college. Getting a full scholarship is undoubtedly a very valuable opportunity for the players to have a fantastic education, but many division one student athletes go for sports rather than education. Once the athlete is on campus, the students receive one meal a day that is included from the NCAA but that…

seek compensation for services that are valuable”. For over 100 years the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has been the breeding grounds for the mistreatment and violation of rights for those who are considered to be “student athletes”.

I’m going to write on the opportunity costs about playing a sport in college. I play basketball and as you probably know it takes up much of your time, usually about six or seven months out of the nine we are in school.
