One of the largest on going issues dealing with the injustice that is the current NCAA rule system is the limited spreading of wealth/profit within the institutions. This can be seen in the tremendous profits schools make yearly due to their athletic programs. Where the problem/injustice comes into play here is in how the colleges/institutions are able to get away with not spreading their wealth/profits to those have earned compensation. I believe this is a direct result to the rule system in…

One of the biggest questions in sports is if college athletes deserved to be paid or not. Many people view student athletes competing in the NCAA as professional athletes and athletes in every other league receive money. While, others have a different opinion.
