colleges only offer scholarships to students who have a 30 or above on the act;And almost all universities only offer a full unpaid scholarship if you have a 34 or above on the act and were either valedictorian or salutatorian,but yet most high school football players get full scholarships from universities even though they only have a 2.5 GPA below and they do not even meet the requirements but they get to go to college for free.This is why I want to research How much scholarship money should…

Sports! College! College Sports! What’s not to love about it. Well, there’s the fact that your favorite player isn’t paid. There’s a reason.

The world of men’s college athletics is intense; full of testosterone infused, ultra-competitive athletes and corrupt coaches all vying for a spot in the nation’s biggest championships. So what does this amount to? A friendly bunch of folks all participating in games for the fun of it? While this might be the case for few, the majority of college athletics is much more complex than that. It is a billion dollar business, fueled by a few thousand young men with the carrot of their lifelong…

The Calvin Knights football team has been undefeated since 1879. How is this spectacular feat possible? It has to do with the fact that Calvin does not actually have a football team. And I for one, believe it should stay that way. Despite the many sports fans at Calvin who crave one of America’s favorite past times, the school has yet to assemble a team. Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

Day in the life of an Assistant Athletic Director When going into work there are several things an assistant athletic director has to do each and every day. Some things people know about, but there are also some things people don’t know that the assistant athletic director is doing. This job has a very important role to the flow of things when it comes to athletics. Without an assistant director, that would just put too much work on the head director. With this, “The head director can focus more…

My name is Orenthal Stallings Jr and I want to talk about a day that I will never forget. I want to tell you about the day I bought a video game. I saw the game advertised on the Play Station Network and I was very interested. Madden National Football League 16 was the game I bought. It was new and exciting! At first, I played it alone. I hoped to play it with some friends at home later, and with gamers on the World Wide Web. After I heard about the game and the release date I became…

I was doing so well in school, my grandmother wanted to reward me with, something she knew I would like to do and she knew I loved football. That morning my grandmother was standing in the door with something behind her back smiling. Taking it from behind her back, she said “these are tickets to a football game “, and handed them to me. I was so happy because football was my favorite sport and I always wanted to see a live game. I couldn’t wait until tonight when the real fun starts. I…

Work But No Pay? Hard work but no pay? If a hard day's work is put in, shouldn't it receive a good pay or at least some pay, especially if it is a high risk job? This is what NCAA players face they put hard risky work in and see no pay even if there names are used. NCAA athletes have a privilege of going to school. But, these athletes have their names and faces used. Also, these athletes put in so much hard work it prevents them from getting a job. There have been many injuries that have…

Alex Rodriguez, a former New York Yankees baseball player made almost $22 million a season as of 2004. The amount of money professional athletes make is insane! They are not financially responsible enough to make this much money, and other careers deserve more money. To start off, other professions deserve more money. One reason why other professions deserve more money is because Peyton Manning made more money in one season than an average worker makes in their lifetime. Also, athletes make…

loser. But there is one business that is unmatched in its disparity between winners and loser, and that is the business of college football. The last time this country saw such a wide gap between people benefiting from a business while others suffered was back in the 1920s when we did not have labor laws and employers could pay workers next to nothing. But college football is even worse than that because universities pay absolutely nothing to their stars on the field while they poll in millions…
