should partake of it. This paper will show why college athletes should remain unpaid while still playing sports at the collegiate level. The amounts of money athletics bring to their universities and the NCAA is unreal. The…

Price Given the intangibility of education services it is important for Victoria University to maximise their perceived value. The price of fees, cost of living and the ability to offset costs through part time work are the main price considerations before students decide to study abroad. The research included in this report on Thailand shows there were over 24,000 Thai students who studied overseas in 2012 and only 2% studied in New Zealand.

With coaches making upwards of $7 million dollars a year and television ratings for its game coverage skyrocketing, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has had its fair share of good times in the 21st century. The association has also had its worst times as well, “the NCAA has never been more vulnerable and on the defensive with regards to it policies and practices, especially its reliance on the age-old characterization of college athletes as “amateurs” who are first and…

Being a senior last year, I had to start thinking about where I wanted to go to college. When looking into colleges I also had to look into the tuition prices because I knew that I did not have the funds to pay for college on my own. With going into my fall semester at GGC I only had the money that FASFA had granted be to pay for college and I had not started working yet. Since I did not have money saved up I did not take as many classes as I wanted to. My mom’s friend told me about how her son…

My decision to return to college was purely random. There was no pondering over the decision; no weighing in the pros and cons, no thinking it through or any real thought behind it. I literally woke up one morning and said to myself “I think I’ll go back to college” and I made the call. I called the College of New Rochelle and made the appointment for the admissions test. And before I knew what was actually happening, I was a matriculated college student. Now let’s back up a little to a time…

A third area that funding is being directed to is athletic facilities and coaches’ salaries. Money is often spent on new practice facilities and locker rooms so that colleges can increase recruiting efforts. When colleges are able to acquire good players for their athletic teams they can increase revenue generated at the games. The problem is that the revenue generated doesn’t go back into the university’s system to fund education. The money instead goes to coaches’ salaries and bonuses along…
