on our team and after practice we eat dinner, but just the guys on scholarship. It sounds really harsh but that is how the NCAA rulebook is set up. Do I think it is fair? Of course not these guys put in the same amount of work as we do. Paying student athletes would really benefit people like this who are already paying for school while playing football. Another common problem I come across is whenever we get a chance to go home some players just can’t because they don’t have money to get back.…

But, is a scholarship a fair way to compensate these students for their service to the university? This topic has piqued my interest because of the dedication I have to sports and education.

millions of off student athletes. Offering a student athlete a full ride scholarship is good. However it's not unique. It also shouldn't replace stipends. Numerous programs cover the cost of college for students. Critics don't criticize the participants. But they do criticize athletes for…

centers around the true value of college athletes and whether or not a scholarship is truly enough to keep the athletes in school and ensure they get their degrees. Many athletes in Division I sports, primarily basketball and Football Bowl Subdivision college football see college as a stepping stone to either the NFL or the NBA. The NCAA tracks the graduation rates in these sports via the GSR, or Graduation Success Rate, which measures the amount of student-athletes that graduate within six…

When an athlete encounters a trauma to the head they may have symptoms such as behavioral changes, mood disturbances, and even cognitive difficulties like paying attention or having difficulty making a judgement. Concussions should be taken seriously due to the risks that the athletes are facing. Allowing an athlete to resume their activity while having a head injury is a poor decision because the athlete already has encountered brain damage and it…

Paying Student Athletes Success isn’t given. It's earned. On the track, on the field, in the gym. With blood, sweat, and the occasional tear. Most every athlete loves the game, and is willing to work their butt off, from being on the B team going to the A team, from jv to varsity, from high school to college.
