College Athletes Should Not Be Paid

By embedding the pro-con list into his article, the author bring to light the things people do not think of when making an argument for or against college athletes getting compensated for their work. Malcolm makes strong assumptions that if players are paid than they will not play as hard as before and he brings up numerous questions surrounding the whole debacle such as “Will each player receive the same amount? “ “How would players be compensated?” and “ Will this cause problems or envy between teammates that would potentially make more money?”(Lemmons).

What amount of money should college athletes be paid? This has been a controversial question for many years.Some lower level Division One NCAA athletes think that their scholarships do not pay them enough as it is, and instead they want cash rather than the scholarship. These situations have been taken to court and arbitrated in NCAA hearings. The NCAA, or the National College Athletics Association, has declined for the athletes to be paid a salary every time when they surmise that they should. There are so many reasons why the NCAA has declined for these athletes to be paid and have proven to be naive. The NCAA should not be conciliatory on

Con Paragraph-College athletes shouldn’t get paid.I’m making this statement that they shouldn’t get paid because some people just play for the love of the game.For example,if I was going into college to play for a great team I wouldn't need money.I mean if you're going to play for a great team, you already know you're going to win a lot of games. If you're going to win a lot of games then you'll be having fun and being happy, and money doesn’t give you happiness.Another thing is,say you and your team went undefeated,would you really be that ungrateful and ask for money.So if you or anybody you know become o professional athlete,think twice before asking for money and think of how ungrateful it

College sports specifically basketball and football are the most electrifying sports in America. When it comes to March Madness or bowl games america goes nuts it’s as if a preview of the super bowl or NBA championship begun. Head coaches are well paid at the college level where students are given the burden of meeting academic standards and elevate their “game”.

Dribble, Dribble, Swish Jimmy with the 3.This Essay is about College Athletes are not being treated fair after all their hard work of going to games across their state and country and not getting paid for it, and some of them are not so smart all they know and think about in College is their sport that they are in.College Athletes are not children they are grown ups and grown ups need cash to live.

“ Let’s go,” are the sounds of crazy fans at the NCAA March Madness event with fans yelling and cheering nonstop. You can feel the adrenaline rush and it feels like a real NBA basketball game. The stage is big and the atmosphere is unbelievable. As the players come out, you can see how they feel that all their effort and time has been leading up to this incredible moment. They all seem like professionals, but wait, these athletes do not get paid. The NCAA does not pay athletes no matter how good or bad they are. I believe the NCAA should pay them because college sports are their full time job and the media will overall benefit colleges and strike the players.

The dispute about whether college athletes should be paid or not is a continuing argument that will continue to make people bump heads for many years to come. Many people believe that it's truly unfair for college athletes to bring revenue for their college and not receive any percentage of the revenue. For example, many athletes and fellow spectators believe that jersey sales should go back to the athlete that represents the jersey. However, there are many questions to be answered and I believe college athletes should not be paid more than they already are.

College athletes should be paid. The athletes put in as much work as the people who do get paid. Why should they not be paid? There are many pros for why they should get paid, but there are also many cons on why they should not get paid. The athletes should get paid because of how hard they work in season and the off-season. Do not pay all of the athletes, but pay the ones who are at a D1 college. The athletes should get paid because they put in the same amount of time as the pros do, and the pros get paid.

One of the biggest questions concerning college sports is not about who has the best recruiting class, or where the best coach is headed after their contract ends. The biggest question in NCAA sports is whether collegiant athletes should be paid by their university or not. College athletes have never been legally paid, and that needs to come to an end. NCAA athletes give us outstanding performances, creating memories and leaving their names in a historical manner. Yet, at the same time they are barely able to make it by day to day.

The competition to be the best in a sport has been going on for nearly a hundred years, and that includes college sports. The difficulty of paying college athletes and still having fair competition has been a truly sticky situation. “Athletes during the early and mid 1900s were routinely recruited and paid to play; and there were several mistakes where individuals representing schools were not enrolled as students… in 1948, the NCAA adopted a ‘Sanity Code’ that limited financial athletes to tuition and fees and required that aid otherwise be given based on need” (Acquaviva, Johnson 1). There is a lot of ‘under the radar’ activity that goes on with colleges because some will do whatever it takes to have an advantage. This all has led to the debate, should college athletes be paid?

Imagine working a full time job with your family to take care of but you spend more time

No one expects somebody to work two fulltime jobs and not get paid for it. Nobody would think it would be fair to work so hard and not receive any form of compensation. This is exactly what is happening to student athletes. Student athletes are not only fulltime students, but also are fulltime athletes. There are two very decisive sides to this argument. On one side the NCAA claims that the student athletes are amateurs and cannot be paid. They also claim they are paid in other ways such as a full ride scholarship to a top level education. The other side of the argument states that the work load of a fulltime student and a fulltime athlete is almost unmanageable and the NCAA is making millions off of their work and sweat. This is an issue

Joe Posnanski, a sports journalist and former columnist for Sports Illustrated, weighed in on the controversial issue of college athletes receiving money as a service of their play. “College Athletes Should Not Be Paid” published 2011 from the Norton Sampler starts off by introducing one of his main arguments that “College athletics are not about the players” (Posnanski 585) but instead are about the alumni and the colleges themselves that people support. If player on a team left and made their own team would that colleges alumni now support their semi-pro team, no chance. College Supporters love the youthful feeling and the how close they feel too it. He shows how big time college athletes do get paid in tuition, room and board, food,

Many others believe that college students should be paid. Athletes bring their schools money (Nocera et al.1). Therefore, many believe that the students should get some of the money that they help bring in. Players are part of the labor source and get nothing. There is no other industry where labor gets nothing. (Nocera et al.1). It is only fair if athletes get paid too. Athletes work hard to do what they do but do not get

College athletes are finally getting attention on the fact that they are not paid. I believe that whether or not it is college or pro sports they deserve a salary. These players put their heart and soul on the field and get nothing in return. In the articles “Athletes New Day” by Paul Marx and “College Athletes Should Not Be Paid” by Warren Hartenstine, the reasons for college athletes to be paid are very evident. No matter the case, if the students move on to pro sports or not after college, they should be entitled to some pay for their contributions. College athletes deserve to be compensated for their playtime in these sports, sales of products with their name on it, and even compensation for their injuries.
