Understanding these two forms of interaction is extremely important in understanding the baseball community.

I think it would great for college athletes in the NCAA football video game to receive compensation from the game because the colleges shouldn’t be the only ones benefiting from the game. There are athletes that get injured playing college football and their careers are done, so I feel it would nice for athletes to receive something from playing the game of football, especially after college.

The Ohio State Football teams annual cost is $34,026,871 while the whole university annual budget is $5.7 Billon (). Just the football team is .59% of all the budget, even though this seems like a very minimal number it is quite huge mathematically.

College sports were originally started to give the school some spirit. It’s the same with high school, it was there to give the kids something to do and give the other kids something to believe in. But, as time has progressed, college sports have taken a completely different path than high school.

Although some people do not believe student athletes deserve the recognition of being employees, others know they should because these students fall under the title employee from the requirements placed by the Fair Labor Standards Act.
