Should College Athletes Be Paid?
With so much money in the NCAA how can a University not give the athletes compensation for bringing in all the revenue, yes you are probably thinking that they get scholarships for the sport which is just like getting money but, most of the time the scholarships the athlete will receive is not enough to pay for college and will only hurt them in the long run. Most athletes end up being worth more than the college tuition and room and board. In Division 1 football programs the 15 highest paid coaches are making 53.4 million dollars, and the athletes that do most of the work do not see a dollar out of it or it becomes one of the biggest problems in the NCAA, under table pay-offs. All of these things can be fixed very easily by allowing college coaches and the universities to give some of their players a little compensation for all that they have done for that college program. don’t you think it is time we look into helping out these players, who end up giving 50 hours a week for their sport, on top of having class. It is one of the hardest things to do, on average a day in a college football players life consist of him waking up at 5:30 in the morning working out, then a practice shortly followed by a couple classes then back to practice. That ends up being pretty rigorous, so when will these kids find time to try and find a job to pay back these huge student loans, probably never, lets pay these student athletes, it can only help.
