College Athletes Get Paid

Why don't college athlete get paid? Many people say they should others say elsewise. I'm aganist for paying college athletes. College atheltic programs can't afford to pay athletes. Playing college sports is a privilege. The NCAA is a nonprofit organization. Students are not professionals which most people need to know. Paying college athletes to play would ruin college sports. Another thing is there is not a fair way to pay college athletes. Paying students athletes will cause cuts elsewhere in the athletic department. College students are financially irresponsible. Most elite college students get sports scholarship, which is payment enough for them. Schooled; The price of college sports is a documentary that vitamin how college sports in

I'm sure a lot of other schools do this to their athletes all the time, because why would you not have your five star player be on the field where everyone paid tickets to see them play. Everyone school has there reason why they do it and its simple why they do it; because they do not want the athletic program to lose money. What I mean by losing money is if the five star athletes do not start or dont not play, are people going to see your school play? No. Also they will lose a lot of revenue because they aren't coming to the stadium to watch them or buying all the appeal they would sell if all these 5 five star players were playing.

In the U.S. News and World report Andrew Zimbalist provides a definition of amateur as " someone who engages in the activity for fun, not remuneration. According to Zimbalist in 1973 the NCAA altered scholarships term so that they needed to be renewed each year.

Many will say that the student athletes are already compensated with a college education. The idea that an education is worth to a player what a professional salary would seem to be a naive view. According to Kahn study, 2005 a draft ready football player is only with 495,000 and a draft ready basketball player is worth 1.4 million to the NCAA respectively. This means that the scholarship value near the player worth to the school. (Should college athletes be paid: The Shirley povich center for sports
