After putting some thought into my persuasive re-visioning project I have decided to write. My task was trying to come up with another avenue to complete this project so I figured writing would be the way to go for me. I would love to get my idea put into a bigger project to help persuade other people to feel the way that I feel. The issue of paying college athletes is important to me as I feel there are many college athletes that need the help. This is a highly debated topic for college sports fans and most fans focus on the idea that these athletes are taken care of and that the ones in the big money sports such as basketball, football, and maybe baseball will make a ton of money so why should we help them. I feel that people miss the point …show more content…

These people are the ones who drive the sport and bring in all of the revenue for this sport. I could see my project being written in a sports magazines and seen or heard on sports talk shows on the TV or the radio. If enough fans got together and made the decision to stop watching these events on TV or going to the events in person this issue would be heard.

These days information moves so quickly and someone’s words or message can reach many by posting something online. I have a feeling that this might be a good option because if I could design it in a way where my message about paying players might hit the right notes and get people on the same view as mine. Most of the audience, I would be speaking to use social media and are adept at seeing and sharing people’s idea and views via this medium. If I didn’t have the money to pump my message via magazines, TV, and the radio then I would use social

Because money corrupts, student-athletes shouldn 't expect it or want it and should simply play their game out of love...whilst providing entertainment to the masses and technically earning millions of dollars for TV networks, colleges and the NCAA. While one could argue overly the ludicrous and truly unethical contradictions of the argument "play for free, play for purity," that would dignify the belief that student pensions are the only answer to the current system; which is not true. There are countless flaws with the current system and just as many solutions, only one of which involves universities handing out a biweekly check to their

College is a place for students to obtain a college degree and help them to get ahead on their “real world” careers.
