Logos. This point in particular is quite a compelling observation. “The days of four-year players at UTA are mostly in the past. Only one men’s basketball team player has played for four years with the program. None of the women’s basketball players have been on the team for more than three years.” This point made by Applet shows the true number of students that are transferring while making it clear and concise for readers to understand. Applet shows the perspective of college athletes on education is ever shifting, and now with the considerable amounts of NIL deals being produced, it has become quite distracting and has led to an excessive number of students transferring schools. Applet also discusses how athletes need to stay level-headed while the college sports world is becoming this “ever-changing landscape” defining how to stay focused and not get too wrapped up in the NIL deal and incentive opportunities. Applet focuses on using logic and reasoning in this section, showing how transferring schools has become somewhat of a persuasive trend by using the example of discussing the dwindling number of four-year players at

American Sociologist, Jonathan R. Cole, in his article, “Why Sports and Elite Academics Do Not Mix,” (2017), argues that highly selective colleges should withdraw from the NCAA to form their own league because these universities are not attempting to create national championship programs. He supports his claim by first describing the revenue that the NCAA receives from monopolizing college sports teams, then explains that these NCAA athletes are involved in scandalous interests due to their lack of quality education and leadership, then reveals the extent a college will go to ensure their athletes can participate in the NCAA, and finally imparts the deprivation that these universities have with diversity of their student’s talents. Cole’s purpose

In “Athletes and Education” Neil H. Petrie argues that many student athletes are not given equal opportunities to succeed in school. Neil supports his argument with his prior experiences in his career as a professor and student. Therefore, he has seen student athlete’s education successes from more than one angle. In his opinion, many student athletes get used for athletic programs and they simply don’t have enough time or energy to put into their education. By the time their athletic career is at a turning point of going pro or being done, the athletes that don’t go pro are left with a poor education.

It would have been nice to get into the financial side of this subject, like for example how much money exactly the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A) and all the universities profit from the athletes, contracts with companies, and anything else that brings in money. I think Cooper does a great job of offering new evidence and writing more about the legal side of things, because people cannot argue against it and it rules out any opinion. One thing that I would like to be answered is just how many hours’ student-athletes spend training and traveling for sporting events, and if that could potentially be hurting their academic career. Another thing that I would like to be answered is if there have been previous attempts to take a case like this to court. I think that this article could have

Before NIL, student-athletes were driven by the fortunate opportunity to play college sports and be able to receive a beneficial education, whereas now these student-athletes are driven by what will offer them the biggest immediate profit. While having that be a main focus, it can disrupt the team dynamic, leading to other problems. According to an article written by Natalie Welch, Assistant Professor at Seattle University, “This money is not supposed to be an inducement or a tool used for recruiting, but it’s obviously impacting potential students when they see what other students are getting at certain institutions.” These potential and current students now have to deal with what deals they can make and how profitable they can be. With the heavy influence of NIL and collectives, the definition of recruiting has changed.

As a result, many athletes and their parents have a false sense of reality when it comes to transferring. However, that perfect scenario that people expect before entering the portal rarely happens as “less than half (49%) of athletes that entered the transfer portal from 2020-21 found a new NCAA school” (Brockway,

Since the 2017 conclusion of this investigation, UNC has supposedly done a better job of ensuring that something like this never happens again. However, the appeal to student athletes of UNC being a place to get a good education and good athletic programs is nowhere near as strong as it once was. Another important aspect is the broken trust that now exists between the university and its student athletes and their parents. These student athletes now must consider whether their school truly cares about what is best for their future, and the parents now live with the fear that their child might leave the university with a meaningless degree. Trying to take advantage of the system, UNC suffered from the double-edged sword of caring so much about athletic performance that they ignored academic performance by their student athletes.

Amateurism in college athletics is an exploitation of the athletes who participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sports. The amount of work that is done by these athletes to help their respective institutions generate millions of dollars in revenue, goes seemingly unnoticed when identifying the substantial amount of money flow in NCAA sports and the amount of people, from stakeholders to alumni, that benefit from this source. Amateurism, the foundation of NCAA sports, has been in place for over a century of time dating back to the early 1900s. Any athlete who is making money for work they’ve done outside of their institution is not being exploited, however, an athlete can easily be placed on the other end of the spectrum when he or she is withheld from recognizing the true monetary value of their talents and likeness that are being used for the profit of the school or others. The NCAA is understandably satisfied with the continuous growth of its’ revenue each year, yet the problem they face of having people accept that “student-athletes” are just amateurs is growing as well.

Hence, it is the student-athlete who gets caught up in the middle and is the one punished due to the selfish desires of adults.
