Summary: Should College Players Get Paid
Did you know that college sports player’s don't get paid for their withstand style of play. Also, they are playing on TV. What I don't get is what's so different from NFL from college football there both on tv right? College Player are not different from others so why don't they get money. Yes I get their younger than paid sports players, but they don't get paid!!??? These College players are hard workers. They get their hard effort into the hard things they need to get done. I agree with this article because college players seem like they aren't hard working, or good enough. People that aren't getting the money they should be getting, is cruel. Just because they're not in the NFL or the or the USMNT, Or NBA doesn't mean they can't be paid for their withstanding play. Also I agree because there should not be an issue of fairness because people should be treated the same …show more content…
Yes there are reasons why they shouldn't get paid. One reason is the school is already paying for their college. Also because they might not always be doing their best. Lastly Scouters may be looking at how you play and you might be on the Denver Broncos, USA women's Soccer Team or the Denver Nuggets.
The side I agree with is pros, which means yes college athletes should get paid. I think this because they should get the money the need. I say this because college athletes will have to do two things, And it may come to having to leave your sport activity early or quitting the job, And do you really want to do any of those? Also because they maybe have a family to take care of and they can't do it without money right? Maybe even have a family member that's hurt/ dieing/ or even dead. And you have to go to the funeral or go help them and see if they're doing ok.
I liked this debate because it was fun and competitive. In conclusion, this is why I pick the pro

    but this favoritism does occur and it isn’t fair. If the college football players were paid they would be perceived as even more privileged even further by their peers, treated even more differently, and would also put forth less effort in the class room. This would add on to the perception that there is favoritism towards college football players and it would be justified getting paid to not take class…

    Some people argue that college football players shouldn’t be paid because they get scholarships. Chris Burnette thought that getting a scholarship would be more than enough, but after his sophomore year he realized it wasn’t much. There is also the threat of losing the scholarship if you aren’t performing to the liking of the coach. It is also possible to lose a scholarship by getting injured, something the player has no control over.…

    Classes. Game time. Stress. College athletes have a plentiful amount on their plate. Not knowing where money would come from adds more on top of school and sports. Paying athletes would eliminate stress. The NCAA refuses to pay athletes, but it’s not that they don’t have money. They have billions of dollars off of capitalizing, ticket sales, and team winnings. So why don’t they pay players? College athletes should get paid because their sports are jobs, paying would make sports more competitive, and people capitalizing off college names while players still get nothing.…

    Money gives food, money gives water, money gives life, but money is not given to collegiate football athletes. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, made a billion dollars on the games during March Madness and even after the nets were cut and a champion was crowned not a single player was give any money. Collegiate football players, or any collegiate player for that matter, should be paid for each game based on how hard they work and how dedicated they are to their sport. The athletes are the basis and the main reason the NCAA makes their millions. In addition, it can give these athletes a financial education and better prepare them for their future. Money is the reason people thrive.…

    College football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball, are the money makers as far as collegiate athletics is concerned. Most other programs are actually cash strapped. Therefore, the issue becomes should only football and basketball college athletes be paid? (Patterson, 2016). Also, how would you choose who gets paid what and where does the money come from? Who should pay the athletes the colleges or television networks or does it come from an outside source? In my opinion just like I stated before they should be paid but I do think that it might be hard to accomplish this because what about the students before them and the ones before them. What do they have to say if colleges start paying players and left them out of the…

    In conclusion, they should not get paid part of what they earn in college for three main reasons. One, they don’t need it to prosper or gain anything. Two, after they graduate, they will make so much more in the big leagues than they ever would in college, so it makes up for it. And last but not least, not getting part of the money is a major investment in their future, and it is more beneficial for them to not pocket…

    Paying college football players has been an ongoing debate since the early 1900s. It has been so controversial, because while a majority of athletes believe they should be getting paid, many of the general public, such as students and fans, do not agree. Student athlete compensation was only legal for a few years in the early college athlete days around seventy years ago, and since then it has been illegal. Some student athletes have been bribed by certain schools, and the ones who have accepted these bribes and have gotten caught have been punished by the NCAA. Student athletes should not get paid because they already receive benefits and they are not at the pro-level yet.…
