College Athletes Should Be Paid
By: Jack Arnold
College athletes, they play on some of the greatest sports channels, including ESPN, ABC, NBC, etc. The popularity is flowing in for these athletes, but the money, not so much. This is The Facts Behind College Athletes Not Getting Paid.
Everyday, college athletes practice their sport or play a competitive game of their sport. This can sometimes interrupt study time for the students, and that might affect their grade. The athletes love playing their sport. They want to play, they want to be seen. There is only one thing that is distracting these athletes from being completely motivated into playing their sport everyday. This thing is not just anything, it gives people a purpose, every college athlete wants it. MONEY!!!$$$
The college athletes work off all their blood, sweat and tears just to have some fun. In fact, the coaches and the NCAA are the ones that are being paid and they’re leaving the students out of the picture. Most college athletes who didn’t go pro have a little bit of money, a decent home, and a normal job. The athletes put love into the game and makes the people all around them happy and excited. It gives these people something to watch during the dreadful quarantine, and for the college athletes not getting paid. It will not put them at full throttle for every game.
According to Thecollegepost.com, “College athletes don’t get paid because the NCAA wants to continue to control the exploitation of these athletes for their own benefit.”
Also, another issue, is the amount of money that these athletes actually have to pay to go to college. And then they get paid no money as a student athlete at the college.
It isn’t like the NCAA is rethinking their decision on not paying the athletes. It would change many of these students' lives to get paid money. A good amount of money can lead to a happy and healthy life. It would mean the world and more to them.
Clearly, college athletes deserve more than they get. All of these facts can backup college athletes. This is The Facts Behind College Athletes Not Getting Paid.

ReplyDeleteThank you AManwith_Aplan. I like the connection you made to liking college sports. They are very entertaining. Also, I don't think certain college athletes should get paid more or less money than others. That would be unfair. Thank you for the comment.

ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know you learned something new. I think the college athletes should get paid a bit less than professional athletes due to them not being at that next level yet.
DeleteI really liked your writing but I have one question, about how many college athletes actually get to go pro.
