(Smith, Ronald) The people who are most affected by the atrocities preformed by the NCAA are the players. Every higher up in the NCAA, from the coaches to the president of the NCAA get paid boatloads of money. These people coaches, athletic directors, athletic trainers, everyone involved are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and at the big time schools millions.

Adam Anderson Ms. Zeman English 2 6 April 2017 Rough Draft The National College Athletics Association earns more than a billion dollars a year and does basically nothing with it and nobody know why. They should be paying hard working college athletes. The National College Athletics Association should pay college athletes because players in the NBA are being paid. They’re almost at the pro level, they put in a lot of effort into their games, they are loyal to their team, they play sports instead
financially stable when all their time is spent on athletics or academics with no time at all work. This is why the NCAA should find a way to compensate these same student athletes for their time and increase graduation rates. Instead of punishing student athletes who are trying to find a way to support themselves by accepting money from school boosters, the schools should try to help the students. BACKGROUND The NCAA or National Collegiate Athletic Association is approaching a billion dollar market value
dollar a year empire, in which coaches, executives, school presidents, board members, athletic trainers, athletic directors, equipment managers, Waterboys, towel boys, ball boys, and even team mascots all receive a chunk of the revenue. Everyone gets paid except the athletes, who don’t receive a dime of the money. That’s because it’s against NCAA rules to pay college athletes with anything other than an athletic scholarship; anything else, and it’s deemed as an improper benefit, thus making an athlete
believe that the money generated from the sports played by these kids should be given back to them as they are the ones drawing the fans to these events. However few realize how little schools actually gain money by participating in the National Colligate Athletics Association. A recent study conducted by USA today showed that there are only 40 schools that consistently turn profits from the sports that they host.

athletes are undoubtedly some of the hardest working people in the world. Not only are they living the life of an average student, they also have a strenuous schedule with their specific sport.

There is currently a major issue in today’s college athletics. Universities and the NCAA make billions of dollars while some student-athletes go hungry. There is a huge debate over whether or not student-athletes should be paid as employees of their respective colleges. Personally, I don’t believe players should receive full-time salaries, but Universities and the NCAA should be required to increase the value of the scholarships that they award to student-athletes.

I agree with an article by USA today that “scholarship money, about $40,000 a year depending on the school, is ample exchange for athletic services.” If athletes do get compensated the athletic programs in schools will be changed for the worse. The primary goal of colleges and universities should be to provide education; therefor, student athletes should not be compensated for their sport and to instead be content
College athletes should be paid because of the hard work, dedication and effort they put into their respective sports. These athletes are a major source of income for their schools and they are not receiving a penny for it. These college athletes deserved to be paid, colleges are using these athletes to get money and they are never given anything but a pat on the back and a good job. College athletes work and train extremely hard to perform at the highest level possible. In most cases, they spend
