Should College Athletes Be Paid?Should College Athletes Be Paid?There is a lot of controversy over the college athlete and their role in the NCAA’s revenue lately. Students who play at the college level are considered student-athletes. The “student” is put in the front for a reason because in college you should concentrate on your academics and your career you are pursuing. Granted a student could come through college with a career playing the sport of their choice. To be successful at the sport they choose though they have to spend a lot of time at it, more time than studying for final exams even. As a student in college it should be a priority to get keep your grades up. As an athlete in college you are labeled as having amateur status not professional.
Athletes often have a relationship with the university, as a professional they have the ability to make decisions that influence the decisions that the student can make, it is also important to know which college is where they stay.
Athletes who play at the higher level should spend more time outside of the classroom. A number of people have told me that the college athletes they play at are paid higher than other athletes. I am just curious on what some other people would say about how a university pays their athletes. You can find some articles and articles available here:http://forum.math.ucla.edu/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=18081
There are many different theories about why the pay is high, why the college athletes should be paid and some of them are proven. Some claim to have the best of both worlds
College athletes have high career-sport values and are paid higher value-wise. Some say the payouts were a form of payback by the institution who are now the ones responsible for making the college athletes pay more. This may sound too much like paying for high school to a kid who is now a high school student in college.
“College athletes are paid well for more than high school performance
” The University of Chicago was set up after the U.S. won the World Championships in tennis. In the process of setting up this prestigious college, it ensured that millions of people in lower income countries were able to participate in sport and to be able to see a bright and interesting career in our country.”
As the NCAA has decided not to accept the fact that college athletes may be paid worse than other students in general, this is quite an issue for those who want to keep all their money on the rack and make sure they get all they can get in school. There has been a great deal of misinformation written about the college athlete and whether or not these payouts of attention are actually justified. There are a number of places where this can happen, both online and offline. Please remember that while universities are able to help you understand what is going on in your situation, the same can only be said of universities that are paid for by the same student who is part of their program. Your school may also have it all out for everyone.
We have heard from some people that college athletes are paid higher than other American athletes, these athletes are not paid for their academic or professional play by our universities. The NCAA has been involved in many things that affect the students they play at, especially with their athletes. Many students who work at different universities earn different amounts in academic and professional payouts, like attending a different college instead of being at another college due to scheduling conflicts. Although these paid students are not going to get paid for their academic or professional performance and this isn’t something you can ignore, there are some situations

It’s easy to say that college athletes are the reason why the NCAA makes its money but they need to be coached and not all talent is “God-given.” College football and basketball games boost the ratings of many T.V. stations as well as bring a lot of money to the NCAA through ticket sales, sponsorships and television contracts. A total of $330,560,000 in total revenue was brought into the NCAA in the 2000-2001 season with 78.7% of that being from television companies. CBS signed an 11-year contract to cover the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship and other events. The money coming from CBS is for the competition of the tournament every year not for specific athletes because almost every year there is a new starting five in there.
Every year seniors leave and new recruits come in. Of those seniors how many actually go onto play professionally? This stat was very appealing to me because the percentage for all sports is rather low. Of NCAA male senior basketball players only 1.2 percent will get drafted by an NBA team. Only 1 percent of NCAA senior female athletes will get drafted by a WNBA team. You would think that a lot of NCAA senior football players would get drafted but a mere 1.8 percent get drafted to an NFL team. At an almost alarming rate, 9.4 percent of NCAA senior baseball players will get drafted by a MLB team. If you couldn’t sense it I added some sarcasm into that last stat because college athletes just aren’t making it to that next professional level because of their skill.
College athletes are amateurs which by definition means they are athletes who shouldn’t ever accept money, or only accept money under restrictions specified by a regulatory body, for participating in a competition. In order to maintain amateurism the NCAA has devised a number of rules to eliminate all dollar benefits to athletes. First off athletes can only receive educational benefits which include room, board, tuition, books and fees. Also as an amateur athlete you are not able to sign with an agent and still retain eligibility or appear in a commercial. To maintain amateurism you can’t receive meals, clothing, any form of transportation, or other gifts. I feel that these are great rules set out because technically most college athletes are getting paid with scholarships. Those with full-rides don’t have to pay for anything except general expenses.
Division I student athletes graduate at an average rate of 58 percent. The rates of revenue sports is much lower though. Only 51 percent of football players and 43 percent of mens basketball players graduate. Many critics feel that if college athletes get paid it could even increase graduation rates. I feel that it would in fact lower them because if college athletes are already making money they won’t focus so much on their studying and once the day comes for that draft day and they don’t get signed they will have to pay money to go back to college.
Many people say that college athletes are the only reason why the NCAA makes any money. Many people don’t take into effect that athletes must be taught many things. With that they need coaches and trainers. If your going to pay college athletes are you going to raise the wages of
