I believe that collegiate athletes should get payed for many different reasons. If college level athletes got payed they would most likely stay in school longer. Staying in school longer would led to more degree opportunities, which would equal more successful students and a higher success rate for the college. Students who aren’t athletes find time for jobs bringing in extra income, where athletes find it hard to make time for anything other than practicing and studying. If athletes in college…

Cheating in Sports Some people will do anything to win but sometimes they do it dishonestly. For instance, corking bats, taking PEDs, or paying referees to throw a game are just some examples of cheating. Some people believe that if athletes are caught cheating they should be given another chance, while others believe they must be banned from the sport. Athletes who are caught cheating should be banned completely from the sport because athletes get paid millions of dollars, it is not fair for…

Athletes are Paid Fairly \Athletes will turn down huge contracts mentioning they have a family to feed. Being an athlete can ruin you, yet athletes still do what they love to entertain us. Athletes risk so many things. For example they get injured to please us, that is their way of making money. Athletes are so busy they don’t have time to think about retirement, so when retirement comes it’ll be hard for them to support themselves and their family. Have you ever thought about how athletes risk…

College players are going into the NBA younger and younger these days, but that might not be the best choice. If they aren’t good enough, right after freshman year they should stay longer to get better. If they take all four years they could have a degree to have another job if they don’t make it to the NBA. College athletes should stay in school for all four years because they might not succeed right away in the Pros, they could get a better education, even though they love the sport they play…

Sports psychologists study athletes to find out what motivates them to keep playing and pushing. In order to effectively treat an athlete, a sports psychologist must first be able to identify the issue that the athlete is having, whether it be a personal issue going on at home, a motivation issue, recovering from an injury, regardless of the severity. Essentially, sports psychology combines a passion for psychology and sports medicine to conduct research and apply their finding to treat the…

reason why Athletes deserve high compensation is because they devote their lives to a sport. Athletes train every single day of their lives just to perform. This does not include the actual game day where they give it their all for everyone to see on national television. Not to mention having as strict a diet they have on top of everything else. Being away from family for long periods of time also can have a negative effect on them mentally.…

college athletics have gained a tremendous amount of popularity across the United States. Whether it be football, basketball, or hockey; sports bring large amounts of revenue to their respective Universities year round(Wilson). These athletes increase the popularity of the universities reputation and raise money for the universities, however, the athletes receive nothing out of it. The NCAA Regulations states, “You are not eligible for participation in a sport if after full-time collegiate…

“In august, a judge ruled that college athletes can be paid. That is seen as a win for college basketball players and football players”. Because many athletes may get hurt while playing college sports and won 't go on to playing pro Football or Basketball. “45% of athletes will get hurt during their first year of sports” (Chadiha). because schools permit up to 95 (maximum) in 1992 scholarships to players. Now those are reduce to just 85 which is only 10 injury difference (Chadiha). with only 15…

The topic that I have chosen to explore is the controversy over paying college athletes. Personally, it was an idea that had not crossed my mind often, but after giving it more thought, there is some sense to the proposition. It’s an issue that has been debated for years, and as times change and the world progresses, more opportunities are presenting themselves to help back up each side of the controversy. I’m interested in exploring this controversy, because it is not a topic that I’m exactly…
