College football

I began to notice a trend of the students who were in the classroom or clubs with me. I would look to my left; then my right, and saw that I was a little different than the rest of the class. On game days I am the only one in the room wearing a football jersey. When identifying my race on a questionnaire, I will also be the only one not marking white or Caucasian. I often question why athletes or minorities do not take the Advance Placement (AP) Courses offered at my school or participate in…

being able to go to college for free and be able to play the sport you enjoy the most. This is the life of many college athletes. They get free rides in college, and they get to play their favorite sport as well. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, has kept the athletic events amateur since the beginning of college sports.

The debate on whether college athletes should be rewarded for their dedication to sports through payment has many different arguments to it. Although some would argue that athletes do not deserve to be paid, it would be fair for them to receive compensation for their hard work. College athletes should be paid because they deserve it based on the amount of the work they put into their lifestyle, the college sports industry would be more than able to afford it, and it is immoral and possibly…

A&M University will further me in achieving this dream. My ultimate goal is to attend A&M University, however, Blinn College has been my first stepping stone. My family has lived in Bryan/College Station ever since I was a baby. I grew up in a household with five children, including myself. We all are raised on Aggie tradition, going to A&M as much as possible, including football and basketball games. I am always on campus, and I also am a part of Blinn Team so I sometimes have classes at A&M.…

Everyone watches college sports. You watch it on tv and sometimes go to the game, but where does that money go that you pay to get in. You are paying the NCAA and they might use in for funds. But they make a ton of money. Which is why they should pay college athletes to play. The reasons are that 1 college athletes are employees and not just players, 2 is they have to pay bills of their own, and 3 is that the NCAA makes a ton of big deals with tv companies and pulls in a ton of money. You may…

Current Students 1.) The El Paso Community College website is filled with an abundance of resources to help out its college attendees. It embodies the EPCC Tejano spirit by outlining the website in teal. One Tab titled current students provides online users with shortcuts, and easier access to classroom resources. The website includes information about campus life. Blackboard and My EPCC E-mail are the most commonly used resources. Upon checking my emails, I realized that most of the messages I…

The NCCA won't permit the colleges to offer a school football pullover with a player's name on it, yet they will offer the shirt with the player's number on it, which is effectively conspicuous in nearby, and here and there national markets. The significant universities acquire tremendous totals…

cheerleading. My father was a cheerleader at St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco back when it was an all-boys school. My mom was a part of the Edwardsburg cheer squad in Michigan. I was not aware of my cheer lineage until after I joined the Drake High School Cheer Team. The history of cheerleading is strongly bound to the history of athletics in the United States. This includes American Football, basketball, etc. At the first American Football university game, held in 1869…
