The Pros And Cons Of College Athletes

The National College Athlete association is very huge and well known across many of our earth’s countries. There are some of the most known sports in this “league”. The most popular and well known sports would be football and basketball and lesser of baseball and lacrosse. The big key for the NCAA and its funding would be football and basketball. They are huge keys in the popularity and TV shows and such. There’s a question to be had and that is how much are they really making? Who is making them this money? The athletes are seeing no gain and the biggest dilemma in here that I am going to address is whether or not these athletes should be seeing some sort of “cut’ in these profits.

In one of my sources it stated that there is a double standard in this because if a musically talented kid on a scholarship were to accept things and money and gifts etc. there would be no one to point a finger and say this and that thus being the double standard. There are some people who would compare the athletes to pro because they have all the same risks and some even have more fame the players in the NFL.
The NCAA has said that they don’t see college athletes as pros because they are still in college and they seem to have a different story with the coaching staff them may be considered to be
“paid” in a professional manner. This is true because an average major college head coach will get paid $1.5 Million to at most $ 5 million there is more than enough money to be spread around in this program and there’s so many people who will complain.
The very hard and tedious part if that people all have opinions on what is right and what’s not. We aren’t asking these kids to be paid millions the thing that people look past. The players need some money to be financially stable and have sense of where they are in their checkbooks.
They need compensated or there efforts just like anyone else would complain for doing

The big counter argument that reoccurs in this is that paying the athletes would cause a warlike level for these sports and derail the competition and change everything but this would not be a problem if all the big time schools handled things the right way and did everything by the code that would be re written if this was to go into full effect and there would be so many little things to address but we can make it happen. If an athlete were to get 2000$ - 3000$ a month then they could be okay and if they were to fail things like a drug test or not getting good grades then it could be taken away and this would make the work ethics and will to keep grades and keep clean would increase because now paying them they would fear losing it and it just adds that much more will. There are so many rules and lots of regulations that need to be addressed and added or removed. We need to stop punishing players for doing what they need to do like getting a little bit of extra cash and or free things like meals and stuff. There’s so many people with the same idea as I and there’s a lot the needs to change and my opinion on all of it
