There’s a big controversy right now about athletes (especially in football) who bring in millions of dollars to university while never getting paid. Some say that the scholarship is payment enough. Others say that the athletes deserve a part of the money‚ and they might deserve it‚ but they doesn’t mean they need it. Athletes shouldn’t get part of what they make for the college.
