A Call for College Athletes to Be Paid The NCAA makes an estimate of nine hundred and eighty nine million dollars annually. The NCAA is able to make this gigantic profit while paying its employees absolutely nothing. If this situation would happen with a large employer paying its employees nothing‚ the company would get into serious legal trouble. However‚ since they are college athletes‚ society thinks it is okay. While many people say that receiving an education is enough of a privilege and paying

$111 million a year just because you played a game? Many athletes are being paid big bucks just like famous quarterback Andrew Luck. But do these famous athletes really deserve all those millions of dollars? In my opinion‚ they are definitely being paid an excessive amount of money. Professional athletes are paid too much money in an unfair way because they are paid more than the people who “perform more valuable services”‚ and the money they earn could be reinvested into the community instead‚ along

Why is a professional athlete able to get away with certain crimes that a normal everyday person couldn’t get away with? There isn’t a good enough answer to that question today. Some judges and law enforcement seem to look passed the wrong doing of a professional athlete because of their social status or importance to the league or association. Obviously this is unjust‚ athletes can’t get away with what whatever they want just because of the status they hold. One definition of the judicial system

Many professional athletes and entertainers get paid far more than most of today’s doctors and veterinarians. It makes it seem like their positions are better than a doctor’s or teacher’s position. It upsets many of the workers who try to insure health‚ education‚ and agriculture. It can also put low-salary workers to shame. I disagree with the athletes’ and entertainers’ high salary because it makes them seem more important than other professional workers‚ it makes them richer than other professional

There should be no salary caps on professional athletes. Professional athletes are paid more because of how of many people go to certain sports games. If a sports team generates more money‚ then athletes will be paid more. People would think teachers or firefighters should be paid more‚ but neither of those jobs is making as much money as a sports franchise.

how nice it’d be if a person could earn money without ever doing their job. That’s how it is for many athletes who sit on the bench and don’t play a single game‚ yet are paid millions of dollars anyways.
