All of the ticket, clothing, and other stuff that are made for the team are being sold and most of that money is divided between the players (news). Also buying super expensive food, drinks, and stuff at the gift shops at the games goes to the players as well (bleacher report). For example, a golden state…
"If you pay to participate in a sport, the overall quality of the team, equipment, and experience will be better," quote from Murphy Georger. What Georger is saying is that when you pay to participate in a sport everything will be better because the money that people pay to join will be used in a fabulous way.

Students should pay to play a school sport because the money can be used to buy good equipment, they can also use the money to pay the coach, and the athletes could use the money to benifit the team.…
Athletes with very little time on their hands are not making money off their beloved job. Over decades, there have been athletes pouring their heart and soul into their sport that they have worked for. For years, the love of the game has gotten almost each and every elite athlete to a university where they can showcase their ability and talent. However, for the Division 1 level it is more or less a business, and your job is to bring in as much profit to your university as you can. Regardless of the business, a true athlete will play the game with a desire to win in their hearts. In recent years there has been controversial question as to which every athlete is thinking. Should student athletes who play a sport get an extra benefit by being paid because they are a college athlete?…

Imagine a star of a college basketball team. They take their team to the championship game and win the game. Their jerseys are selling like crazy and their school is bringing in millions of dollars off of their work. In any other situation they would be a millionaire with a fancy house and car. But not if they are a college athlete because they don't get paid. Even though their school made a lot of money off their blood, sweat, and tears they still don't get paid one penny. There is no doubt that college athletes should be paid. They should be paid because they work hard and put their bodies on the line, they would make college sports more competitive, and they also bring in hundreds of millions of dollars.…
