After listening
to all the debates I found myself thinking about this topic in particular. Is
the treatment of these athletes fair? Should the rules be changed to help these
athletes receive money they “deserve” for their hard work? Being a
student-athlete is a full time job. These athletes are attending school,
completing homework assignments, committing hours to practice, traveling for
games, and are expected to be happy receiving a scholarship, that is if they
even receive one. With their school load and responsibilities to their team,
can we expect athletes to have time to work to receive an income to support
them? These athletes bring in money to their schools yet see none of the
profit. NCAA makes a profit from these athletes. An example is they use the
images of these athletes in video games yet give 0% to them from the huge
amount of money they generate. Can
we really claim that the treatment of these athletes is fair? Should they at
least receive a stipend as an athlete?
