This paper discusses the issue of whether college athletes should be paid to play their sports. Included in this paper are interviews from numerous college athletes. The paper contends that college athletes should not be paid to play their respective sport for the simple reason that their current incentive package is more than enough payment for the job that they do. Scholarships, housing, plus the potential income that comes with a college degree are more than adequate payment for college athletes.
From the Paper:
"It seems that with every new year comes a plethora of new hot topics which overrun the news and dominate the print media. This year being no different, college athletes have become the target of many an ambitious sports analyst and have become the object of affection for numbers of respected penmen. With the recent explosion in the popularity of intercollegiate athletics, the question is being raised over whether or not the actual athletes who participate in these high stakes contests should receive a piece of the profit. High revenue athletes at the college level receive a scholarship, an opportunity, and so much more. To suggest that what they receive is not enough would be pure lunacy."
