I have found a lot on information on my topic dealing with college athletes and their scholarships. I can understand both arguments for if college athletes should be paid or not. Both sides have great supporting arguments.
Pros: College athletics is a billion dollar industry
Crazy money is going to college coaches
Over half of college athletes come from the lowest income families
Endorsements would cause athletes to behave and have clean image
Cons: Only two sports contribute to the net gain of a university (football and basketball)
Other Programs will need to be cut
Only 12 FBS schools broke even or made income last year
Free or less expensive education
Includes tutors and help from many people whenever needed
Questions: Do collegiate athletes have enough support and tools around them to help them succeed without needing money?
Is there a viable plan to pay athletes and not crush the university?
Should college athletes be forced to take a money management or financial help class?
