One of probably the most discussed debates in college athletics is whether or not college athletes should be paid. My views on this have gone back and forth, where most people are pretty defiant in their choice.
Lets take a look at both views…
Athletes technically are getting paid through scholarship if you think about it. The money rewarded through scholarship is paying them down the line instead of cold hard cash at the time. Athletes have many opportunities on and off campus to find work and make money. Considering they have everything they could possibly need on campus, they really do not need to have loads of cash on them.
On the other hand…
Athletes may need this “cold hard cash” at the time of being an athlete, because depending on how dedicated they are to the sport, their sport is their job and life, they have no time to work and earn cash to pay for their college and everyday life.
