Thread: Should College Athletes Get Paid?

There will be a shit ton of money involved in the cure for aids, cancer, ___________.............just as soon as it's found. Pharm companies aren't in the business of medicine to help mankind, they are in it for the money.....same as athletics. It just so happens that one subject matter seems more important than the other.

Athletes get paid large sums since people are willing to pay large sums to watch them play. Capitalism plain and simple. On topic, should college athletes get paid? I think they already are, they have school paid for. Now this is regarding the full rides. There are non-scholarship athletes, and partial scholarship. The non-scholarship have no room to complain at all. I don't care if you love the sport, can't afford it, don't play plain and simple. The partial scholarship players are the only ones with a slight complaint, but still, you are not the star, you are not as important a player, you get paid less. In this case it is less of a scholarship. College athletes already get paid, they get school paid for. Some will move on to play pro ball, others pro something else. Both ways they still got paid, via scholarship...
