Some people say that college athletes get paid by having a scholarship, but if

you look at it a different way, scholarships might change your mind. Coaches
try to get players who they think have the talent to make them win and to
persuade them to come to their school by offering them scholarships. The
whole idea behind a scholarship is to lure the athlete into coming to your
school. Scholarships are nothing more than a recruitment tactic. They will
give you a scholarship as long as you produce for them. It’s all about what you
can do for them. Indeed these scholarships pay for tuition, room and board,
and books, but these athletes don’t have money for other necessities. The
NCAA doesn’t want friends or boosters to offer athletes jobs because
they ... ... middle of paper ... ...hletes recruited to attend college come from
lower, working-class families. The opportunity to enter the draft early to help
their families financially is one that will hardly be passed by. On the issue of
college athletes getting paid, I believe they should. When I mean getting paid
I only mean a stipend or weekly check, not thousands or millions. All the hard
work and dedication they put into their sport and academics are worthy
enough. I have had a chance to play collegiate sports and it takes a lot out of
you mentally and physically. The student athletes deserve at least enough
money to have a normal student life. $300-$400 a month should give athletes
enough money to get the required necessities. All this does is replace the
notion of the athlete getting a job for a source of income. This will also help
reduce the rate at which athletes accept money, cars, and gifts from boosters.
