Despite college athletics being a multi-billion-dollar industry that builds elaborate facilities and handsomely rewards coaches, players are not entitled to a single penny. All colleges do is to cater for education/scholarship and housing, and other costs of the athletes/players. They (college athletes) definitely want more because they have become very popular for spectacular sportsmanship over the past few decades. In particular, The National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) is reaping big with the high demand for viewing these rising stars. The bone of contention is weather plays college athletes would be beneficial. One side of the debate argues that scholarship/free college and being able to advance their education is enough payment. Cartels in the sport’s industry also fear that paying college athletes could make the distinction between amateur and pros to disappear. The other side of the divide believes that it is unethical for colleges to deny their athletes momentary pay, while making a lot of money from their talent and effort. Most of the conflicting parties in this ordeal include college athletes, colleges, Collegiate Sports Organization such as the NCAA, and coaches. On the whole, would allowing college students to profit from their sportsmanship and image by paying them be beneficial?
