Should College athletes be paid How would you

Should College athletes be paid? How would you feel if you were a college football player putting your body on the line every week. Do you think you deserve payment?

Thesis Statement /I believe college athletes should not be paid for playing.

/There are over 13, 000 college football players in the country while there is only about 1, 000 in the NFL / Imagine paying all of those players salaries including the other national sports leagues and associations.

Players should be able to b paid by endorsements. /This could motivate a lot of players to be better so they might be able to be on that next Nike or Adidas commercial. /

/Others believe that the athletes risk being seriously injured. /Also some believe that the players are basically employees for their universities.

This Counter Claim is incorrect because…. /College Athletes sign contracts just incase of serious injury. /Also playing for a university is a privilege not a job, you can even call it a extra curricular activity

/College athletes should not receive payment. Simply because of the fact that a university is offering to pay for their books and other necessities.

/College should not be about the athletes trying to receive paychecks. /The athletes should be mainly focusing on getting that higher education.
