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.
