College Athlete’s Compensation

Introduction

With the rising popularity of many college athletes, there has been a push for them to be paid for what they do as a sign of them being popular and their efforts being appreciated rather than just receiving the scholarship which they receive automatically when they play for the national team. This kind of wish and practice began in Ohio state whereby the National Collegiate Athletic Association led by drake in Ohio began this with the statement that they have to make sure that the student-athletes get the best possible experience so that their performance and their motivation remains high.

According to this article, drake states that college students will start getting paid because of their popularity. This happens as a result of the removal of the ban whereby college athletes could not use their talents to make an extra amount of money in things like advertisements and others and therefore this article talks of how after the lift of the ban so many athletes especially those who are famous are likely to make a lot of money from their involvement into activities like advertisement and other activities which are likely to bring them money.

This article is therefore is a very well-structured one, it is short and it gives only the relevant information. Therefore it can be used for this research because it provides very apt information when it comes to the issue of compensation of athletes. Therefore the research about eh compensation of athletes plays a vital role in making sure that the manner and the reasons for compensation are fully discussed and therefore the announcement and the events surrounding the compensation are known as discussed in the article.

This article talks of how the national body which governs the athletes had put a lot of protection and was in the custody of so much about the young athletes and therefore with the decision that college students will be allowed to use their names, control how their pictures and other aspects of their life is used in a very important one. When the students control what they want with their pictures and social media accounts then it turns out that they become healthier and more productive. The national body generates about $15 billion each year and therefore this amount of money none goes to the players and therefore this can be seen as a kind of dictatorship that must be removed from existence and therefore the athletes are given more freedom and therefore this is a very important aspect of the national team because the burden and the lack of capital among the college athletes will be ended with the introduction of their payment.

This article giving so much important information related to the compensation of the national athletes, therefore, plays a very critical role in the research about the compensation of college student athletics. This decision can be said to have been pushed by different individuals and majorly the students who must have felt left out or not counted in as the national body makes $15 billion. References
