College students should get paid because of all the income they bring in for their school while playing. For example, in the article “Why College Athletes Should Be Paid” by Tyson Harnett he says “Many coaches earn at least $100,000 per year to coach one of the major basketball, baseball, football at a school. “They will receive bonuses for going to the playoffs, winning championships etc.” “You know what the athletes receive as a gift?

Nicholas Jackson Critical Writing Class Professor Maralyn Schlanger November 17, 2013 Should College Athletes Get Paid For Their Time Put In As Athletes? Should college athletes get paid to play? Forget about the game winning 3-pointer, forget about the cheerleader girlfriend, and forget about the championship game. What about the money college athletes will never see and earned?

This is not true, athletes have to work significant hours just to stay in their professional league, let alone be a star.

The first time this question was asked was by Howard Savage, a staff member of the Carnegie Foundation. In 1930 he asked if such a big corporation such as colleges and universities can concentrate its attention on securing their teams to win while not paying the players who came to their schools for education in the first place. The answer is simple. College athletes should get paid for playing sports during their college career.
