Worst of all, recruiting encourages the youth to spend more time practicing sports and less time focusing on academics. College recruiting ruins athletes' careers and college sports. Federal law is not broken when colleges recruit athletes and boosters give them gifts (Hughs).

College athletes sacrifice so much for their respective schools and should be given more money and refine their scholarships to cover their expenses to prevent them from accepting illegal benefits, and give back to the athletes that bring so much revenue to their programs and schools. “NCAA athletes are held to what is, essentially, the strictest code of amateurism in sports. It's not just that the rules prevent them from driving a booster's Ferrari to Las Vegas for the weekend. The rules can make them think twice before bumming a ride to the mall.” (Cohen). There have been scandals in college sports (predominately football) involving players taking illegal benefits, such as meals paid for, having tattoos paid for, and having entertainment and nightclub cover charges taken care of.

But should companies like Nike have to give student athletes a piece of their jersey sales? Absolutely. The NCAA throws the word amateurism around far too often. There is a fine line between remaining an amateur and becoming a professional in the eyes of the NCAA. Turning pro does not guarantee endorsements and royalties; it simply means that an athlete will be paid to play for his organization.
To Pay or Not to Pay To exploit means to make full use of and/or derive benefit from something or someone. In the case of student athletes, exploitation has become a major argument. In discussions of athletes and money, a controversial issue is whether or not student athletes should be paid. Many argue that being a college athlete is like having a full-time job, with players either at practice majority of the day, or in class the rest. In this case, they question why not give them some sort of payment to help aide the harsh student expenses they are forced to pay?
The main reason there is a NCAA is because of the fans money that pay for the tickets and the television channels with the game on it. Without it there would be no NCAA having a playoff system would greatly increase the amount of money brought in compared to the regular season like during basketballs march madness the NCAA made “ $40 Million in ticket sales”(Weber, p. A.15). That not even including all the money that is made from things like “ESPN television contracts and sponsorships”(p. A.15) that number is probably way higher than the ticket sale number. Gaining all the money just makes it so if would be worth doing and having the money. Also if the NCAA doesn't do something soon about the issue over the playoff system fans will begin so start questioning and stop wanting to go to the
Providing scouts with an additional year, should assist in investing in the right players. Ultimately, they can use college to filter out the players that are not likely to succeed without the financial penalty. Universities may benefit the most from this rule change. Requiring players to remain at the university level until the age 20, should translate into billions of dollars for colleges. In 2010, Turner Sports network and CBS network paid the NCAA $10.8 billion in order to televise the annual March Madness basketball tournament.
Fred Phelps and his members picketed in a public land adjacent to the funeral. Fred Phelps had informed the law enforcement beforehand and the police lead them through the steps to take for the picketing. Fred Phelps and his members held signs that read, “God Hates the USA,” “Thank God for 9/11,” “America is Doomed,” “Don’t Pray for the USA,” “Thank God for IEDs,” “Thank God for Dead Soldiers,” “Pope in Hell,” “Priests Rape Boys,” “God Hates Fags,” “You’re Going to Hell,” and “God Hates You.” Lance Corporal Snyder’s father had seen the tops of the picketers’ signs when driving to his son’s funeral, but he didn’t realize what the signs had said read until watching the news broadcast later that evening. Snyder’s father brought civil suit against Westboro Church claiming compensatory and punitive damages, due to resulting in emotional distress, intrusion upon seclusion and civil conspiracy.

Summary/Response for “Athletes and Education” In this article, “Athletes and Education,” Neil H.
