Ethical Responsibility and the College Athlete Every year approximately 430,000 student athletes enroll in colleges across the country (NCAA National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2013). Many of these students are alone for the first time and must make ethical decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. The student athletes are influenced by their coaches, fellow student athletes, professors, and outside individuals seeking to gain profit from the student athletes will influence the athletes. A panel moderated by John Seigenthaler met to discuss the current state of college athletics, and the roll of responsibility within the college. The panel is composed of five members.
The answer is schools. Most of the time college athletes are as good as the professional athletes and since they don’t have as much time to dedicate themselves to the sport as the professionals, most of them don’t pursue their career in the future. Generally, the attendance at football and basketball games is growing every year in the NCAA, which is nonprofit association that consists of institutions, conferences, organizations, and individuals of many colleges and universities in the United States.

Professional sports are no longer played on grass, dirt and hardwood floors but on calculators and cash registers. Pro athlete’s salaries must be reduced. Professional athletes are paid way too much. CBS Sports reported that in 2005-06 the minimum wage for a 2 year NBA veteran was $719,373; the minimum salary of $1,138,500 for a 10 year veteran. In the 1996-1997 season, NBA’s Michael Jordan was paid $33,450,000 for the year, or just over $1.06 per second, an outrageous amount of money for a player to play the game he loves to play.
Chukwunonso Enekebe Prof Eric Benjamin Psychology 102 03/05/2013 Article Analysis Paper College Students and Alcohol consumption in Colleges in America Alcohol consumption by college students today is extremely high compared to in the late 1900s (Wechsler et al., 2002). Furthermore, alcohol consumption or misuse is a major issue on college campuses in the United States. Every year, at least 40%-45% of college students engage in heavy drinking (Wechsler et al., 2002). And 12% to 31% of colleges students qualify for a clinical diagnosis of alcohol abuse, and of that, 6% qualify for a diagnosis of alcohol dependence (Knight et al., 2002;) .The literature on alcohol suggest a correlation between problematic

Despite the significant help, college players have been for their schools and the revenue they bring in they get nothing in return. Another example, in his article “How Much do College Sports Generate” by Scott Morgan he mentions ,“The NCAA, the largest collegiate sports organization in the United States, directs much of the business of American college sports. “In 2011-12, the NCAA reported $871. 6 million in revenue – 81 percent of it that came from broadcast rights agreement with Turner/CBS sports". (Morgan).
The income of famous athletes varies from athlete to athlete depending on salary as well as endorsements they may have. According to Forbes list The World’s Highest Paid Athletes (June 2013) the highest paid athlete is Tiger Woods with pay of $78.1 million in total that being a salary of $13.1 million and $65 million in endorsement deals. Comparing this to the average salary of an American which is estimated at $51,371 according to 2012 census ACS survey (US Household Income). The difference in pay is remarkably less by the millions. This differential leads to people feeling that athletes get over paid.
