Reformation of NCAA Policies Living the life of a highly recruited high school athlete is completely different than the life lived by the average teenager. It entails dealing with the connections of multiple university coaches, constantly perfecting the craft of their perspective sport, and finally making that decision to one of the intriguing offers from the multitude of offers received from various colleges. The whole reasoning behind these college coaches to giving out these offers to the high school students is to keep the money rolling in from collegiate sports. Despite all of the revenue that comes from collegiate sports, none of that is ever returned back to the young people who make all of this money. Currently the NCAA policy states

Motivation and determination by the doctoral student will ensure studying and critically thinking concerning scholarly peer-reviewed research they obtain.

Speaking with the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Rhode Island, Earl N. Smith III, the questioned was posed, "should collegian athletes be paid for their services while representing their universities?" Smith responded, "Yes, it all comes down to ethics. These kids generate huge sums of money for the NCAA and its universities and some of them come from extreme hardship. It is more than just a college tuition that they need. You have travel, clothes; a lot goes into college other than tuition (E.N.
Summary of “Universities, governments and industry: Can the essential nature of universities survive the drive to commercialize?” by Simon N. Young Throughout the entry “Universities, governments and industry: Can the essential nature of universities survive the drive to commercialize?’’, the author Simon N. Young, speaks of how since the mid nineteen hundreds, university research has had much change. He speaks of positive changes such as more people attending universities to expand their knowledge, and then goes on to speak of negative changes such as industry and governments getting themselves involved within research. Having these governments and industries becoming involved in the research creates an atmosphere for universities to become more commercialized, therefore defocusing their research on the more needed, or
President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration effectively made the :Great Society” and then tackled the growing issue of poverty through this program but unfortunately could not help the gender discrimination of this time period. Lyndon Johnson took over the presidency and took into account the political problems in the United States surrounding both at home and oversees.

The NEA has great influences on Congress, state senators, and the Supreme Court, along with representatives lobbying for court verdicts on state and federal programs. With the NEA’s help, we have developed an expensive, broad educational structure, however we still have thousands of students graduating who cannot spell, read well, write an essay, demonstrate basic math skills, demonstrate basic knowledge of American history, and so on. For an organization, that “accomplishes” so much, there are way too many children graduating from school who do not have the basic educational needs to obtain a job. The NEA stresses the importance of getting support and federal aid to improve the schools and education, but there is no improvement. Our education system has developed a curriculum that teaches no moral values, biblical lessons, or enough basic educational necessities for that matter.
Pay To Play? College athletes juggle busy academic schedules and practice schedules throughout stressful weeks of the year, so shouldn’t they be compensated for the time dedicated to their college teams (football, American football, basketball etc.). From the start of higher education, college athletes have never been adequately financially rewarded for their efforts in sports. Athletic scholarships are a form of scholarship which allows its pupils to attend a college or a private high school. These are awarded to an individual based predominantly on his or her ability to play in a sport.
Lewis Lapham, in his book Money and Class in America, describes that Americans focus exclusively on obtaining money. After earning tons of money, Americans buy unnecessary, fancy items such as; fancy cars, designer clothing and over-the-top houses. America seems very “materialistic” compared to other countries where wealth isn’t the center of their world. Lapham is correct when he claims that Americans “are at a loss to hold its [money’s] majesty at bay.” Being a junior in high school, I have had lots of time to think about what kind of career I should plunge into. When choosing the perfect profession, the amount of money is a very important component to me because I want to easily care for myself and those around me.
The Universities of Alabama and Texas, and my beloved Ohio State University, brought over $115,000,000 from the 2008 college football season (ESPN.com). This just in: that’s a lot of money and a lot of fans. Fans love to watch college athletes win on the court or field, but they might not realize that many of them lose in the classroom. The role of college athletics in American Universities has changed dramatically since the first intercollegiate competition in 1852. Initially, sports were viewed as a distraction.
