College athletes should be paid

College athletes should be paid under certain criteria. If an athlete is able to strive to be better because they are getting paid, of course I feel it would be right. College is a time for growth and development, and sports are able to grow if more players are doing everything they can to be the best. Naturally, not all college athletes shouldn't be paid. There are circumstances that would refrain many from being paid like the obvious ones: Grades, drugs, etc. If a college athlete can maintain great grades, is the most valuable player on a sports team, allows for the team to go to states or nationals, and is regularly tested for steroid use, then I feel it is only more beneficial to that sport for a student to be paid.
