Should college athletes be paid?
Saying college athletes don't get paid already is kind of false. College athletes get paid in other ways. They receive scholarships worth a lot of money to the greatest colleges across the country. Money is also allowanced to athletes for free nike gear and clothes all the time. And when college athletes are struggling with schoolwork, they have the option for tutoring for free. So I absolutely don't think college should be paid for their playing, they receive enough money. Money will only influence college athletes to play for the wrong thing rather than coming to college for an education. Some college athletes play to reach the next level to get the big bucks, but until then, they should be focusing on playing for their school's pride.

I agree with all of this. Money is already influencing everything enough already, why should we pay students in college to play the sport that they love? They get perks all the time, and if they are good enough and try hard enough they may go professional.
