@mattnichols1205 I somewhat agree but how would they properly be compensated, it’s too complicated to figure out a proper payment scale...

College athletes are attending college to also learn. Providing student athletes with a salary may motivate them to focus solely on their sport and neglect their academics. Paying them would only further decrease their focus on academics. Doesn’t seem smart. #schoolcomesfirst #A+

Male and female equal pay in sports has been an ongoing issue. People argue that the WNBA players should be paid the same NBA players. NBA stars are paid much more due to the revenue made from these athletes. The same issue would become apparent in the NCAA. #genderequality

Football and basketball make up 90% of the revenue for the NCAA but paying them more money would cause conflict. It seems fair to say that these athletes should be paid more due to the revenue they provide for the NCAA but it will not result in a fair payment scale. #🏈 #🏀

There is a large divide of talent between division I and division III athletes and it would be too challenging to figure out where to draw the line between “amateur” and “professional.” Drawing a line in salary would cause issues between players of different sports. #toocomplex

These athletes receive scholarships, endorsements, free meal plan/living, etc. Paying athletes would give them the commodities near that of the professional level. These are students, not professionals. #endorsements #fortheloveofthegame
