My topic is whether or not college athletes should be paid. Upon reading about this subject, several questions came up in addition to the original question. One question is that if we decide to pay college athletes how should we go about awarding their pay? Is it fair to pay a Heisman winning Quarterback for a large Division 1 school the same amount as the worst player on the fencing team for a small Division 3 school? Also, we have to ask where is this money coming from? Should the NCAA be paying these athletes or should the money becoming from the state or national government, or should the actual colleges be given the chance to flex their wallets and pay for athletes the same way a professional team might? There are many sources that I could go to for research on this topic seeing how hot of topic it is. ESPN has several articles and documentaries regarding paying college athletes, as do organizations like The Huffington Post, Time Magazine, and CNN.
