Division One college athletes should be paid for playing the sport that they participate in. One reason why I think college players should be payed money for their participation in college level sporting events is because the coaches are paid millions. However, the players get nothing. Even though they are performing their skills for the coach and fans. Also they are making their school look good at this sport. Also making people want to go to the games and when more people go to the game the more money they make. However, yet out of all the money they make the players get paid nothing maybe a ring if they win. You might say they get a scholarship, but they are not really truly making money playing a sport that is just saying we want u to play for our team we have a great college and the player should come visit.
Another one of the Reasons is that the athletes are putting in just as much time as pro athletes. A lot of them are just as good or are that good and these players are the ones that attract the fans which brings money from them buying all kinds of stuff at the games. when the school makes all that money none of it goes to the players it
just stays with the school and they use is for stuff at the school that students or they might need.
The very last reason for why college athletes should be paid is because they are putting their bodies on the line possibly getting hurt for a little time like a few weeks but they could hurt themselves that it effects their whole life or carrier they wanted to do after this sport. Some might think that is their choice yes but they did not have to play this sport for your school they could just go there to get an education and not even want to play because they are scared they will get seriously hurt or they aren't getting paid so why play for this team that I am not getting paid for.
Overall why college athletes should be paid is because a lot of them put in just as much time maybe more and a lot of them will make it pro one day because they already made it far to division one so they might as well make some money that is all.
