Colleges Athletes Should be Paid
“You go to Chapel Hill and try to go to the Carolina-Duke game good luck trying to get a ticket. It is nationally televised.There is so much money that goes behind that on game. I do think players from both sides should see some type of benefit.” That is a quote by Marvin Williams a former college basketball player. I agree with that quote and think college athletes should be paid.
In college athletics, being paid would help the athletes get more out of college. If you play sports in college you may come out of college with a degree, but being paid would help them come out of college with a little more than just a degree. According to NCAA only about 5 percent of college athletes make it to the professianals.
