"Why an Off-the-Field Win for Student Athletes Could
Mean Higher College Costs." Time. Time, 27 Nov. 2014. Web. 12 Oct. 2016.
What would the payment of student athletes mean to the rest
of the student body?
Before reading this source I realized I need to change my question
due to lack of research available. I would still want to deal with the payment
of athletes but I don’t know what perspective/angle I’ll use. I couldn’t find
anything on the library website, so to google I went. It’s not as legit but it’s
a Times article with great sources, so why not? While skimming through this
article I saw a subtitle labeled as “Who Will Foot A Bigger Bill?” This went
along perfect with my topic. Basically student’s tuition money goes to so many
random places, and we rarely know what we’re paying for.
This source changed my thinking because it showed how big
universities charged us for useless things. This article made a great point
stating how much were really paying for sporting events. But I do agree with
them stating that most schools wouldn’t be able to raise students cost and pay
athletes. I don’t think it would be fair to us, there should be some other
source of income that could foot the bill. Yes, athletics are a big staple for
college towns, but raising prices cost them all their fans. I agree with most
of the stated things in this article. It mostly lines up and is similar to my article
1. Basically saying yes college athletes
should be paid, but no one knows where this money will be coming from.
This source led me to think of questions like will all
athletic divisions suffer or just only smaller ones? Why can’t the NCAA foot
the bill? Why don’t universities tell us exactly where our tuition is going?
Also, if this does occur can students fight this?
