What would the
payment of student athletes mean?
Before: This articles summary drew me into reading this article
because it actually mentioned something financially like income taxes. Right
after the decision of Northwestern football players being labeled as employees
now. I would assume the university is being forced to pay this tax.
During: I realized that most people know athletes aren’t really
students no matter how hard we force the issue. Also, schools are relying on
their athletic programs to pay for many things.
After: I realized this article will help me because it mentions taxing
athletes.
This articles main point is that college football team generate
millions of dollars. Universities are benefiting because they’re only being
forced to give athletes a scholarship. When thinking of taxing no one mention
college sports, even though most schools agreed these sports are a main source
of income. This article showed both side, supporting and not. Overall this will
greatly help my paper because it fits directly with my question. Basically
paying student athletes could call others into being taxed because of this
action. Some feel that’s wrong, while other feel that those athletes didn’t deserve
to be paid and maybe we should be taxed. I want to answer if universities did
start taxing athletes, how much money would the university lose?
