First off, this is a paper for sports economics. This paper is to be an argument as to why the NCAA needs to pay college athletes. The NCAA and its member colleges and Universities generate millions of dollars in revenue a year due to athletics programs.
This revenue comes from Ticket/ concession sales for home events, merchandise sales, and probably the largest portion of revenue comes from television/broadcasting contracts. All of this revenue is generated due to the performances of the athletes that make up these schools athletic departments, yet the College athletes (Specifically football, basketball, and baseball athletes) do not see a dime of that revenue. this needs to change. This paper should include history about some past problems the NCAA has had with with this issue as it becomes more talked about and more relevant each year. Also, it needs to include how players have been affected by it. College athletes deserve financial recognition for the merchandise profit they generate, as well as the opportunity to pursue their own financial gains. As athletes, they work hard on the field every day to bring in fans and wins for their school; its only fair that they are rewarded for their efforts, at least in some small way.As far as sources go, The paper should leverage academic journal articles.
