Athlete-student? Diverse examines monetary investment in student-athletes

In Preston Clarks recent work he has demonstrated how student athletes in division 1 colleges have increased graduation rates. Preston goes on giving the percentage that the schools have increased by for example Alabama has increased by "75% and have won 3 of the four national titles." Preston also makes an argument saying these student athletes are putting money back into there schools with graduation rates and there performance. Preston says "it seems to make a bit more sense to then put money back into them."

Preston claim that student athletes should have money put back to them since they bring there campus money is something I strongly agree with. The student athlete is not only participating in the role of an athlete and doing an astonishing job at it the athletes are also bieng students and making the schools graduation rates increase which makes any college look well.
