After reading the Washington Post.Fred Bowen is saying that the athletes that play basketball and football are not athletes but employees. Since they are employees they have the right to make a union and contribute to what they think are working conditions. Just because college basketball and football players are considered employees other sports are not for football and basketball are the two sports that make the most money. It is also said that all athletes expenses are covered through a scholarship but it is understandable that athletes would like to be paid.
In my opinion I believe that these two sports should be paid they are the top earning sports for university's. I as a college student who has financial aid and a loan understand that it is still a struggle to have money when you have all theses little school fees and books and other expenses. Knowing that its a struggle for me I can only imagine what athletes have to go through bieng center of attention and multitasking school and sports. Student athletes should get paid scholarships are not sufficient enough.
