Reflection

          The challenging part about this whole issue was where I would take my stand and what kind of solutions are there that can be seen as something that are realistic. In my opinion, I believe that college athletes should be compensated for all the work they put into what they do and all the time that is sacrificed to do so. The realistic solutions I mentioned  are the solutions that I think are something that can be applied in the near future. For example, rather than giving these college athletes paychecks worth thousands of dollars, the NCAA and the colleges should help make their scholarships have more value so that these scholarships can get the athletes through the four years of being in college, or if the athletes choose to go for a master's or doctorates degree then the scholarship should be able to cover a majority of the expenses. The NCAA and the schools themselves rake in billions of dollars in revenue so why not give a very small percentage of it to the players? When given to the player it shouldn't be in cash at least but it should be used to cover some of the college fees that all athletes have to pay. The important part to notice is that these college athletes take time away from their studies, personal time, and even sleep to play the sport they love. The schools should provide a way to show how much they appreciate these players for all the hard work they've been doing.
