Introduction:
I. I would like everyone to raise their hand if they play a sport for Southeastern Community College.
Now how many of you who raised your hand think it’s fair for all the athletes in this room to be paid a salary on top of receiving an athletic scholarship and academic scholarship?
The topic of student athlete’s being paid has been debated about for many years.
