The resources they are providing, include: compensation for room and board, tuition, and books. To give money beyond those things: has the potential to ruin the authenticity of college athletics, will produce unfairness throughout each of the sports,…

controversy about paying college athletes, many court cases are beginning to arise due to former players realizing that the NCAA’s rules and guidelines are unfair. Two students on the Northwestern football team created a petition to be able to unionize and be compensated for their play, however, the National Labor Relation Board declined to give jurisdiction in their case (“N.L.R.B. Rejects Northwestern Football”). Although the board denied compensation for athletes, their reasoning avoided the…
