In “Should College Athletes Be Paid to Play”, two lawmakers from Michigan State

University, Robert and Amy McCormick argues that athletes on athletic scholarships at Division

1 schools should be paid and considered employees. Most of these young athletes are doing more

and having more demands put on them than most paid employees at the university. They also

have to choose a major were the classes taken do not interfere with their rigorous practice

schedule. They are required to maintain good grades, attend classes and attend practice in order

to be able to participate in games. This is truly a full-time job and these athletes should be treated

as “employees” under federal labor laws and receive pay and benefits.

Kenneth Cooper’s purpose in writing this is to prove the point that Division 1 athletes

deserve to be considered paid employees under federal labor laws. This piece is written to

persuade the NCAA and other groups the reasons athletes should be paid. This is persuasive

because it was written from lawmakers at Michigan State University which is a university known

for its athletics and studies.

The academic article was published on EBSCOhost. The source of this article was from

Diverse Issues in Higher Education no. 10 and was written by Kenneth Cooper. It was written in

2011 and all the points brought up in the article are still very valid.

I plan to implement this article in my essay in order to show how athletes really

considered employees of the university. Specifically, how athletes qualify under federal labor

laws and deserve benefits.

College Sports Would Not Necessarily Make Educational Scholarships Taxable.” Boston

In “From Student-Athletes to Employee-Athletes”, Marc Edelman discusses that paying

the athletes will decrease the scholarships they receive causing them to have to pay for school.

The NCAA covers a lot of taxes and liabilities and if they chose to pay the players those prices

would skyrocket so scholarships could be taken away if not minimized.

Marc Edelman’s purpose of writing this is to warn people that paying athletes will

decrease scholarship and make NCAA taxes go up. It is not as easy as just paying athletes there

are a lot of taxes involved and money going elsewhere.

The academic article was published on EBSCOhost. The source of the article was from

Boston College Law Review vol. 58 no. 4 and was written by Marc Edelman. It was written in

2017 so is still very relevant.

I plan to implement this article in my essay in order to show the taxes and monetary side

of the argument. Specifically, how scholarships may be cut if we choose to pay college athletes.

Engle, Jeremy. “Should College Athletes Be Paid?” The New York Times, 26 Feb. 2019,

www.nytimes.com/2019/02/26/learning/should-college-athletes-be-paid.html.

In “Should College Athletes Be Paid”, Ramogi Huma, the founder and president of the

College Athletes Players Association questions if it is even worth I t for him to return playing

college basketball after sustaining that injury. Zion Williamson, a basketball player for Duke was

playing a game and the sole of his shoe broke causing him to sustain an injury to his ankle and

knee.

The purpose in writing this article was to show the injuries athletes sustain and aren’t

even paid for. Athletes sustain even worse career ending injuries and do not even receive any

money and now they are unable to play the sport they dreamed to make a career out of. This

article was specifically written for people to debate whether athletes should be paid or just risk

an injury.

The article was published by The New York Times and was written by Jeremy Engle. It

was written in 2019 and is still very valid considering the example they use happened earlier this

year.

I plan to implement this article in my essay in order to show that athletes risk injuries and

ending their careers to play for colleges to gain them fame and money. Specifically, the Duke

player example.

In “A Solution for the Pay for Play Dilemma of College Athletes”, multiple cases of

where athletes deserve to be paid and received no compensation were brought up including the

Ohio State debacle. Ohio State’s Braxton Miller was very known after his spin move in their

game facing Virginia Tech. the move was played over and over again on ESPN. This is a

specific case in which an athlete should have been compensated.

The purpose in writing this this article was to show specific examples of when the players

deserved to be payed due to something they did. They deserved the fame for the show they put

on. This article was specifically written for the NCAA and to gain knowledge on paying college

athletes.

The academic article was published by EBSCOhost. The source of this article was Texas

written in 2016 and the examples used are still very known and relevant.

I plan to implement this article in my essay in order to show specific examples of where

athletes should have been compensated for their actions. Specifically, the Ohio State players

examples.

working to argue for income.

In “Should College Athletes Be Paid”, two children from the United States share their

opinion on if college athletes should be paid. One says that they should be payed because it is not

fair that the NCAA makes all the money for their talent. The other argues that its strictly an

extracurricular that they chose to participate in.

The purpose in writing this article was to make kids aware of the ongoing issue college

athletes face and to even gain their opinions on the matter. This article was specifically written

for a children’s audience, but it has great insight.

The academic article was published on EBSCOhost. The source of the article was from

Scholastic News/Weekly Reader Edition 5/6 and was written by Maddie and Nathan Noble. It

was written in 2018 and is still a very valid way to make children aware of what is going on in

the real world. It also makes adults aware of how children feel on certain subject matters.

I plan to implement this article in my essay in order to show how children feel about the

matter. Specifically, how children do have an opinion on the matter and it is just as valid as

anyone else’s.
