The NCAA promotes both athletics and academic achievement and is assigned with the involvement of legislation and enforcement in professional sports. Financial payment is among the college sports industry's frequently discussed topics. Such sports are perpetually generating income on an increasing level attempting to force the NCAA to tackle the issue of paying athletes for their engagement in sports like soccer, baseball, and basketball.

The controversy on agreeing to pay student athletes has been at the focal point of headlines for some decades but now continues to expand, thanks to the higher revenues produced by the professional athletes for their colleges as well as the percentage of economic development seen in the business sector as a whole. Even when the mean football stipend is valued $20,000 annually, still the college earns $70,000 annually profits per scholarship athlete (remember that this statistic is only an approximation-the exact number could genuinely be greater), the college will earn $50,000 annually, per scholarship athlete, or $200,000 throughout a four-year span ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"N1k7idUF","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Brown)","plainCitation":"(Brown)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":83,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/RD8SZVDL"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/RD8SZVDL"],"itemData":{"id":83,"type":"article-journal","title":"Compensation for the student-athlete: Preservation of amateurism","container-title":"Kan.

In case of attempting to solve this issue, several perspectives, claims and approaches are suggested. Since college students are confronted with almost the same degree of risk injury as elite athletes, it allows the discussion of being paid quite realistic as grants itself cannot compensate for this. In this paper, we would discuss the ethical concerns associated with not paying the college athletes. It is for their involvement to be compensated since the condition that occurred a century ago is not quite the same anymore. The college athletics atmosphere should progress as the general sports market evolves through period.
Discussion
The first and foremost reason why athletes should be compensated is that they generate large income for the college, but in effect they do not get how much they deserve. It is true, NCAA alone earns nearly $10.8 per year. Although the scholarship could probably be worth $25,000 annually, plus a successful profession following school worth $1 million. In turn, college-athletes earn all sorts of benefits while in school, such as living in luxury hotels, getting watched on national television, and all the fame that comes of being a star player ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"W4Z10M3e","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Goldman)","plainCitation":"(Goldman)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":82,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/KEGCFQ92"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/KEGCFQ92"],"itemData":{"id":82,"type":"article-journal","title":"Sports and antitrust: Should college students be paid to play","container-title":"Notre Dame L.

Putting a value mark on all of this is complicated. However if you look at the evidence regarding stipends, you might be giving your opinion differently. College-athletes that receive scholarships constitute only one out of three athletes.

This is because they are not receiving enough money from their efforts and the larger sum of the money that is coming from the tournaments are actually benefiting NCAA.

However, an average college athlete makes about an average of $289,031 annually in a stipend.

However, while the NCAA asserts that student athletes are only students, the NCAA's own championship timelines compel student athletes to skip classes for playoff games which introduce income.

Considering that, company earns large profits makes it clear that although that it is beneficial for the organization but not the student athlete. This is evident that the college sport should not be taken for granted neither the efforts of a college athlete. This is as serious as any other job and because of that college students should be compensated.
Another reason I am going to give for why college athletes should get paid is because it is benefiting coaches more than college athletes ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"cb5eV3Wh","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Parent)","plainCitation":"(Parent)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":79,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/UJ34YR2B"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/UJ34YR2B"],"itemData":{"id":79,"type":"article-journal","title":"Forward Progress - An Analysis of Whether Student-Athletes Should Be Paid","container-title":"Virginia Sports and Entertainment Law Journal","page":"226","volume":"3","journalAbbreviation":"Va.

I am not saying that coaches should be paid less, I am just saying that college athletes should be deem equal to the coaches since they are doing this at a cost of their education. However, coaches have an actual profession and they are able to earn more bonuses according to the performance of the team and the athletes. According to the college express, it is considered that the only people working extremely hard in this scenario are college athletes. Coaches might be considered as a driving force for the athletes but it is actually upon the athletes how they fulfil the people expectations.

According to the Gale, organizations are generating double standards for the team.

A NCCA would not authorize colleges to advertise a club soccer uniform with the identity of a participant on it, but they might offer the uniform with the rating of the athlete on it. In regional and sometimes national industries, this is easily recognizable. The popular institutions raise vast amounts of money on the above category of product itself, but college athletes whose number is utilized to promote the brand apparently can't see a penny of revenue. Saying that in this case the student athlete is not being manipulated is an exaggeration. This is not it. It extends much further than that.

They are also raking in millions of dollars in athletic sponsor donations. Sure, compensation must be charged to administrators and coaches, not to overlook the college players ' transportation and other expenses. This is actually great considering the major athletic programs such as basketball and football help fund profits for the minor athletic programs since they does not generate the same amount of money. Still it does not justify the fact that college athletes are paid much less than they should be.
Another fact that makes it interesting is that the on the game day, athlete might spend the quarter of total time selling tickets of game which is considered as well-organized ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"DlWpi5cC","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Schott)","plainCitation":"(Schott)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":87,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/3RL3RK6D"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/3RL3RK6D"],"itemData":{"id":87,"type":"article-journal","title":"Give Them What They Deserve: Compensating the Student-Athlete for Participation in Intercollegiate Athletics","container-title":"Sports Law.

Yet, all of that money earned as a result directly goes into the pockets of the directors of NCAA. The major portion of college athlete salary is spent on marketing and advertisement which should be a job of directors of coaches.Yet, instead of getting the money earned from those purchases, it is lost in the way of advertisement. So, the point to ponder here is that the as the coaches are able to make a huge amount of money through all of these benefits, shouldn’t college athletes be deemed worthy of sharing those benefits in the reasonable terms? This does not mean that they should be compensated large sums of money, it should just be a little extra than the amount they are actually receiving so they fulfil their household needs as well apart from the academic needs.

Moreover, they get all types of privileges in college as compared to the non-athlete students such as staying at the luxurious facilities, been recognized as a star on the television and the fame that comes with being a star.

Conclusion
Although, almost every other person has different opinions regarding athletes to be compensated or not.But according to what I have concurred from my research on NCAA and related literature it is certain that college athletes should be compensated more than what they are. Throughout the years, NCAA has evolved and based on the new figures they generate greater profits but in turn pay not enough to the college athletes who spend their energy and time into these sports ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"lkStXIwx","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Brown)","plainCitation":"(Brown)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":83,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/RD8SZVDL"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/RD8SZVDL"],"itemData":{"id":83,"type":"article-journal","title":"Compensation for the student-athlete: Preservation of amateurism","container-title":"Kan.

They should be considered full time employees as the time they give to the sports is equal to the full-time employment. It would be beneficial for the athlete in many ways including the uplifting of morale, encouragement to save money and making a good career out of it.
