[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They get paid by being able to attend college for free. They are lucky to have a "talent" that gets them in because they probably wouldn't be accepted otherwise. What they make of the opportunity is up to them.[/quote] This simply isn’t true. The vast majority of college athletes don’t get scholarships- D3 has none, and even D1 has limited scholarships dollars, so most kids who do get a scholarship will get a few thousand bucks knocked off the cost of tuition. You see a few sports played by a couple dozen schools on TV. Those athletes represent the smallest, tiniest fraction of all college athletes. Pay, don’t pay, give scholarships, don’t. Kids who love their sports and love to compete will still play in college, just like theater kids act in college, and musicians play in college, and newspaper kids write in college. [/quote]
