Prompt 1:Should college athletes get paid? Why or why not?
Prompt 2:What do you think will happen with the hole in the middle of downtown Lexington?
Prompt 3:What do you think the UN or Us will do about Russia?
I think that college players should definitely get paid. The schools, channels, and everyone else involved all make money. It is unfair that the players are the only ones that make no money when they are the ones that make the product, making it somewhat like slavery. Obviously, players from different schools would make different amount of money. The University of Kentucky basketball team would make much more money than the Transylvania University basketball team, giving they play on national TV, with commercial breaks, plus tickets are very expensive. Also, different sports would make different amounts of money. Again, due to ticket sales and the platform they play on, Kentucky basketball would make more than Kentucky soccer, given the soccer team sells much cheaper tickets, and rarely plays on TV much less ESPN. The players should get a percentage, no matter how small, since they are the main reason money is even made. The small amount of money would help feed them and pay for their college, which is very tough on most of them.
