There are ten times as many first-division college teams as professional ones. Some of the best college players in the nation will have no financial or educational benefits after their years of eligibility are up. They made the college money but they didn't receive a cent and now they have nothing to do with their life. College athletes should be paid part of what the college is pulling in. This would eliminate athletic corruption while benefiting the athletes.
All big businesses pay their employees.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association does have some good programs that help athletes in need. This is a great program but there still needs to be more. If these athletes were paid a designated amount of money they would not need financial aid. They should at least be allowed to work to obtain money. If their family has little funds to spare the athlete has no legal way of paying for anything that the scholarship doesn't cover.
