Grinding through grueling workouts, practices and games every day of the year, combined with rigorous college courses, student-athletes are some of the hardest working people in the country. However, as amateurs, athletes cannot be compensated with anything more than a scholarship. College football has become a multi-million dollar business. Universities continue to make money, while all athletes are given is a scholarship. The biggest issue with this is that the expenses required to attend a college exceed the amount that athletes are awarded in their scholarships. With many of the athletes coming from poor families, athletes are pressured by agents, alumni and fans to take compensation for their hard work. That is illegal under current rules. This raises the question, should college athletes be paid a stipend by the universities as compensation for participating in sports? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/654808-pay-for-play-should-college-athletes-be-compensated
