In the current structure of college sports, yes, especially division 1, as the demands of the child make it extremely difficult if not impossible to have an education experience that matches the typical experience for a noncollege athlete. The fairness factor too, if you consider the amount of money colleges make off the fruit of the entertainment brought by the students, it makes sense to give them a portion, especially considering how much money coaches are being paid. My core arguement though, is that the current educational system is flawed, especially at high competition division 1 schools. The athletes become barely students, there are numerous cases of top athletes being push along with easy classes, corruption, and more cases that we probably don't know about. It may seem like disprove the impossible arguement, but if you simply look at the 2 core pieces of means and motive, and pair that with human nature, and history as our sample size, we know this is a set up that lends itself to fraud, cutting corners, special treatment. The core of my arguement is that their needs to be a firmer line on what is a student, what is an athlete, and what is a student-athletes.. and making sure that student-athletes are as such. Also you can look at the reasons students go to school, is it for education or atheltics? Are they taking up a spot in a foundational class, just so they can go pro freshman or sophmore year? Whose spot are they taking, someone that actually as interest in pursuing something related to the class at hand or needed for their general transcript. Theres also the layer of gambeling now, college students are pressured to win, or even lose in some cases, as there is money on the line, and this can put these young adults in a vulnerbale position, one they may not want to be in.. The level of stress, corruption, and even fatalities... you may say the same is true for professional athletes outside college, and there is an arguement to made for that as well, but kids in these positions are even more vulnerable and isolated and at a young developmental age. this is a complex topic, and really depends on the scope being discussed

your arguement is too simple. money is given to athletes and programs that make money, volleyball often is subsidized from the money made from that qbs play

An arguement based off a single person's feelings is not an arguement with real merit. you didnt address the points with any sizable logic
