Yes. In my point of view, I believe that the current system explores the labor and talent of athletes, but they must be paid. Okay. Even though there are students or college students in the middle school or high school, they must be paid. There are four reasons for my point of view that I believe college athletes should be paid. The first one is generous of massive revenue. College sports, particularly football and basketball, there is billions of dollars. Tots, coaches, broadcasters, and university provide immediately, while the athletes are the actual stars of the show. Historically, reserved only scholarship, which some argue doesn't represent paramarkey value. The second one is the full-time reality. Being a college athlete is equivalent to a full-time job. With training, travel, games, and media obligations, athletes often have a little time for part-time work making it difficult to afford paying living expenses. The next one is risk of career injury. Always put their bodies on the line. If they suffer a career injury, they lose their potential professional income. Pro-parentists argue they deserve compensation to help secure their financial future. And the last one is fundamental fairness In other fields if you pose a high demand skill that generates millions in revenue you are compensated Why should college support be the expansion So, here are the four reasons. Let me ask you some questions. Just imagine that. If someone is working a full-time job with playing a basketball at a young age, And, unexpectedly, at a glance, if they endure or if they have some accident, what they will do? If they do a full-time job, what do you do? What are you going to do? Because their potential, their work, their energy, their time are invested on a full-time job. So what do you do? What they will do? So I believe that they must be paid. And if they enjoy on some parties while working, they have time, they have potential on the other speak like education. And if they study signs or something, they have time for making. So they should be paid. Fi Thank you.

Let’s start with what we can agree on: college athletes put in insane hours, generate billions for their schools, and deserve fair treatment. But paying them a salary isn’t the only—or best—way to achieve that.
Here’s the thing. Most college athletes aren’t future pros. The vast majority will never play a down in the NFL or a minute in the NBA. Paying them turns a scholarship—which already covers tuition, room, board, and books—into a cash transaction. That changes the entire nature of college sports. It blurs the line between amateur and professional, and it pressures schools to treat athletes like employees rather than students. Once you open that door, you can’t close it.
And who pays for this? Smaller schools can’t afford it. You’ll get a system where a few powerhouse programs pay their stars while everyone else falls behind. That’s not fairness—it’s a bidding war disguised as reform.
