College sports are fun and athletes work hard, I get that. But paying them still feels wrong to me. It would make college feel like pro sports, and I just think school should stay about school, not salaries.
Imagine a student who just plays for school getting a paycheck. My opponent makes a fair point about costs, honestly I am not sure how to argue back, but it still feels like school should not be paying salaries.
My opponent makes a fair point that pay teaches sports reality. I am not sure how to argue back. Still, college is a place to learn, not a job. Once salaries start, it stops feeling like school to me.
