In my opinion it is necessary for all college athletes to get paid because how otherwise are they going to be able to do their sport. Like it's insane how all of these very very big paychecks go only to the small group of very good athlete. If we truly want the young to succeed we should give them the resources too. And that's why I believe that we should. Of course. Pay College Athletes.
EnviroChampAGAINST
If colleges start paying athletes, the practical consequence is that a lot of schools will have to cut other sports or raise costs somewhere else. I just think that turns college sports into more of a business, and I am not sure that is a good trade.

Well I think that now in this generation it is more important than ever to let these These athletes get the resources to move if anything. Like I understand. Their education is very important, but second up it's definitely their movement. How otherwise are they going to be able to learn? We really, really, really need kids in this generation to move their way. The bodies that if anything their health is the most important.
EnviroChampAGAINST
The real question is whether paying athletes helps college sports overall or just turns them into a business. My opponent makes a fair point about supporting young athletes, and I am not really sure how to argue back. I just keep feeling that payment would make the whole thing feel smaller and more commercial.
Round 3
NO

I completely understand the point that you say that they might turn into some kind of business, but how otherwise are they going to survive? If we don't give them the resources, then there will be no other way.
EnviroChampAGAINST
I agree with my opponent that athlete health matters, and I am not sure how to argue with that. My gut feeling is still that paychecks would make college sports feel like a business first, and I just do not like that.
