I get why the other side says players put in tons of work, and that seems fair. But paying them might turn college sports into just another job, and I kind of like that it's not all about money. I'm not sure how to argue it more than that.
yes they should be paid because it gives them an actual career instead of playing sport for nothing you could argue that people play college sport for fun but generally being paid and having fun can both exist
The other side treats money as the only fair answer, which I do not really think is right. Honestly, my opponent makes a fair point and I am not sure how to argue back. My gut just says paying players makes college sports feel like a business.
it doesnt make college sports feels like a business but rather sports with support your gut is not going to justify playing sport with your heart but still have to work a 9-5 job to pay your day to day cost
I agree with my opponent that playing for fun and getting paid could both happen, that is fair. But then college sports might just feel like a business, and I am not sure why that bothers me. My gut still says it should stay something else.
