I think college athletes should get some form of payment. Most of these college athletes came through scholarship, roughly around 27 to 35%. And from these small percentage of people only less than 2% actually become professional athletes. This shows colleges decisively pick professional athletes from there highschool days, and bring up simply for them to use them to promote a colleges sport. However, this isnt enough for college athletes, they require a simple merit for there time and energy spent. In the united states, college athelticism is a very big thing as it is seen as the final frontier before professional sport.

True college athletes tend to get scholarships and equipment, however that only contributes to there athletic life. At the college stage, you need to be thinking about the future, and a good portion of college students already pick up jobs such as a fast food worker; why not at least give them some sort of payment in college? After all only less than 2% end up going professional.

College sports programes may lose money, but that has nothing to do with the athlete. The athlete is simply there to perform; he or she doesnt contrl what the college does with the program revenue.
