College athletes deserve a cut from the athletic revenue even if it's small because the smallest amount of money can also help fund their sports facilities and many more sport accessories and when a athlete brings in profit for a college the college should atleast show gratitude to the athlete by giving them a small cut of the athletic revenue
If colleges start paying athletes, the money has to come from somewhere, so a lot of smaller sports might get cut. I get that athletes bring in money, but it still feels like it would mess up the whole system.
Imagine a college splitting football money among players, and then the swim team has to fundraise for basic stuff. That gratitude point is fair, though, and I am not sure how to argue back. It just feels like someone gets left out.
So my opponents says that only the football team will get a cut but every form of sport team should receive a cut even if it's a small amount because of their contribution
The real issue is whether colleges should turn sports into paychecks, since that changes what school is for. Your revenue point is fair, and I am not sure how to argue back. It just feels like paying some players leaves everyone else worse off.
