There's a lot of controversy surrounding the debate about whether student athletes should be compensated financially for their commitment to their teams.

Some people argue that there is not job attached to being a student athlete, while others say it should be implied. But actually, student athletes are the same as regular students, and if they are struggling with schoolwork they are always free to use writing help at writemyessay.today , just like any regular student would if they have a lot of work. Being good at sports shouldn't make you special.

I recently watched a video that, quite frankly, I found to be pathetic. Let me address this video and list some reasons why I believe student athletes should not be paid.

1. Student athletes are not the only people struggling to make ends meet.

There are tons of students who have jobs but still can't afford to pay for anything more than tuition and books - they take out loans to compensate however they can. In fact, the average student will graduate more than $24,000 in debt, while the student athlete will have none whatsoever.

So when I hear that student athletes can't afford McDonalds, I find it to be completely hypocritical.

I get that athletes don't have time to fit a job into their schedules, but that's the path they chose to take - they shouldn't be given priority or special treatment over any other college student who needs the money since they're already getting a free education.

2. According to athletes, their education is often compromised.

Student athletes argue that their education never comes first: if they miss class, it's fine; but if they miss a game, they're in trouble.

Again, this is the path they chose to take. If your education were your priority, you'd invest more time into it.

Clearly, student athletes would love the opportunity to play professionally, so it makes sense to invest more time into the sport than into class.

Other students have different career goals, and manage their time accordingly. That's just how the system works.

3. Athletics isn't the only path to college.

Another argument claims that without being an athlete, they'd never be able to be students.

Student athletes say that sports are their only ticket to college. But, financial aid and federal funds would easily provide compensation for someone in a severe financial situation to attend a public university - in fact, many people attend state schools for close to nothing.

While they may be harder to obtain, there are alternative ways to receive an education.

Some public schools even blow private schools out of the water in terms of academic standings.

4. The education they receive is free.

Student athletes take it a step further and say that there is nothing free about the education they get.

Yes, they have to work for it. That's how life goes. Students who are on academic scholarships have to maintain certain standards just as athletes do.

The bottom line is that athletes are almost always given more scholarship money than anyone else.

So those kids who drained themselves, studying countless hours and working tirelessly, won't even receive the same compensation athletes will.

Mind you, these are the people who more often go on to become innovative changers of the world.

5. Student athletes actually have higher graduation rates.

This video also says that half of student athletes don't even graduate. That statistic is completely false.

According to reports put out by the NCAA, the graduation rate of Division I athletes has continued to outrank the national average.

6. The NCAA is exploitive, but money should be allocated properly.

It then says that the NCAA makes immense earnings off of the hard work of student athletes.

This is very true, as the NCAA raked in close to $1 billion, most of it coming from the $10.8 billion 10-year contract it recently signed with CBS. However, this money should probably be used to make sure college athletes have paid tuition, housing, meals, and healthcare throughout the duration of their contribution.

Maybe it could be used to further the education of these athletes by providing scholarships for graduation programs.

7. No other students are paid for extracurriculars.

To me, this is the most overlooked and relevant reason why student athletes shouldn't be paid.

The video says that they bring such a contribution to universities, raking in millions of dollars. This is true. What's also true is that other students also bring huge contributions to universities.

Students do research, almost always for free, under faculty members. The faculty members publish papers and almost never put the students' names on them. They receive awards, get national recognition, and get huge funds in the forms of grants to continue research.

Sometime the research results in something that is sold for profit.

This makes universities way more appealing, leading them to receive more federal funding and applications. Meanwhile, the student who worked in the lab didn't even receive acknowledgment for his/her contribution, let alone compensation.

Maybe with some type of reform to the NCAA, money could be used in other areas to help athletes out, though it doesn't seem likely.

Even still, student athletes already receive compensation in the form of free education and, often, free housing. Unless we're ready to pay other students for their contributions, we should hold off on paying student athletes.

Although a university paying its student-athletes may sound good in theory, it logistically could cause challenges and difficulties.

No. 1 reason: Student athletes already get a yearly stipend with their scholarships.

Student athletes on scholarship receive yearly stipends to ensure all their expenses are covered. These stipends can vary from school to school, but they usually range from a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars, depending on the location of the school. The stipend is intended to cover the cost of living, including rent and meals not provided by the university. If student-athletes are good stewards of these funds, they could save thousands of dollars by the time they finish college.

No. 2 reason: Student-athletes are provided with multiple types of resources to help them be successful.

In addition to receiving a yearly stipend, student-athletes have their tuition and fees paid for through scholarships for free textbooks and other academic needs. The student-athletes are provided with a high level of resources to make sure they are set up for success inside the classroom while managing their sports' demanding schedules.

No. 3 reason: Student-athletes are set up for success after college, with the potential to make big dollars.

Being a student-athlete means you have developed a work ethic that is very valuable to future employers. Student-athletes have a platform that can be used as an advantage over other job candidates due to their networking opportunities. If student-athletes network at college the right way, they can use that to their benefit in job searches.

No. 4 reason: Other sports could get cut.

If a university starts paying student-athletes, it could negatively affect other sports programs. There would not be enough funds to pay every single student-athlete equally and to be able to keep every single sport. The smaller sports that do not generate enough revenue to sustain the program would definitely get cut. The schools would have to address Title IX issues for equality, which could mean the cutting of athletic programs that may generate revenue but are not Title IX compliant. This would further limit opportunities for future student-athletes. Other areas of an athletic program could be negatively impacted, such as employees taking a pay cut or the maintenance people being laid off. It's a domino effect. Colleges are not swimming in money. This would affect more than just the student-athletes. The athletic department could possibly crumble, and the smaller sports would be no more.

No. 5 reason: Where do you draw the line?

In high school, schools make money off of athletes and games too. Does that mean that high school athletes should also be paid? Does that mean college athletes could be considered professionals instead of amateurs? The hypothetical situations could go on forever. This creates a lot of grey area and room to possibly push the boundaries.

No. 6 reason: Big schools will get bigger, and small schools will get smaller.

It is no secret that the big public powerhouse schools have some very generous, high-profile donors, but what about the small schools with a fraction of the donors? Recruiting would not exist anymore. This would lead to big schools becoming powerhouses, as many donors and recruits would only want to go to those schools because they would be paid significantly more money. As a result, the smaller Division II schools could disappear simply because they cannot compete with the amount of money that bigger Division I schools have.

Student-athletes are not employees of their university, and it would be foolish to treat them like they are.
