Included in this, if they receive/accept any outside money that isn't from the university for their hard work, their scholarships get revoked and are deemed ineligible, so they can never play college sports again aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400780232 2022-11-28 19:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400780232 They Generate more than $1 billion for the NCAA aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400784327 2022-11-28 19:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400784327 What can we do in order to avoid taking advantage them? aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400785412 2022-11-28 19:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400785412 If you allow 10% of the revenue to go towards athletes funds AFTER they graduate, that's more than $10 million split between 300-400 players aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400787229 2022-11-28 19:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400787229 Giving them more than Just a scholarship aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400788110 2022-11-28 19:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2400788110 This allows financial security for themselves, and as well as their families.

The year after, their application rates shot up by 30% because of their sports team. All that money was paid to them, and not a dime went to the athletes responsible for this. aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402870607 2022-11-30 02:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402870607 The athletes feel "underrepresented" and sense they're being robbed of money, time, and energy aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402873026 2022-11-30 02:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402873026 22% of African American football players and 37% of African American basketball players graduate with significantly lower grades than their fellow undergrad classmates aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402880774 2022-11-30 02:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402880774 A case that stole national attention was when the NCAA fined and deemed players ineligible because someone paid for Ohio state players to get tattooed, and they deemed that it was exploitation. Players were not allowed to return until they paid the cost of the tattoos back. aae103 https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402883217 2022-11-30 02:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aae103/15gdfhxlqcx94h8y/wish/2402883217 Coaches have admitted to keeping players in watered down majors in order to keep them eligible so they can play.
