The swimmer, Joseph Schooling, received a $740,000 bonus for winning this medal. This picked up major attention from the NCAA.]]> 2021-05-17 18:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532743858 2014 NCAA Tournament Player Shabazz Napier jlemon0155 https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532757518 My opinion is that college athletes simply need to be paid to be able to survive in the harsh college life. Shabazz Napier, talked in an interview about how some nights he would go to bed hungry because he had no extra money and did not have time to work a job to make money to survive. He said that he would see people with his jersey and it would be nice if he could make some of that money.]]> 2021-05-17 18:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532757518 NCAA's Reaction to Joseph Schooling jlemon0155 https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532774967 The NCAA president stated that there was an absurd amount of money made by Schooling, and they aren't sure how they are going to fix this rule since most athletes receive around 15 grand for winning a silver medal. This is the main reason why I believe that college athletes need to be compensated. They are competing at the highest level, and when one athlete gets a big win the NCAA wants to take it away even though it fits within the rules of their organization.]]> 2021-05-17 18:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532774967 The Big Rule Change jlemon0155 https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532787968 A new plan has been set to go into effect in the 2021-2022 school year. The plan states, “a rule change allowing student-athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness, so long as the college or university they attend does not pay them directly”]]> 2021-05-17 19:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlemon0155/3ngtayjc6ywulyag/wish/1532787968
