This article takes an interesting perspective in criticizing the way in which "pay for play" defenders are "all talk no action". It conveys a clear point that in order to prevent all of the scandals that occur in collegiate athletics, the players must be paid a commission.]]> 2018-02-09 20:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230190080 0159082 https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230193762 *For argument*
Basically argues that out of the billions of dollars used to make network deals, some of that money should go to the players that perform/entertain to even make those deals possible. If athletes aren't paid, then they are essentially employees without compensation. Additionally, he argues that the argument of equality has no basis because the money should only go to the athletes that participate in the revenue-producing events.]]> 2018-02-09 20:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230193762 0159082 https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230299233 *Neutral argument
(presents both sides)*
This article presents an initial point against paying college athletes. It makes the common arguments that scholarships are enough payment, and it presents a logistical  mess if revenue-generating sports were paid but lesser followed sports were not paid. Then the article introduces a counterargument that refutes all of the claims made in the previous viewpoint.]]> 2018-02-10 19:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230299233 0159082 https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230299867 *Neutral argument*
This article is straight from the NCAA's website and simply states the rules that are in place regarding the amateurism. While the presented rules are designed to ensure the preservation of amateurism in college athletics, the article, itself, does not convey any bias or opinion towards on side of the issue or the other. This would act as a source of information regarding the current regulations that are in place.]]> 2018-02-10 19:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230299867 0159082 https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230300198 *Discus Source*

This article emphasizes the importance of keeping the current scholarship/financial aid program in tact. It claims putting athletes on a salaried payroll creates an entire new labor industry and takes the "student" out of "student-athlete"]]> 2018-02-10 19:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230300198 0159082 https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230303689 *Against argument*
This US News article argues the distinction between college and professional athletics. It primarily emphasizes that college athletics are merely a "vehicle" for some athletically gifted people to obtain a college education.]]> 2018-02-10 20:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230303689 0159082 https://padlet.com/0159082/55sc4vnrx6o5/wish/230304230 *Political Cartoon*
