The NCAA is no different. They don’t care about the student athletes well being as proven by the simple fact that “85 percent of college athletes on scholarship live below the poverty line”(text 1 line 23). While, the people running the league such as coaches average salaries are up to “...1.64 million dollars” (text 2 line 22). That is ludicrous that the players get paid nothing while the coach who has a job because of the player makes that much on average per year. The National Collegiate Athletic Association also does not provide security or a net to catch a struggling athlete. The only form of payment college athletes get are scholarships and as shown in text 2 “most scholarships are revocable” (Text 2 line 8). This means that if an athlete is not doing well they could risk no longer being able to pay for and attend college. If that’s not bad enough “Players are essentially working full time jobs while going to college” (text 2 line 15). Athletes are spending all this time on the field and not being able to go out and get part time jobs to stay above the poverty line and therefore; should be compensated with pay
