Students who play for colleges are supposed to provide the best at the level they play, but the questions that begs answers is why despite providing the best, they are not paid for it. According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, the reason why these students do not receive payment is to ensure that they are protected from being exploited by professional and other commercial entities (Armstrong & Nick 112). The argument is that the college students are amateurs and shouldn’t be influenced by monetary incentives as is the case with professional players. However, this argument does not hold any water because these athletes are required to work at their sports just the way professionals do. To many students, the sports are like their work since they are willing to put in all the necessary efforts to produce the best.
