The Cristian Science Monitor states how they do not believe in paying college athletes. Receiving an education is a large benefit that should not be taken for granted. As the NCAA continues to build a sports empire, athletes will want to be able to receive some of profits. The author believes that, although athletes should not be paid, they should be able to receive more benefits such as endorsements and medical.
