College Athletes Paid

Jughead said:
Should college athletes be paid? Please explain why or why not.



Maybe instead of paying them, just deduct money from their tuition?



I don't think they should be paid until they reach semi-pro to pro levels of that sport
 
Well if their games are selling out arena's then they are making money for the college. So why should they have to also pay for their tuition of they are generating income for the college they are attending/paying?
 
They're already getting almost full scholarships to play in different places around the United States. Why should they get paid?
 
It would be hard to go to school, play college sports, and have enough money to support yourself, even with a full scholarship. I personally believe they should get minimum wage for all the practices and games they play, including all the time they spend on the road.
