getting college football athletes the pay they need
The Issue
This petition was created because college football players need to start being paid salaries for their work. Imagine working 50 hours a week and putting your body on the line for a corporation paying you nothing. Would you like to do that job, probably not right? That job is college football.
Negatives to not getting college football players salaries:
players are living week to week just trying to pay for things like food
players don't have the time to get a job because of the amount of work they do
The schools that are going to give money have a massing recruiting advantage
The schools will lose money because of players leaving causing the football program to lose money on ticket sales
Player's grades aren't doing good
20% of NCAA players are homeless
NIL deals only benefit people with big names
Some schools say they can't afford to pay their students
Advantages to giving players salaries:
recruiting advantage for the school
They will be more focused on school and their sport
Gives players relief by not needing to worry about money problems
More time to focus on school assignments
If a player gets injured they can have money to fall back on cause they can lose their scholarship and having that money could help finish paying for school
When players leave school if they are not being drafted then they will have money and a degree to start their lives which would be very helpful to them
