Paying College Athletes

Hello! From the 5 shot Friday podcast when you were discussing whether or not college athletes should be paid.... well, they absolutely should be paid. I am a former D1 pac-12 NCAA collegiate athlete. I played women's soccer. During our off-season we played 20 hours per week, as much as a part-time job, while being in school full-time. During the actual season, we would play about 30 hours, not including travel time for games. That being said, the college soccer team was allotted 4 full-ride scholarships for an entire team of 22 players. That means those four scholarships had to be dived up between all those players, making it very rare for someone's entire school to be paid for. This is a problem because with the amount of time we spend in school and training we do not have enough time to work and make money. So, we are left with a substantial amount of schooling to pay for and no time to earn money.

So backing up the point, the schools make soooo much! It's time to share or provide.
