Blog 9 Argument & Counter argument

My main argument so far is that college athletes deserve to be paid. With the amount of revenue they create, they deserve a piece of the pie. Stipends are a good start to paying college athletes (they can get paid up to 5k a year) but this is not enough. The amount that they receive should be proportional to the amount they generate. Obviously there can never be a fixed rate on how much athletes should receive, but some sort of system needs to be developed. The counter arguments that I am going to attack are given from the NCAA, and the three main arguments for not paying college athletes being 1. they are amateurs 2. they get free education already and 3. there is not enough money to pay these athletes. In each of these arguments presented by the NCAA, I will line up effective counter arguments to further my point.
