“No one is making kids go to school to
make money for the colleges and

Conclusion
 From interviewing and reading sources from
websites I agree that student athletes should not be
paid because they are on a full ride scholarship and is
a once in a lifetime opportunity to play at the
national stage. Also they agreed to play at their
university without having the option to be paid for
the services.
