From both standpoints on should college athletes be paid, there are many different takes. Looking at opinions from a blog: Should College Athletes Be Paid?, some say that athletes shouldn't be paid but should be covered medically, another says they should be paid because they are the ones putting all of the work on the line, another might say who is going to pay them and what is an equal salary for everyone, and also someone will say which sports will be paid and what about women's sports, etc… Overall the point is there really is no exact right answer and that this is all really opinion and nobody can predict what will happen but can only predict the odds of what will happen.
My opinion on this take is that I think that athletes should be covered medically meaning that the athletes shouldn't be having to pay money out of their own pockets to cover their medical bills that have been caused because of playing the sport at the university. But for whether or not the athletes should be paid, I think that they should be paid. I think though that the only way it could work would be the big income making sport including football, basketball both men’s and women’s, and maybe even baseball. The reason why I think the other sports shouldn't really be paid because they don’t make as much revenue for the school and that it would just be wasting money on paying those athletes. You could even say that maybe it should be up to the university on which sports should be decided on being paid. I also think though that the athletes do not deserve millions of dollars but maybe just minimum wage or a little more because it wouldn't really even make close to 1% of the that programs revenue.
