Opposition of paying college athletes.

This is a highly debated topic, which has many facts for both sides. Athletes should not get payed until they reach the proffesional level. If we start paying college athletes, it will turn into a business. What's next, paying high school athletes? There's a reason that no amateur athletes around the United States gets payed. It is actually illegal. There are laws in place, as well as ncaa laws that prohibit this. Also, how would the money be spread out? Would you give an equal amount of money to each college athlete? There are thousands of college footballs players alone. If you started paying football players, then you would also have to the other sports too. This includes women's water polo, golf, and other sports that are considered to be unpopular. It would result in lawsuits and cause chaos across the world of sports. College athletes already get huge amounts of money in the form of scholarship, housing, and food. That is more than enough. If you started paying these athletes, I guaranttee that many of them would spend it on marijuana/drugs. The process would be way too complicated and would take away from the college experience of these athletes. Also, it would take away from the school spirit. The athletes would stop focusing on their schoolwork and more on money, which could impair their playing abilities as well.
