I wouldn't advocate paying them directly, but given that they make money for the college, I would think they could be offered credit (the financial kind a la store credit, not academic credit) with that college that they could use for themselves (if they don't have a sports scholarship) or other members of their family to pay for expenses at that college. Like, say, if Bob plays Calvinball for Crazy Go Nuts University on a sports scholarship, and earns a lot of money for the school, he could be awarded credit. His little brother or future child, or spouse, or whomever could get an education at CGNU paid for with that. Side: No

Although I would certainly like to get more money per game. Generally, it is quite difficult to study at a university, I am lucky that I have https://essayreviewexpert.com/review/ Side: No
