Should college athletes be paid?

yes

Side Score: 1
VS.

no

Side Score: 5

Since colleges send recruiters out to scout for these college athletes and big money is involved, then the college athletes should get a slice of that monetary pie.

On the other hand, the college atheletes should be made to pay for the chance to evaluate their worth in the real competitive world and it is from this stage they get the confidence to go pro or head towards the olympics or decide that their future lies in a different world. Paying college athletes would render them as professional students, which goes against the very definition of students. If you paid college athletes, then you should also pay college students for their performance as students, which is an idea that is on the border of ethics.
