Collegiate Football Salaries

Paying collegiate athletes is unnecessary due to the fact that a league exist where football players are already paid. In this article it addresses compensation within the world of college football, specifically highlighting the salaries and incentives of top coaches, the money made in television rights and how the athletes themselves are not paid. However, the article fails to mention the fact that these football players are in college, that there is another league where the players are paid based on their success. If these players are good enough to believe they should be paid, they should go into the NFL.  These players should not play because the basis for collegiate sports is the fact that they don’t get paid. Paying these college football players would basically create an additional professional league. An additional football league is unnecessary due to the fact that one already exists, one that these players could join, removing the necessity to pay collegiate athletes.
