All Play, No Pay

College athletes should be paid. They put in about 40 hours a week to play their sport and don’t get compensated.

Dear Mr/Mrs.President,

College athletes should be paid. They put in about 40 hours a week to play their sport and don’t get compensated. College athletes put their bodies on the line and go hard everyday and don't get a penny. Millions of people watch these college athletes. The NCAA makes billions and can't give college athletes a couple thousand? College coaches get paid millions by the school and college athletes get nothing. This system does not seem very fair. Everybody expects these kids to be responsible and giving them a little bit of money can teach them to be responsible with money.

Sincerely, 

Frank
