My research paper topic has changed since my last blog post. My new topic will be about student athletes being paid during their collegiate career. A few research questions I have would include, why are student athletes not paid in college or can universities realistically afford to pay athletes while maintaining their budget? Another question, could paying athletes have more of a negative impact on them? Student athletes receive free clothing, accessories, and medical treatment their entire collegiate career. So, would paying them affect these amazing perks? Below are three academic sources that will help answer one if not all my research questions.
