ge debate is should players have the right to their likenesses? If you go to a bookstore in Jacksonville you would probably find a Rex Grosseman jersey for sale for about one-hundred-and-fifty dollars. Now even though it has his name on it and his number none of the money that was used to purchase the jersey will ever see Grossemans hand’s, the money usually goes to many departments including the Dean of the school but none of the money goes to the athletic department. So who has the right to decide if the kids who put in their hearts and souls into their sport should not get paid? The NCAA has banned college players from receiving extra benefits from anybody. Recently though the NCAA has begun to re-think their decision on this subject, with players and college getting caught all the time for giving and receiving extra benefits the NCAA are starting to think about reforming their laws. It is detrimental to both the school’s name and the player’s for being caught for extra benefit scandals. Some people say that there is too much under the table payment going on to enforce anyways. If the athletes got what they deserved and got paid to play this would not be an issue. Paying athletes to play should be legal they put too much time into it not to get paid. So while the coaches get paid more than the President of the United States does players sit back and have to be content with the sweat off their back as payment. Without the players coaches would not get paid as much as they do nobody goes to see a college game to see the coach in action they go to see the players. Nobody turns on the television to see how well the coach will react in a game they watch it to see their team, their players in action. So there is much conflict in the world of college sports about where the money should go. Should it all go to the schools and coaches? Or should the players that make the games possible and make the coaches salaries and jobs...
