should college Athletes be paid

college atheletes doing what they know best
College athletes should get paid that is what most people are saying ,the reason being that they generate a lot of money for the college and the sponsors. Most people would strongly disagree with the statement because the athletes get schoolarships to go to varsity and persua a career while playing a certain sports.

reasons why college athletes should not be paid

  • Income generators-  One of the misperceptions of this subject is that all football and basketball programs are extremely profitable. Any football program is going to be expensive when you factor in facilities, equipment and travel.
  • Not enough- Spurrier is proposing that athletes should be given somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,500 to $4,000 per year.
The debate has been going for years now but there has not been a solution that benefits both the athletes and the college. Other students are being payed under the table while others do not get anythng at all. in a way this is corruption. when asked why some students get paid under the table response was "it is done to motivated them"


College is suppose to be a place where the students are taught not payed for their services. Most of the expenses the college pays for it example the kits and the only time these athletes use their own money is when they pay for transport but not always. students come up with ways to raise funds.

A risk worth taking

Frampton at one of his games

The 25-year-old will defend his Commonwealth and IBF inter-continental super bantamweight titles against the Canadian in front of his home crowd in Belfast on Saturday evening.Frampton feels that a game against Steve Molitor will increase the chances of him becoming the world champion, this will give him the recognition that he has been working so hard for. Frampton told the Sky Sport News that ''there definitely is a risk , but i am at the stage where i want to have big fights ''.

Steve Molitor a 32-year old has been in the industry for some time now, he has more experience in the field. He is rated number nine by Ring magazine. If  Frampton manages to win the game it will be such a great achievement for him also showing that he has grown as an individual.

Steve Molitor shared his view on the matter "IF i want to be a three time world champion then i have to beat this kid , I have been out of the ring enjoying my life for ten months and on Saturday night you will see a new hungry Steve Molitor.

 Growth is very important in each career and taking risks is what most people have to do so that they get ahead. The results might not be what we have hoped for but the most important thing one can do is realise the mistakes that were made learn from them. This game most definitely wont be an easy one. As a fan i hope Frampton gets his shine because he has been working very hard to get where he is right now , he deserves to win.

An honest mistake can create bad publicity

a banner that has a spelling error 

Red lion district sponsored a school with a soccer field and they put up their banner at the field. The sad part is that the banner had a spelling error instead of them saying ''Public'' they said ''Pubic'' ,this has created bad publicity for the organisation. Most peolpe were not even aware that there is such a company that is helping out the schools but because of this mistake they do.

Don Dimoff a marketing and communications manager of Red Lion said that "The mistake has put Red Lion on the map, it's in South-Central Pennyslvania ,in case you were wondering -and drew all kinds of unwanted attentionn from outside the community to the school's sponsorship efforts'' . The manager clearly has to do  some damage control to fix the problem.

In the article the manager said that the mistake was not made by them ,it was made by the sign company. this does not give him credibility because now his shifting the blame ,yes we understand that the sign company is somehow responsible for this mistake but as a manager he should have checked the final product before signing it out.

Red Lion has done a lot of good things for the community. The sad part is that general public will remember the organisation by this mistake. It is going to take them some time to erase this matter in people's minds.
