Transcript of Inquiry iv
Effect on Universities
• According to USA Today, only 23 out of the 228 at
NCAA Division I public schools made enough
money to cover all of their own expenses in 2012.
16 of those schools had to receive subsidies to
help cover those expenses.
Andre Agassi
"I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.”
Poverty Aspect
• Most collegiate athletes do not come from the best backgrounds.
• 86% of Division I college athletes are below the poverty line.
Reggie Bush
• Raised by a single mother in San Diego, CA
• Recruited to play football and the University of Southern California
• While he was there his mother and step father received over $100,000 and a new house courtesy of the university
• These benefits cost Reggie his Heisman trophy and USC 16 wins including the National Championship
Revenue
• Last year, Ohio State’s football program generated revenue of $60,837,342. No football player saw a cent of that money.
• Last year, the NFL made 9 billion dollars in total revenue. The players all see absurd amounts of money due to the large revenue that the NFL generated .
Revenue
• While Ohio State cannot afford to pay their players as much as NFL players, they would be able to give the better players around $300,000 a year.
• Their basketball team brought in $18,872,400 in revenue. Given the smaller team size, the players would receive a larger share. The better players could receive $725,000.
Interview with Jim Schaus
• I conducted an interview with Ohio University athletic director Jim Shaus on the terms of whether to pay college athletes.
• He was not for paying athletes.
• His main reasons were that they already get full-ride scholarships, it would turn college campuses into a professional environment, and there is no perfect plan that will please everyone.
