Should college players get paid?

College players should not be paid because they get scholarship to attend university that cost 30,000 to 60,000 and more sometimes also it can lessen the intensity of the sport and competing. Being a student athlete should should require the athlete that receive a a full ride to a top school should be a big enough payment because although they are good they at the school to still receive some type of education which some athletes do not receive today because they already feel comfortable enough that they are going to the pros but because they are not payed yet they continue to work hard in their craft. Which leads to the next point that student athletes if were payed would not have no motive to go to the league because they are already making top dollar in college which would probable cause a lot of college drop outs and less views and fans of the NCAA because the games will just be like pro games. In conclusion I do think that athletes should be taken care of but not given a salary because they do generate a lot of money for school.
