With the NCAA March Madness underway, the question of whether or not college athletes has been brought into light. Many sports experts and journalists such as Robert Lipsyte of ESPN.COM reason that college basketball players simply are not being compensated enough. Players receive a full four-year tuition scholarship and access to special tutoring centers in order to help insure their education. Critics are reliant on a wide array of weak and hypothetical situations concerning athletes being cheated of a proper learning experience.
The responsibility of learning rests on the players, who had to have confronted this issue throughout their time in high school. Following a sport such as basketball going into college is a commitment that shows the athlete is seeking to make a career out of it. Not everyone can become a star basketball player in their league and even less will make it to the NBA. A player who confronts this situation towards the end of their college career should come to the realization that they can find other professions using the education that they received for absolutely no cost. That safety net is the most important things that college athletes possess.
