Original- There is already corruption and shady activity within college recruiting and teams including multiple cases of athletes being caught violating these rules put in place such as now Pro Bowl NFL wide receiver AJ Green of the Cincinnati Bengals who was found violating the NCAA guidelines when selling his jersey. The irony of this is his college made thousands of dollars from selling jerseys with his name on it all profits going directly to the university. These are just one of the cases of how college athletes are being taken advantage of that is outlined in the article. Many of these problems I have always felt a connection towards the athletes and their needs. As an athlete and now college athlete myself I understand the difficulty of college athletics paired with the academic stresses. Along with any at home or out of the classroom and field problems I can’t imagine being able to balance everything without any help and compensation coming from everything these athletes are surely putting into their respective sports.
