The Dynamics in Student-Athletes Compensation in the United States of America

Abstract

The issue surrounding the compensation of college athletes has been surrounded by a lot of controversies due to the fact that these athletes have to balance grueling workouts, practices, and games with a rigorous college curriculum and yet make no money despite collegiate football being a multi-billion-dollar industry. This is based on the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) stipulation that student-athletes can only be compensated through a scholarship even though college football brings in millions of dollars for universities. This paper presents a review on the dynamics in student-athletes compensation in the United States of America where case studies are also presented.
