Should college athletes get paid?   stance: no, they shouldn't get paid:
College athletes do get paid. Going to college costs money, if they are good enough and maintain a gpa they receive scholarships which are essentially debt relief. There is no difference between cashing a check for $1000 an using it to pay a credit card and a scholarship for $1000. The question here then, is not whether or not college athletes get paid, but should college sports be for profit? If it is a state school the answer is automatically no.
