This year an advocacy group the national college players association came out with a study on the average worth of college athletes. the numbers they came up with were astounding. The average college football player is worth $121,000 while the average college basketball player is worth $265,000. What is truly incredible is that with the worth of these athletes being so high they still receive no money for their worth. the universities receive all the money while the athletes take all the risk. Obviously tuition does not cost over 100,000 dollars so it is obvious that this is a feasible thing to accomplish for most schools. It is a reasonable thing to ask that college student receive tuition for income they bring to the school. If not they may resort to other things to receive money to go to school and pay for a room and food. lets stop this atrocity of universities taking advantage of college athletes.
