This particular project stood out to me because i wrote a couple papers in high school about this topic of should college athletes be paid. Through reading your poster, I learned that the NCAA is a $6 billion company and has been greatly profiting off of its athletes’ likeness for years. One question i have for you is what are the repercussions that will come if the NCAA decides to allow college athletes to profit off of their personal brand and talent.

I think that this debate is really fascinating over whether or not college students should be paid, and your topic really interested me. I completely agree that college students should be compensated because of the multi-billion dollar industry they support.

This promise of education that universities offer is not equal to the value of these D-1 athletes. Great poster overall!

However, while their are upsides…
