Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explain why collegiate athletes should be paid and the financial impact of paying them. The study looks at how the NCAA’s student-athlete model has exploited collegiate athletes and denied them from receiving a share of the revenues they generate each year. It includes the reasons for paying players, and the troubles athletes go through because of the way the NCAA is orchestrated. The goal is to determine the financial effect of paying athletes across the NCAA, as well as by divisions and conferences. Additionally, the financial statements of the NCAA and some of its Division I schools were analyzed to determine discrepancies and weaknesses in the reporting process that misinform the public on the state of most athletic departments. The study focuses on Division I athletic departments, as well as football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball players. Through financial databases, interviews, and court cases, the study aims to identify the problems with the current NCAA system while addressing the financial impact of paying collegiate athletes.
