Should student-athletes be paid? #tellusatoday

With millions made in ads and high salaries for coaches, we asked our followers on Twitter if NCAA players should get paid during March Madness? Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

I don't see why they shouldn't get paid. March Madness wouldn't be possible without them. It might keep the players in school longer.

— @CarterSeverns

Nope. They are still amateurs. They get paid enough off scholarships.

— @T_Prehn

Yes, they should absolutely be paid in the form of stipends/fellowships. This type of student aid is very common in academia.

— @TheFeministGOP

No. They get full scholarships, academic support, celebrity status, plenty of perks and sometimes NBA money in their future.
