One of the most talked about and debated topics of college sports the last decade has been whether or not collegiate athletes should be paid for their talents and revenue they generate for their universities.
This debate only drew further attention after Duke’s perennial all-star and projected NBA lottery draft pick Zion Williamson suffered a knee sprain injury late in the Blue Devils’ season, sidelining him for the time being.
The question people are now asking is whether or not he should finish out his collegiate season if he gets cleared to play. This is where the question “should collegiate athletes be paid” debate comes into heavy play.
