Research Blog #1: Final Project Idea
For my final project I wanted to stem off of the debate involving compensation for college athletes. It has been an ongoing debate as to whether or not college athletes deserve payment for their services to the school, mainly because big universities make so much revenue off of their sports teams (take Rutgers football for example). I am in favor of athlete compensation and agree with the many people who say college athletes are almost treated as "indentured servants." Of course, I find this to be a complex issue and there would be plenty of details (such as who gets paid, how much, etc) that I believe could be researched and outlined in a final project.

This is an interesting issue and very much related to questions of privatization. But rather than choose a side in the debate, try to analyze what the debate says about people's attitudes toward college sports and what those attitudes suggest about privatization. Don't write an opinion piece; write an analytic essay on the topic.
