As a non-profit organization, we put our money where our mission is: equipping student-athletes to succeed on the playing field, in the classroom and throughout life. The NCAA and our member colleges and universities together award $2.7 billion in athletic scholarships every year to more than 150,000 student-athletes. In addition, we provide almost $100 million each year to support student-athletes’ academic pursuits and assist them with the basic needs of college life, such as a computer, clothing or emergency travel expenses. Finances

We also put on 90 championships in 24 sports, protect student-athletes with catastrophic-injury insurance coverage and fund a number of scholarship, grant and internship programs. A small percentage of that revenue is used to operate the NCAA’s national office, including the operation of championship events. But in the end, more than 90 cents of every dollar the NCAA generates goes to our member institutions to support student-athletes.  Finances

Public Perception The typical Division I college football player devotes 43.3 hours per week to his sport — 3.3 more hours than the typical American work week. NCAA’s  tournament schedules require college athletes to miss classes for nationally televised games that bring in revenue. The NCAA currently produces nearly $11 Billion in annual revenue from college sports — more than the estimated total league revenues of both the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League.

These student-athletes bring in an incredible amount of money. Public Perception These student-athletes bring in an incredible amount of money. Paying college athletes would help to begin creating a sense of financial awareness

The Keller case over video games gets separated from O'Bannon and is scheduled for trial in March 2015. Even with the overwhelming amount of evidence in regards to the imbalance on college payments. Coaches and assistant coaches being payed multimillion dollar salaries to coach Division I sports some still believe that athletes should not be paid.

The NCAA organization as well intended and responsible they wish to protect armature athletes they are crating mistrust and double talk. The NCAA wants to hinder more on the ability of athletes to support themselves and manage the monetary aspects that are associated with college sports. Television deal, clothing sportswear contracts all hinder on the integrity of the overall program by not allowing amateur to either be paid or have more control over their own likeness
