- 51: Pay For Student Athletes
- ... not students holding jobs but the agents bribing students. Even by having jobs this will not help the NCAA from sports agents. Another proposed idea is to directly pay student athletes for playing for the college. This idea has been passed around for years but has always been turned down. During the 1970's and 80's, NCAA director Walter Byers wanted to remain status quo. Byers was the only executive director the NCAA ever had. In that capacity he was more responsible than any other person for current policies governing college athletics. He built a reputation as a relentless taskmaster, known for persuasive negotiating skills, creative thinking and attention to detail. Under his leadership, the NCAA became a multimillion industry. Now with his retirement in 1987 ... which NCAA rules now bar them from doing. This could conceivably allow them to endorse products, just as coaches do, 3)Athletes would be free from NCAA rules restricting their ability to move from one college to another, 4)Players could consult freely with agents in making sports career choices, 5)States would amend their workmen's compensation laws to require that major colleges universities provide coverage to varsity athletes( ...

Where do you want to go and how do I plan on achieving to become successful are just a few of the many questions that run through my mind as I plan for college life.

- 54: College Football-bcs
- College Football: Who Is Really No. 1 At the conclusion of each college football season the Bowl Alliance selects the nation’s top football teams to play in select bowls.

With this setup, many fans agree that a true ...
- 55: Personal Writing: Our Big Trip to State College
- Personal Writing: Our Big Trip to State College Overwhelming, there is simply no other way of putting the impact that my first "big trip to State College" had on me. The weekend had the potential to be an explosive one, but I had no idea that it would take the turn it did. We began our trip with a stop at Sheetz, picking up all of the necessary goods, such as gas, beef jerky, and cigarettes. One might be thinking, how can one trip to State College be any different than any other. All that college kids do when they go up to State is drink, dance, and throw-up. Well this particular trip involved my roommate Jason, myself and Jason' ...
- 56: Personal Writing: College
- Personal Writing: College In life people have to make choices, in my life I have had to make many, many choices. I think that my biggest decision or choice would be my application and move to college. This would be considered the biggest decision I have had to make in my life so far. When your senior year in high school rolls around, most people have to start thinking about what they ... decision. Computer engineering (the major that I choose first semester) was a lot more than I expected. I ended up failing Physics, Calculus and Chemistry! In addition to that, I was subject to separation from college. Well, now a decision really had to be made; it was time for me to make a choice. My parents told me to think about other colleges and to think about other things to ...
- 57: Learning Is For Everyone
- June 21, 1999 Learning is for everyone The institution called a university, or many times a community college, is an institution that should welcome anyone who is willing to make the effort to face the challenges that it brings. As William A. Henry III writes, In the real world, though, mostly people go to college to make money (The Museum of Clear Ideals, 146). I point out that there are a variety of different reasons for which people choose to enter into college. Some of these reasons do include the ability to make a higher income. But many also do so to learn a particular function or get a better understanding of a specific field, or to ...
- 58: College Obstacles
- College Obstacles Thirty-one years ago, I came bounding into a world of love and laughter. I was the first Child, the first grandchild, the first nephew, and the primary focus of my entire extended family ... what I could comprehend with the intellect and emotions of a newborn child. This, all thou secure, had not prepared me for the challenages ahead. After I made my decision to enter the band of college bound Students in Nevada, I found out that was the easy part.

- 59: Affirmative Action: Opportunities of Character, Not Color
- ... positions over more qualified non-minorities. Preferential treatment of minorities has caused problems not only in the workplace, but also in our universities throughout the country. Due to these current circumstances, affirmative action policies in college admissions must be eliminated because of the negative effects they have on campuses across the nation. There are numerous arguments that defend the use of affirmative action and advocate its effect on college campuses. Supporters of affirmative action believe that minorities are still disadvantaged and that it is "absolutely necessary to level the playing field" (Wilkins 334). They believe that minorities will never be given a fair chance at college unless diversity is forced upon the campus. Proponents also argue that affirmative action is the best solution to past discrimination and color- blindness, and that without affirmative action the gaps between our races will ...
- 60: College Fraternities
- College Fraternities College fraternities have always struck me as being an organization of guys who spend their time drinking beer and having their "social gatherings" (parties). Just moving to Austin recently (which is by no doubt a "college city") has made me want to know more about the sole purpose of these fraternities. For these reasons I chose to select this culture for my essay. The definition of a fraternity is defined ...
