The More Money, The More Problems

NCAA athletes being bribed with and/or taking money from schools, sports agents, and even school alumni has been a big deal ever since it was outlawed by infamous and sometimes famous NCAA itself.  Today one of the biggest concerns of the association is athletes taking money under the table in order to keep them comfortable while they perform for the school.  This whole article is centered around why giving money to athletes in ways besides scholarships, the best gear, television appearances and basically nationwide fame may not be the only ways an amateur player could be paid.  The author breaks down almost every way these huge division one athletic programs receive money each season which includes endorsements with every huge company and even television contracts for their games to be aired.  He even goes as far as comparing the athletes to slaves as far as not being payed in case for their 'labor'.  All in all writing a paper in which opinions backed with facts is the best way to go about an argument but at the end of the day its still an opinion.

  In Chapter One of the book Good Reasons (2010) the author break down and explain the differences that separate normal arguments from arguing in a college level paper.  The things they have brought out that make up this huge difference are, credible research, arguing responsibly, expanding the reader's knowledge of the subject with the detail of your analysis and many other reasons.  This chapter was created in order to identify the skills of writing the readers will need to perfect in order to adequately persuade their audience with the arguments they pose.

This is the link to the first page I found as I attempted to find a blog that would interest me on this website.  This blog consists of mainly pictures that show the process all kinds of guitars go through to be created.  I thought this was great because I am a guitar player and I believe that the work put into making the guitar is just as important and beautiful as the music that will be played on these instruments is.
