This document discusses the issue of whether NCAA student athletes should be compensated beyond their scholarships. It provides background on the history and revenue of the NCAA. A key problem outlined is that while the NCAA and universities make millions in revenue from sports, primarily men's basketball and football, student athletes are not compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. Several potential solutions to address this issue are presented, including implementing a salary cap system, providing a base salary for all athletes, or allowing endorsements and use of player images in video games.
