In Addition to the Ed O’Bannon Case and Joe Nocera’s view on the topic, Notre Dame is a private catholic school in Indiana with an average cost of Attendance around $47,929 a year. The university is extensivley known around the nation, earning a degree from there is a privilege as it is. Football is also a very big part of the school as well as other sports. Students around the nation have been and will be scouted for scholarships in football; Scholarships will cover for most if not the entire cost of their college attendance. Paying players that already were given such an opportunity to play at a higher level and earn a degree in such an ostentatious, over the top, extravagant school like Notre dame is absurd. However these players don’t have to be paid if the university says they don’t want to pay them, they should use the money and help the school. Not only would it look good for the school but for the players and how they can give back. Happiness and success begins when people being to give back rather than receive.
