College athletes should not be paid speech outline

TOPIC: Should college athletes be paid for being on a sports team?

This has always been a topic that I have always posed to different people because as I see it, I think it is unfair how college athletes put so much effort and time for sports that earn the colleges money and yet they do not get paid. I choose this topic because I want my audience to put themselves in the shoes of each athlete. How would they feel if it was them working hard with no pay?

Being a college student-athlete is a full-time job, bouncing between the weight room, the court/field, classes, and film sessions. College athletics are extra curricular activities, but the schedules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) tournaments require an extended period in which the student-athletes must miss school. Not only do they miss class, but they are absent for nationally televised games that make a lot of money and receive millions of viewers. Since student-athletes also bring in revenue for their team and college or university, especially in the championship games, I think they deserve to be paid and hope my speech persuades you to view it as I view it.
