Instructions: Now that you have proven that there is a problem, you must research possible solutions to the problem. You must turn in this research sheet completed with two articles attached that show possible solutions and why they would work

III. There are many possible solutions to this problem. The possible solutions are: (Two articles must be attached and annotated bibliography)

The main solution to this problem is to get the athletes paid. I'm not talking millions of dollars, but a pay cut for them performing. The coaches are getting paid millions of dollars, NCAA averages better than half a billion dollars a year in revenue. That does not include payouts from the 28 football bowls, which exceed $184 million. If everyone else is getting paid for the outcome of the athletes; why shouldn't the athletes get paid.

IV. The solution I (we) propose is: (This section will become your proposed legislation. Be sure to include what agency will implement your law, proposed cost if any and effective date)

One solution i believe that would be reasonable for this issue; is to pay the athletes $500.00 a month to get them by. This income can help them in many ways, for like an example if the athlete lives off campus and is renting an apartment, it could go to electric bill, food, and other thing in that area. It can also be used for clothing or travel hom or "other essential expenses," including academic supplies, medical and dental costs not covered by insurance and family emergencies. This bill will be effectice 8/1/11.

V. I (we) think this solution will work because: (You must use factual information to prove your solution will work)

I believe that my solution will work because colleges make millions of dollars off the athletes performing. Athletes see what's in it for everybody else. They see their jersey numbers on the racks of the campus bookstore, but they don't see any share of the profit. They see their coaches drawing million-dollar salaries and their schools and conferences taking cash from corporate sponsors, but they don't get a whiff of the action. College athletes are the ones drawing in all the money and they should get a pay cut out of it.
