Name: Matt Rayos

Instructions: You are to interview two people and record their responses on this form. You should state their name and their comments to your solution to the identified problem.

VI. I interviewed two individuals to see what their response would be to my (our) plan. Their responses are as follows.

I interviewed my parents, Mr. John Rayos, and Mrs. Lynn Rayos, and they both had the same response to our indentified problem. I talked with my father, Mr. Rayos, and stated that I agree that college athletes should be able to get money to help pay for expenses and such, but they shouldn't be given too much money, and should be paid monthly. When I asked him the amount, he said,"between $750 to $1,000 a month." Mr. Rayos belives that they should be paid this amount because this will help pay for basic needs and expenses, and give them a little extra money for themselves, since they can't get a job with a sport. My mother, Mrs. Rayos, also said similar things. She said, "I believe that college athletes should receive a small amount of pay for personal expenses on a monthly basis." When I asked her for the dollar amount, she was unsure about the exact amount, but was similar to the range of my father's amount given. College athletes put in all their time towards studies, but even more time into their sport. Their is in-season, off-season, practices, games, and many other things that go into a athletic career in college. While they spend all their time in sports, there is no way for them to get money besides for their schooling or scholarship from the school. Which is why my parents believe that student athletes in college should be given a little bit of money to help out with basic expenses, since they are so consumed in athletics and school.

VII. My (our) answer, based on our research, to their objections and concerns are none. I do not have a objection or conerns because all three of us agreed on it. If universities are making millions of dollars off their athletes from marketing and other ways, the athletes should be given some money to help with expenses. If they need a haircut what do they do? That is a basic need, or new toiletry items, these are all basic needs and expenses that can help be paid with the little money the athlete will get from the school.
