As we learned this week, the National Collegiate Athletic Association embraced the amateur model of athletics. However, a number of state legislatures have recently either passed or introduced laws that would allow college athletes the ability to generate money while they are still in school based on their status as a college athlete.

For this assignment, I am asking you to educate yourself on this issue. Perform a few internet searches and locate a state that has either passed a law paying college athletes or has been introduced into the state legislature a bill to pay college athletes. Read a few news articles about the specific proposed state law, as well as the bill itself. Once doing so, please answer the following questions:

1. Which state law did you select? Also provide a link to the bill.
2. Please provide the links to the news articles your read.
3. How are college athletes to be paid based on the language in the bill and the news articles that you reviewed? What are the positives of this arrangement? What are the negatives of this proposed payment method?
4. What is your personal opinion on paying college athletes?
