He said he can barely get by with that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With $300 a month, athletes would have to spend roughly $9.67 a day to make it last. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have not eaten the whole day,\u201d Mvuezolo said during a recent interview. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy three-hundred is gone for the month.

Not to mention that college athletes are putting their health at risk while on the court or on the field when they are playing their respective sports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One bad injury and that can be the end of a player\u2019s career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If college athletes make it professionally and they get injured, the professional team covers their medical expenses, but if they don\u2019t go professional, the injured athlete could possibly face difficulties rehabbing and paying for future injuries if another occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possible injuries are part of the reason why sports fans have witnessed many \u201cone and dones\u201d in college sports. There is a huge concern of getting injured without pay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The percentage of players going on to play professional basketball after college is about one percent, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/hoopsvibe.com\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">hoopsvibe.com<\/span><\/a>. Those numbers reflect college basketball, but there are athletes in football, baseball and other sports trying to make it to the next level with the same slim chances of playing professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College athletes should be getting paid. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An allowance of a couple hundred bucks doesn\u2019t help an athlete who has to fuel his or her body everyday when they are putting their bodies on the line. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With schools making millions of dollars off of athletes, it is time student-athletes get their cut.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not so easy being a college athlete.
