Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

In this age of increased academic pressure and decreased institutional budgets, do high-profile, big-budget college athletics programs still make sense? In order to make an informed decision, you must weigh the advantages and disadvantages. In other words, what are the positive things that college sports offer and what are the associated negative things?

First of all, college athletics offer excellent public relations with the college community, increase the college's national and international exposure, and provide wonderful fundraising opportunities. At the same time, sports programs provide education and training to potential future professional athletes—many of

whom might not have received a quality education without the benefit of a sports scholarship.

For a long time, college athletes attended school on a full or partial sports scholarship. This meant that things like tuition, room, and board were paid by the college in return for that student agreeing to attend the school and play on its team. However, in recent years, it has become common for these students to receive additional pay. This has become considerably controversial since many people view this as an unfair situation where certain students, because of their athletic ability, receive benefits that other students do not.

Does financial compensation compromise academic and institutional integrity? I don't think so. For one thing, without these college athletes, the schools would not enjoy a majority of the revenue they receive from athletic departments. Student athletes are entitled to some form of compensation, and, since the demands of the sport often occupy most of their time, they are unable to keep other jobs. In addition, if college athletes are paid, it might stop many of them from going pro before they graduate. It would encourage students to complete their education before joining a professional team.

What are the opposing arguments? Many people claim that schools with wealthy and successful sports departments devalue the academic environment in favor of athletic competition. The claim has also been made that certain sports, by sheer nature of their popularity, receive less attention and money and, therefore, the athletes are also treated less well. Unfortunately, this is also true with most female sports teams. However, it seems to me that, in most cases, these negatives are not a result of college athletics alone. Institutional commitment to all teams—popular and unpopular, male and female—would considerably help this situation.

The ultimate question is whether colleges and universities should be the training grounds for future professional sports careers. College should be the place where young people go to learn about the world, develop their skills, and discover their passion. Why shouldn't this also be true for sports?
