1. Yes, college athletes should be allowed to unionize. If they feel that creating a union with help make their team stronger and more functional, than they should be allowed to do it.
2. Unionizing is one thing, but I don't believe that college athletes should be getting paid to play a sport at the college they go to. The goal of going to college is to get an education so you can earn a degree and work at a good job. If you choose to play a sport thats great, and you might even get reconized by important people in the professional sports world. However, until that happens athletes should not be getting paid to play a sport at the college they go to because thats not the main reason why they are there.
3. Even though I don't support the idea of college athletes recieving a salary for playing a college sport, athletes should still recieve a degree even if they are getting a salary. Students and their familys pay a lot of money to go to college to earn a degree. If a school is giving college athletes a salary, that was their choice. So they shouldn't take away the chance for the students to earn a degree, because that could limit them in the future. And also, their family paid a large sum of money for no reason.
