To participate in this year’s Scales of Justice Scholarship contest, write an essay discussing the following: If you were the NCAA, what arguments would you make as to why the NCAA should still be allowed to regulate the income of athletes and what types of regulations would you argue are necessary rules for college athletes as it relates to their income.
