Reason 2
They risk their bodies and their future careers for their sport.

Evidence 2:Also the school can refuse to pay medical expenses for sports injuries, some of which can have life-long consequences for the players’ bodies and career opportunities.
Evidence:3 If they get injured and cant get a job from their injuries they wouldn't have a source of income and wouldn't be able to live comfortably

Reason 3
College athletes are worth about 1 million each and their families earn below poverty
Evidence 1:The NCAA keeps players in poverty and denies them ways to earn money, while making millions on their performance and them not giving their players a dime.
Evidence:2 Athletes are more likely to end up dropping out of school because their family can't pay for them to go to college and the school is not paying their kids
Evidence:3 Families are relying on their kids to make it the the major leagues so they can keep their kids in school because it is so expensive
