I think this article is a good article, if you only want to know about what the school, directors, and professors think. This article forgets the most important opinion, the players! If you were to read different posts before this you might have more information. The point of a newspaper article is to present multiple view points, in which this blog fails to do. The author’s purpose of writing this article is to explain the point of view of NCAA President Emmert and how feels on the topic. He feels that some student should be paid, not all though. The NCAA thinks it would be the most fair to pay all athletes because they put in a lot of hard work and can’t get a job because there sport. Emmert thinks some students should be paid to keep up with the extra cost of school. NCAA President Mark Emmert backed a proposal to allow conferences to increase grants to student athletes by $2,000, "to more closely approach" the full cost of attending college, beyond the athletic scholarships athletes receive for tuition, fees, room, board and books.
The author wrote this article to inform the media on what is going on. He forgot a big chunk of information, the viewpoint of the players. Otherwise this source has accurate information on the viewpoint of the faculty this is a reliable source because the website The Huffington Post is owned by AOL a respectable company and respectable publisher.
