     This article is the best article I have ready yet on this topic for it shows a neutral position and gives a lot of information on the players and boards point of view. If I was doing a research on this topic this is the article I would definitely prefer. "It's grossly unacceptable and inappropriate to pay players … converting them from students to employees," Mark Emmert says. This makes a lot of sense why students aren’t paid and proves a good point. Instead of criticizing and making false accusations like most other article do this one gives you an honest report. "Human nature," Williams says, "is those kids are saying, 'Look at all this money we're bringing in. And I have to beg, borrow and steal to get an extra meal?' “This second point of view also shows a great argument. The author’s point of view is to inform us the readers that there are two points of view to every story and this topic could go both ways. This article is organized into to sections: the player and the students. This author has definitely earned its credentials as the publisher is the USAToday which is one of the best newspapers in North America.
