Stipend, “Not Pay for Play”
Unfortunately, for me this article was just plain slant and here are the reasons why. First of all, this author is way off topic from the title because the title is Stipend “not pay for play” and the story goes on about accusations about all the scandals Mark Emmert did since he became the President in November of 2010. Sure it does mention the decision the board and the President came up with, but almost half of the story was what the President did wrong. Second, they make Mark Emmert seem like the most evil man on Earth adding negative sayings about him. Third and the most infuriating of all was they left out the players! Now you see why I call this article a slant, but let’s leave out all the wrong doings and turn to the facts. The author wrote this article to inform the readers about the decision the board made which is adding $2,000 to the players, but critics argue that this makes the student seem like employees rather than players. Emmert disagreed and responded by saying, “We're still supporting them as students, not as somebody we're paying to play a game.” The source for me is very accurate since it came from ESPN, which is rated the best sports newscast, but the article is poorly written and not as proficient as I thought it would be.
