What I would like to talk about for my Ted Talk is whether college athletes should get paid in this day in age. This is a fairly recent topic that has been brought up and has been in the minds of several college fans and leaders. It would be interesting to settle the hype and let out the truth about if it would be possible or if it would be a good idea. I will explore both sides of the situation and will evaulate for those who dont know about this topic or how it would work.
First:
- introduce the topic to the audience
- talk about which sports are the most popular right now in the NCAA
- then answer that question with facts about which sports are clearly the ones getting the most attention around the NCAA
Then:
- if the most popular sports were to get paid how would that effect those schools for the other sports
- will it create a bias towards them
- talk about how the college athletes live and how they are teated
Finally:
- summary of all the info before
- let people explore for themesleves if its a good idea
- give my honest opinion to the audience
