These article are a couple of years old, but the argument continues.

In this assignment you will consider the notion of paying college athletes. A couple of years ago, the issue was raised in the then current news media as to whether or not to pay college athletes. This issue went to the National Labor Relations Board and is a hot Internet topic. Please review the three sources to develop an understanding of the issue and incorporate this into your paper. Write a compare/contrast summary of them with linkages to the compensation readings (textbook). Try to find a unifying theme in the sources, especially with regard to the legal/regulatory chapter. Summarize the articles (briefly!), make as many connections as you can to the readings, and discuss the implications of these articles for managing human capital in the college environment, more specifically issues of equity across types of students. Bracket these sections with thoughtful introductory and concluding comments.

A separate reference page (in APA format) should accompany the paper. Be sure to cite references when used in the paper. I grade this part so use the web to find a brief guide to using the APA style. There is no reason to lose valuable grading points on minor stuff like writing and style violations. Once source of APA is http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Some elements I grade for:

• Number and quality of linkages made between the article and the readings, and the implications (these two sections should comprise the bulk of the paper)
• Title page is optional, but a name and title is mandatory
• APA style for citations and references only
• Quality of article selected (blogs or superficial articles will receive little credit)
• Introduction and conclusion
• Appropriate use of headings
• SINGLE-SPACED PAPER
• One-to-two page paper (more, with quality, equals higher grade)
• No first- (I, me, we) or second-person (you, your) perspectives
• I can only open Word-compatible files.

Expectations

About 60 of the grade is content, 20% is organization, and 20% is formatting, APA and mechanics (more than five mechanics, APA, and formatting violations will consume this percentage).
