The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
March 27, 2019: Fifty-two percent (52%) of voters believe that college athletes who play for major revenue-generating sports programs should be paid. If the school sells merchandise with a player’s name or picture on it, 64% believe the player should receive royalties.[1]
A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that many voters believe it’s already happening. Fifty-one percent (51%) think most successful college sports programs cheat by finding a way to pay top athletes under the table. Only 10% don’t think this happens.
While voters think college athletes should get more money, they think coaches already get too much. Fifty-six percent (56%) recognize that coaches of elite sports programs are paid more than college professors. But only 19% believe college coaches should be paid more than professors.
