seemed to continue to use REP with the same objectives; only to market their brand instead of REP’s. During 1992, REP produced 400,000 engines in two engine models: a 4.6 liter, 2 valve engine used in the Lincoln Town Car, Ford Crown Victoria, and Mercury Grand Marquis, and a 4.6 liter, 4 valve engine used in Ford Motor Company's Lincoln Mark VIII luxury car. Sales of these automobiles for Ford were strong and Ford Motor Company would continually introduce new car models that would use the Romeo engines;

time it is discovered that a college athlete has been receiving under-the-table payments. These scandals disguise the larger issue however. The true injustice is not that some athletes are being paid but rather that more are not (Branch). Varsity athletics have evolved immensely since their inception in 1869 as a toughening agent to prepare American men for a new era of Darwinian struggle (Branch). College sports have become a lucrative industry, built on a free labor source unavailable in any other

Case: Wendy’s and the Finger-in-the-Chili In March 2005, Anna Ayala, a Las Vegas resident visiting San Jose, California, went to Wendy’s with her family. She ordered a bowl of Beef Chili. She said she bit into a spoon of chili and “suddenly I chewed something that’s kind of hard, crunch. I spit it out.” She said that’s when she realized the crunchy item was a 1 and half inch human finger well manicured nail. She hired a lawyer and sued.

each player takes. Basketball players become injured all the time during playing their sport. Whether it’s an ACL tear, meniscus tear, broken ankle, there are all critical injuries that may jeopardize one’s career or pockets. The National Collegiate Athletic Association is very straight forward in terms of injury policies for athletes. According to Ramogi Huma, the head of the NCAA, “If you don’t lose a limb, or motion in one of your limbs, you wouldn’t be considered catastrophically injured.” This indicates

Abstract This paper debates whether Division 1 athletes should be paid or not. I explain the situation to the readers that do not have much background knowledge of the topic. I go on to say that Division 1 players should be paid because they do not have much money to buy necessities. The NCAA does not allow players to get jobs due to the workload required for their particular sport. The athletes also cannot sell their items or autographed items for revenue. My next reason athletes should be paid

“Nothing in the collegiate sporting world is guaranteed, and many players thrive on that uncertainty” (Cassavaugh). Athletes can lose scholarship money because of an injury, poor play or misconduct. There has been controversy that student athletes should be paid. How does one determine who should be paid, how much and where does this money come from? Athletes are amateurs who should concentrate on their education. How does one determine if an athlete is an amateur or a professional? An amateur

which included four games shown in prime time, including three on non-holiday weekdays Players have an absolute right to be envious and feel exploited. The age-old rationale that the student-athlete's "free education" is equivalent in value to his athletic labor doesn't wash anymore. It's not equivalent. The national average graduation rate is 55 percent for Division I-A football players, according to the federal government's calculation. However, many of the biggest programs struggle to meet the average

Smart Andy Lyons/Getty Images To reach Shaka Smart's level, black coaches often have to overcome certain labels. I don't blame them. It's an incendiary issue, because we're uncomfortable with race as dialogue. It's still a subject that makes athletic directors -- 89 percent of whom are white at the Division I level, per the report -- squirm. Minority coaches speak cautiously, because they don't want to be labeled as rebels or militants. That hesitancy is a significant component in a perennial

Going to be Paid? The NCAA is one of the top organizations in the world that brings in billions of dollars in revenue on college athletics alone most notably with college football and college basketball. Yes some of these athletes do get compensated with some sort of scholarship which does help out with their expenses but the chances of an athlete receiving an athletic scholarship that is worth anything meaningful is less than 2%. A full ride scholarship might as well be compared to as finding the

Jackson Mrs. Keel English 1101 4 December 2014 Should College Athletes Be Paid? College sports is one of America’s biggest industries. It is an industry that brings in almost 4 billion dollars every year to the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). The NCAA is not the only one profiting from this large industry. TV networks like ESPN and CBS, retailers, and of course universities make millions each year because of the work of college athletes. It seems that everyone is profiting
