re: Have to do a speech on why college athletes should NOT get paid.

Because they aren't pros and they are getting free tuition and board.

The critique of that is to say that the university is making millions off of them, they should be entitled to a share of that, and, therefore, they should be considered semi-pros. The counter to that critique is that if that's true, the problem lies with the universities profiting from amateurism, not the fact that athletes don't get paid.
