Are College Sports Undervalued

I understand that college sports does have its problems that can make people skeptical of college athletes and of the programs that are recruiting the athletes that are getting paid, but college sports are good. The amount of players getting paid is very little when you look up how many athletes there are playing sports, so many people are judging the different sports on just a few individuals. There are many athletes who go unknown and use sports as a way to continue their passion along with getting the oppurtunity to get a college education. My sister was a rower and I can see that she throuroghly enjoyed continuing the sport at Texas and I believe that it was vital in her doing well in school. College sports are a great thing and to say that it is completly corrupt and is only their for the pure amusment of the fans is wrong. Ask all the rowers, bikers, swimmers, and all the other sports if the athletes did this for money. If anything these athletes should get some type of college credit for what they do because playing sports can teach a person more than most classes can.
