Chapter 6 presents many arguments for and against the role of sports in higher education.
While there are compelling reasons for elite college sport that have a big price tag (think PAC 12, SEC, BIG 10) andthere are compelling reasons for sports on campus that aren’t as expensive (think Division III programs that don’t offer athletic scholarships), CSUN may exhibit the worst of both options.
One the one hand,CSUN athletics have a higher price tag because it has athletic scholarships. The athletic department is subsidized by the general fund which means that the tuition and fees of over 38,000 students subsidizesabout 350 athletes. The 99% are subsidizing the 1%.
While most of CSUN’s athletic programs would not be considered elite (very few programs are ranked) but student-athletes have the same pressures ofelite programs.
In light of this information, write a short essay that explains whether or not you think the CSUN athletic program is ethically defensible.
