Blog Post #7: The Rhetorical Precis "Schooled -- The Price of College Sports"

In Trevor Martin's documentary "Schooled -- The Price of College Sports" (2013), he purposed that the mistreatment of college athletes in the NCAA. The author first argues his point by using vibrant visuals showing the overuse of advertisement of sporting brands to catch the audiences attention; then he asserts it by interviewing all sides of his argument, and to conclude he included the emotional appeal of individual athletes. His purpose is to expose the wrongdoings of the NCAA in order to help athletes gain a say in the NCAA and to get paid in the future. He seems to have a serious and accusatory audience in mind because he wants athletes to have a say in the rules that the NCAA propose. I agree with Mr. Martin I think it is awful that the NCAA exploited their "money-makers" like they do. The main reason for all of the money the association gets is from the student-athletes and all of the games the play, the players deserve to get paid a little because they put so much into the sports it's a job and not fair for the players. The athletes in the NCAA a should be able to have some say in the rules they are controlled by.
