    In Trevor Martin's inspiring "Schooled: The Price of College Sports" (2013), he persuades that college athletes are only looked at for what they do on the court/field and not what they do in the classroom. Colleges are more focused on the athletes performance during their games than the health of their players. The author first explains this by going into Kent's life. It is shown that TCU told Kent they were going to cut his scholarship because of his injury. He then goes further into detail about how unfair TCU is treating Kent and he was told he was off the team if he did not get himself together. His purpose is to show the viewers that some colleges are taking advantage of their student athletes and how unfair treatment can have a bad outcome. He seems to have an audience that are fans of the NCAA or people that work closely with athletes. Trevor Martin's "Schooled: The Price of College Sports" opened my eyes to view the way the NCAA uses college athletes to make profit and not to have them enjoy their college experience as they should.
     I believe that, Trevor Martin is correct in his film. College athletes should not just be showed off for what they can do on the field. They should be respected in the ways they need. In order for student athletes to be successful they need a good education and adults who believe in them. The athletes need to be paid a fair amount of money and not cheated out of what they deserve. If a student gets injured while playing a sport for their college, that college should be responsible in taking care of him/her until their parents are there and have control. The NCAA is treating college athletes unfairly and taking advantage of young adult's minds. By and large, I believe that student athletes deserve the correct curriculum and the correct amount of profit in order for the NCAA to not be so frowned upon.
