Rational Argument #2

In the next portion of my paper, I began to focus on research for the first point in my thesis—the amount of revenue generated by college sports. Again, I was looking for an attention-getter, so I decided to focus on two outstanding football schools, Alabama and Georgia. My research began by finding unique details about these schools. Then, I began looking for support articles related to college revenue in football. I concentrated on “Big Money” details like TV rights, ticket sales, advertisements, endorsements and coaches’ salaries. I found a lot of information on these topics.

I furthered my research by researching the same criteria for March Madness, basketball’s multi-million dollar business. Again, I found a lot of detailed information. In both instances, I realized that extreme amounts of money are being generated, and not a single cent goes directly to the players.

When I begin writing the next portion of my paper, I will summarize all of this information and begin documenting it. I will try to stay organized because works cited entries are sometimes confusing to me. We’ll see how it goes when I begin the next part of my paper.
