Clean Up or Pay Up is a great story for college administrators, staff members and students to read. This story explains how athletes are let through school without any education what so ever. The author, Louis Barbash, explains to the reader how college athletes are made to have no social life when they are in school. He uses Tom Scates and other previous "student-athletes" as perfect examples to prove they aren't receiving the proper education while in college.
Scates has a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University where he played basketball. Although Scates is a graduate of college and has a degree, ten years later he is just a doorman at a hotel in Washington. Since his education was so poor and his athletic ability slipped his whole college career went to waste. Running back Harmon majored in Computer Science at the University of Iowa but only took one computer course his three years of school. All of his classes his senior year were bowling, billiards, and football classes. Former Washington Redskins star defensive end Manley spent four years as a "student-athlete" at Oklahoma State University just to emerge after his senior year and admit that he is functionally illiterate. Those are all examples of how the NCAA and colleges do not properly educate most athletes. .
The NCAA gives scholarships to athletes for their schooling. These scholarships cover their tuition, room and board. The NCAA rates this package to being around $40,000. That is all these athletes are offered and they are not allowed to have part-time jobs for spending money.
After everything is all said and done the author states that it is time for schools to make a decision between real amateurism and real professionalism. They no longer can have a little of both, and it is either poetry or pro. .
