Research Argument Assignment-Recruiting in College Sports

The topic for my research paper will be the college athletic recruiting process, and more specifically how the recruiting process diminishes the value of education. The recruiting process is corrupted, and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has just begun to step in and crack down on coaches that repeatedly break the rules for recruiting of college athletes. Coaches regularly offer "gifts" to potential athletes, a blatant transgression of NCAA recruiting policy. Another issue that should be addressed is that college coaches are beginning to make verbal offers to students who are still in middle school. In my paper I plan to address these issues by giving examples and I also plan on looking into the roles that the NCAA has played in stopping this sort of activity. I will likely add a paragraph or two about the recent investigations by the NCAA into schools like University of North Carolina, University of Miami, and most recently (and my personal favorite to watch get in trouble) University of South Carolina.
