You should write about what happens to athletes that do not get drafted in the form of a documentary because I found this compelling because of the incredibly small percentage of college athletes that end up in the pros.

You should discuss the idea of athletes getting paid and their advantages through a sort of podcast or discussion style environment. I love to talk about sports and athletes so I found every bit of the presentation compelling and intriguing. However, I think that the style used to present the information in the first place was not ideal.
Showing bunch of numbers and stats about a few schools doesn't give enough of an idea as to how much money schools really make. The schools shown were some of the top schools in the nation and the wealthiest as well. This skews our idea of how much schools make and of their ability to pay athletes if needed. I think that if a podcast were used to present the information and to ask the main question, we could get a much better understanding of the issue. You could get members of the administration, NCAA executives, students, and student-athletes to come together in a similar setting to talk about the issue. This would give people a way to hear from all sides of the argument, all while forming their own opinion without physically seeing any glaring numbers or even the people talking. By simply listening, all physical traits and information is gone and very little bias is involved. Your impressions and opinions will all be formed solely by what they say. Overall, I though the research you had was good and very pertinent, so I would simply change the medium through which you deliver the information and pose the argument. You should write about the Cuban issue in the form of an article that debates the pros and cons of both sides because I, as part of your audience found this compelling because of the magnitude of this situation.
For this type of issue where there are different opinions, an article debating both sides would be most beneficial. For those who don't pay attention to this issue they'd be able to learn more about it, and here both sides to the argument. What made this topic so interesting was the fact that there are different sides, that being there are people who think the US should help Cuba and there are those who don't agree. This article should be aimed at an audience that doesn't know much about this topic. Following the article a reader should understand what's going on with Cuba, and have some idea what side they're on. For an article like this, the writer has to dive deeper into the US's influence on Cuba, and what would come if the US intervenes with the Cubans. Michael Trautmann You should write about athlete pay in an investigative article or analytical essay because I, as part of your audience found the topic very compelling. This is because we all know how important sports are at some schools and at Gonzaga, so I think we all could relate to the issue whether we're athletes or not. Furthermore, as a controversial issue, people have opinions about things like athlete pay and want to read about statistics so I think going further with this topic would appeal to a lot of people. I'm curious to see what other collegiate athletes have to say about the issue- and coaches. Coaches know better than anyone except the athletes themselves how much work is being put into their sport and may have a valuable perspective on whether or not their students should be paid, and if so, if they should all be paid equally, etc. They probably have a less biased opinion than athletes as well, so I'd be very interested in reading this as an investigative article or traditional essay. I'd even like to see it in another power point presentation, as you all did very well with the first one.
