Comments on: Should College Athletes Be Paid? http://kenan.ethics.duke.edu/teamkenan/should-college-athletes-be-paid/ Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:09:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6 By: Carol Newman http://kenan.ethics.duke.edu/teamkenan/should-college-athletes-be-paid/#comment-74 Carol Newman Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:18:45 +0000 http://devilsdilemma.wordpress.com/?p=832#comment-74 Though not orthodox, South Park brings this issue up through a very interesting lens in an episode called “Crack Baby Athletic Association” (

Bearing a non-profit designation is primarily a tax status for an organization, preventing individuals within the non-profit from removing capital from the organization, and thus allowing the funds obtained by the organization to be exempt from taxation. However, as a society, we often fail to recognize that people within non-profits can benefit in a number of ways from these organizations, ranging from extracting money through paid work to social benefits. Should a leader of a non-profit be making over a million dollars a year?
