about me section

My name is Nick ruby I used to play baseball and basketball but i quit baseball when I was twelve and choose to stick to the basketball path. I am a center for the Norton Lancers junior varsity team as a freshman. I play basketball in the winter and soon to be football in the fall. My favorite is basketball because i love the intensity of the game and skill it takes to play the game. My favorite athlete is Isiah Taylor a freshman point guard for the Texas Longhorns.My favorite motto is " commitment" because it takes commitment to be the best it takes commitment to make it to the NBA, a good college team and most of all to be successful.

           Blog post #7


  In Trevor Martin's documentary " Schooled- Price of College sports,2013" he argues that college student athletes are being underutilized and miss treated by the NCAA. The author argues by first interviewing former players who were treated unfairly like North Carolina's Fullback Devin Ramsey wast typing his paper and emailed it to his tutor for revisions that he had to make and the tutor emailed him back and added an extra paragraph for him and he thought that the tutor was going to send it to the teacher but he never did and he was caught in a frod  scandal revoking him from playing football and couldn't even fight the situation, he then interviewed some tutors that helped the star athletes with there academics and the tutor said that some of the athletes had a reading level of a first grader and some didn't even know how to pronounce letters and he concluded with trying to interview people that were apart of the NCAA board and they all declined which sends a message that they know what they are doing is wrong and wont admit to their wrongs and treat layers more fairly. His purpose is to express that NCAA athletes are being unfairly treated and that they work their butts off to help their team win a championship and when they do they don't get rewarded like the coaches do with millions of dollars, and that college students aren't getting the education they payed for. Martin seems to have student athletes in high school and in college now and even former athletes that for college athletes that their miss treatment wont be silent anymore and that for incoming college athletes that NCAA sports isn't just a walk in the park that players in college sports are being treated unfairly and that there being exploited by the people who created college sports.

  1. Rhetorical precis starts off in a well-written and scholarly manner. Avoid run-on sentences. I'm glad you feel strongly about this, as do I, so we want to make sure you get your point across.
