This essay was posted on the Freakonomics blog, which approaches economic issues from odd perspectives (the blog is run by the authors of the the book Freakonomics). In the essay, Allen R. Sanderson argues that a "sin" tax should be imposed on collegiate sporting events to essentially pay the players. Since most of the players don't end up going pro and less than half complete their degree, Sanderson claims that the money raised from a tax could be well spent helping student-athletes finish their education.
