    1. magine sitting in the Mercedes Benz Stadium watching an Atlanta Falcons game and all you hear is the crowd going “OOOOOO” from a hard hit that was giving out to an opponent

      Vivid start to this... But I think your personal story is more captivating.

    2. ust imagine sitting in the stadium or sitting at home watching the game and after a play is over you see your son laying out on the field hurt from a concussion. Your heart is pumping fast b

      Start with this paragraph. What happens when you do?

    1. College universities generate so much money during the year that its only fair they give the athletes a share of it. The athletes should get paid based on the university’s apparel sales and revenue. The main reason the NCAA is not allowed to pay their college athletes is because they (the athletes) can lose his/her eligibility if they are paid to play. The scholarships the coaches use to lure the student athletes in are only recruitment tactics. The scholarships only pay for the student’s tuition, room and board and books, but the athletes don’t have any left for other needs.

      So this writing wiill get much much better when it gets much much more specific. How much money? What kind of apparel? Which athletes? Which scholarships? Which coaches?

    2. The cons of this debate would be that the coaches and staff would most likely receive a salary cut and taxes could possibly be taken from the residents that live in that state.

      It'll be interesting to see what happens when you become much more informed on this issue. It's a good one. There are many voices suggesting different solutions. You might have a "solutions" page that describes these proposals.

    3. Fans, athletes and even some coaches argue that the NCAA should pay their athletes.

      When you revise this, I recommend drawing out the voices. Not all fans, right? Who? Maybe make a list of four or five different points of view and explain them.

    4. uring my brothers four years at Georgia Southern University as a football athlete, he experienced many hard ships because of the lack of funds that was provided to him.

      Super interesting! This personal story really draws readers in. Give us details (if you can)...

      So this information is conventionally appropriate for a physical paper that you hand in. But a blog post doesn't need it. Can you imagine why?
