  7. Response Team Report Paying College Athletes Kramer’s presentation was quite effective overall. His mediation covered the debate about whether college athletes should be paid, and his conclusion is that they should receive some compensation for what they do. He had a strong voice throughout the presentation, and it was evident that he knew what he was talking about (Mortimer). A small downside to his voice was the fact he went over the allotted amount of time. This did not really hinder the presentation, but did fall outside of the guidelines of the assignment. In each slide, the amount of text he had in each slide was just the right amount. The text he had was a good summary of the points he was about to discuss (Burns). The visuals were a small downside; he had some, but they were not always relevant. Things like the clip art pictures could have been omitted (Mortimer). Throughout his presentation, he used extensive statistics to verify his point. He quoted things like the “free market value” of the athletes, and he also quoted the amount of money coaches were being paid. Logically, it all made sense as well. The athletes themselves are the ones doing most of the work, therefore they should be the ones receiving payment (Burns). Despite the minor weaknesses, Kramer provided an excellent presentation over his mediation.
