University athletes also burdened by student debt

College students in the U.S. who represent their schools through sports are also burdened by student debt after school is over, a Forbes article stated on June 3.

Though some college jocks are privileged enough to be rewarded with complete or partial scholarship funding, many still take out loans to cover additional living expenditures. There are many student athletes from economically-challenged backgrounds who must borrow funds to cover school and living costs. College athletes who are not covered by scholarship benefits are no different from any other college student who suffer massive debt repayment after they graduate.

The burden of student debt after graduating is significant, especially because well-paying jobs are not always available to inexperienced graduates.
