Writing and Introduction

 

    Introductions are a skill that I have been working on in my writing. I struggled with it, due to the fact that I can’t always introduce a topic. I decided to take a different approach this time with my introduction, I use more evidence/background information. This is so the reader can understand the whole situation as thoroughly as possible. Along with that I try to introduce my topic while giving the information to help the reader. 

“College athletics, one of the most popular and exciting activities in all of sports. This goes for baseball, basketball, hockey and college football. College athletics produce just under 16 billion dollars a year in revenue. Football alone makes 925 million dollars in revenue a year. With this being said, the NCAA was made to make sure that the athletes are safe both physically and mentally. The NCAA is a non profit organization and the profits go back into the schools and teams of these schools. With all this money many players and fans believe that these players should be given some type of compensation in the form of money. This formed the NIL, bringing up the big question, Why is the NIL and the payment of collegiate athletes so harmful to collegiate sports and programs?”

I tried to give good background information while introducing the topic I will be discussing as well. This approach helped me type my introduction more efficiently, and helped me lead into my other points.
