The first research topic that I am interested in is "Have the large salaries of professional athletes had a negative impact on the athletes or sport?" This question is very relevant in today's time because of all the lockouts that have occurred recently. The NFL was in a lockout for such a long time, and the NBA is currently in the middle of a lockout. Nowadays, the news always reports different athletes refusing to participate in a team's activities because they want more money or a better contract. It seems that the athletes have lost the love for the game the athletes of the past lived for. This topic is interesting to me because I love sports so it is definitely a topic that will not bore me. My argument in this topic is that I would say that the large salaries have impacted sports in a negative way over the past years.
The second research topic that I am interested in is "Should college football change to a playoff system?" When bowl season comes around every year, there is talk about changing to a playoff system for college football. It would be similar to that of the college basketball March Madness tournament but without as many teams. People always say there is controversy with the BCS system and how it calculates the winners, so moving to a playoff system would remove this problem. Like the previous topic, this topic relates to sports, which is why I would want to do it. This topic is an ongoing discussion in today's society so it is definitely a relevant topic. My argument would be that I do believe college football should move to a playoff system.
Either one of the topics would be a good choice for a research paper because of their relevancy in today's time. Both of these topics have a lot of information that could be used during the research.
