College Board members strongly claimed that college athletes will never be paid for a salary to play for their schools. College athletes are easily awarded a scholarship worth $15,000 - $25,000 or more per year, plus a career after college that can be worth a million dollars over a lifetime. Additionally, the athletes receive all kinds of perks while they are in college, like staying at fancy hotels and being seen on national TV. It's hard to put a price tag on all of that.

Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above?

A. It is very difficult to put a numeric value on exactly how much an athlete is worth to a college.
B. Certain college sports generate millions of dollars for college athletic programs. It's estimated that the university gains $70,000 per year in revenue per scholarship player. The actual number should actually be higher.
C. All those millions of dollars from TV contracts and ticket sales only help athletic departments balance their bottom line.
D. The NCCA doesn't allow the universities to sell a college football jersey with a player's name on it, but they will sell the jersey with the player's number on it.
E. Amateurism means that one plays strictly for the enjoyment of the sport, not the remuneration.

Option A :- Incorrect
This opinion stands to support the argument in Question, from the question, the statement is evident that an athlete is worth so much to the college to deserving all the benefits from the college. This opinion empowers the argument.

Option B :- correct
The information provided here may be true, but it doesn't confirm its validity. The college board will not have any problem paying the athletes salary to the athletes to play for their school. Hence the projection seems to weaken the argument.

Option C :- Incorrect
The procedure for channelling the service wasn't specified in the question.

Option D :- Incorrect
The terms and conditions for identifying the idea represented in this option are not specified. Therefore, this idea is not significantly relevant to the subject matter.

Option E :- Incorrect
This idea is off track to an extent, as the subject matter of discourse is centered around the college board declaration about non-payment of salaries to the college athletes. Their level of professionalism is not a factor under consideration.
