Topic Troubles

Now that we are in the middle of Junior Theme, I have noticed some major problems with my topic. My topic was initially, Why do professional athletes make so much money. But, that was much too broad for a 4-6 page paper, and I understand that. Then, I thought about the topic, Why do Americans idolize professional athletes? But, again that was still too broad. Then after having a few conversations with Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Bolos I decided to choose the topic of, Why are college basketball teams recruiting players as young as students in middle school? Initially, I thought that I had finally found a topic that was concise enough for me to write a 4-6 page paper on it and Mr. Bolos and Mr. O'Connor approved. But, throughout my research I have discovered that my initial thought may have been misleading. Through my research I have found that the answer to this topic is that schools have recruiting these young kids to get a leg up on the competition. They are doing this simply to get to the prospect before their competitors do. After finding this information I thought to myself, How could I write 4-6 pages on a question when the answer is one sentence long? Therefore I attempted to think of ways to expand my topic, but, I am having a lot of trouble.
