Give us a subject and we can give you a topic....I write for a living currently so that's sort of my thing.

Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

I just wrote an exploratory essay on if college athletes should be paid but there wasn't enough info to do that again.

It's a persuasive paper, right? Discuss why the BCS should go to a playoff system instead of the **** they have now.

I sure hope that's sarcasm. Have you ever seen a unicorn on Mars?

Does it have to be a book? Can it be an online source?

If you can do one on crime, write about how criminals go into prison relatively stupid and come out much better criminals with a network of thieves to work with. That always gets teachers all hot and steamy.

Always write about something you can relate to and have passion or at least interest in. I tried early in my education career to write about things I thought would be "easy" due to having tons of source material and easy to find resources ... and dear god I almost died of the boredom.

I say some of my peers writing about stuff they actually enjoyed, and went down that route. Definitely the way to go. Steroids in sports sounds like an interesting topic, good luck!

Steroids in Curling would be an eye-openner.
