halfway through I realized I'd been had.
Did you make up that whole email a friend thing?
@dala's "friend"
I agree that the NCAA is nothing but an unfunny joke of an institution. Much of what was said in the rant is true.
Not to mention there are much more recent examples of even more blatant abuse than those instances you cited.
Calipari (just an example) has been lobbying for years now to get the NCAA to allow universities to compensate players a stipend of around $100/week (actually less) so these kids have money to take a gf on a date, get the brakes fixed on their clunker.. whatever. Yes, the kids are abused, financially.
Having said that, every year, thousands of kids not good enough to go pro get scholarships and degrees their families could not have otherwise afforded. Those same kids get to also be BMOC for four years while earning that degree. MANY have a huge leg up when applying for a job just because of the cache they carry for having played for 'my' team (every team has tons of business-owning fans).
It needs revamped. There should be a fair and equitable way for kids WANTING an education to be able to afford to also play a 'money sport.'
If Calipari is correct though, that day will not come until the blue-blood universities say enough's enough and leave the NCAA and form, anew, a much better structured entity that better represents the interests of all involved..... rather than just itself.

Peeeeeekmm... lezbehonest for a second though, ncaa players get money, they are well taken care of... yes the NCAA is a crock because they pick and choose what they want to enforce and not enforce... i pray that sooner rather than later the big boy schools create their own division and just pay the kids a flat sum for anyone on scholarship
There are some kids getting impermissable benefits, no doubt. Not NEARLY as rampant as most people presume (and far worse in fb over bb, obvi). Agree on the flat sum.. have NO IDEA how that would hurt or is any different than a member of swim team being able to earn money when a money sport player cannot.

I didn't watch, but is it 99% Jeremy Bloom skiing some Colorado mountains and then a little tag line at the end that says, "Our football team may suck, but we have a few ski resorts in the area that make it ok." like I think it is?
