That doesn’t make it any less ridiculous that the people actually responsible for generating revenue are forbidden by rule from getting paid market rates for their labor, while others involved make fistfuls of…

working basically 30 hours a week year round with no pay while racking up all those tiny blows that start the CTE avalnche. Sure, that’s nothing compared to getting free textbooks

I think the subtext is that this situation would be less likely to obtain if it wasn’t a bunch of black guys getting stiffed. “White folks getting rich off the under-compensated labor of black folks” has a familiar ring in US history, does it not?

If something’s complicated it’s not worth doing. That’s the American way.

DEATH TO THE NCAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
