The NCAA responds to Ralph Nader... odd that they felt compelled to issue a response to Nader's kinda loony rant...
"Ralph Nader's got it all wrong"
"Mr. Nader's proposal is off-base on so many fronts it is hard to know where to
start. The 145,000 student-athletes who receive athletics related financial aid
each year are in fact students first — as evidenced by the fact that in almost
every demographic they graduate at higher percentages than their
counterparts in the general student body. Moreover, less than two percent of
them will ever play professional sports. The assertion that student-athletes
who receive athletics aid are professionals defies logic — they are students,
just like any other student on campus who receives a merit-based scholarship."
