  • The Shame of College Sports

    With all the talk on the board about the NCAA, conference realignments, and year to year scholarship renewals, I found this article from The Atlantic to be very interesting. Warning---article is very long and in-depth, and covers more NCAA topics than I described.

    A leading civil-rights historian makes the case for paying college athletes—and reveals how a spate of lawsuits working their way through the courts could destroy the NCAA.

    I read that when CBSSports linked to it last week. It is a great article (very long- almost 15,000 words) and the author did great research and has a lot of history. It sums up a lot of the things we have discussed here about the corruption in the NCAA pretty well, except it relates mostly to football.

      Yeah, but I wasn't aware that Oscar Robertson was involved in a lawsuit against the NCAA over the use of his likeness in the videos the NCAA are selling. I also like the fact that there are finally some lawyers with deep resources going after the NCAA.
