What's this?

It's not backwards at all


The NCAA isn't about academics or student athlete safety. It's about making sure that the people who are making the money continue to do so. Always has been, always will be. I cite the following blurb from the Washington Post today:

[NCAA president Mark] Emmert said the NCAA needs to quickly make “substantive changes” in the way it operates. He said the changes will focus on the relationships between the NCAA, schools, athletes and coaches with outside entities like shoe companies, agents and financial managers. He said the committee will also examine the effects of the so-called “one and done” rule that prompts players on a pro track to play in college for one season, as well as college basketball’s broad relationship with the NBA.

Every single word in that statement is about keeping money away from the players.
