it’s really not much different than romans watching people get slaughtered in the colleseum.
The coaches get paid millions and totally let their players down when the time comes for them to make their mark.
The players pend 4 years pouring their heart and soul into the game, only to come away with broken bodies and Sh*tty degrees (sociology or communications is what most of them choose because they don’t have the time or energy to get a degree that will actually benefit them). They don’t learn how to study because they are basically forced to pass their classes.
Then the coach’s/school’s/NCAA’s defense is that it builds character or some bulls**t like that.
These guys deserve to be fairly compensated. At the VERY least they should receive free health insurance for the rest of their lives. Heaven knows they will need it in 20 years when they are making $20 an hour (if they are lucky) and their bodies are in shambles from the punishment they took on their way to almost doing something that in the grand scheme of things really means absolutely nothing.
You and I are as much to blame as anyone else for supporting this. I am ever worse because I get so damned mad about all of it. This whole thing is tremendously immoral. The universities that abuse these kids and force degrees down their throats should at least have the decency to force them to graduate in a field that will help them support their families in the future.
The debaucheristic NCAA is venality at it’s worst.
