Last year, The NCAA made $1 billion on the tv contract for the NCAA basketball tournament alone. 8 college football coaches make over $10 million per year. This stopped being an amateur sport many many years ago. It is absolutely crazy that these athletes were not receiving a cut of those proceeds. And the players weren’t even allowed to have another job. There is nowhere else in the USA that this would be legal or tolerated. And still the NCAA gives none of those proceeds to the athletes. They get private donors and sponsors to pay the “salaries”. It’s absurd. Players are the ones generating that revenue. They deserve a cut.
