Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:11 pmMarch Madness supplies 90% of NCAA funding for all NCAA championships in other sports. Nothing is said about how the BCS stole NCAA Football rights. Isn't that a bigger story-where does that money go. Isn't March Madness doing more good for more student athletes than the BCS

Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:13 pmBaylor takes a shot for graduating 29% of their minority athletes-I'm not sure if that's BB only. In contrast Robert Griffin who they spotlighted as a Double Major in Football

Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:21 pmno mention in this report that a College recruit's decision to attend a university is purely voluntary. If he doesn't think a multiple hundred thousand dollar education is fair compensation then they can go to the NBA, NFL, MSL. MLB, Europe, Canada, or any number of other professional leagues in any number of sports to pursue a career. In fact, whenever they think they are good enough they generally do turn pro. Its their decision.

Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:22 pmAlthough the two examples are completely, totally dissimilar, it is kind of funny that the President of an "amateur" athletic organization makes seven figures while the Commissioner of the National Football League is currently making 1$ annually.

I'm not opposed to it. I'm opposed to being forced to pay for it.

watch online -- 90% revenue is crazy. Men's bball subsidizes all the other sports (vball, golf, tennis, etc)
14 years, $10.8 BILLION dollars tv contract (CBS), $700M per year
Sonny Vaccaro started paying coaches with personal directly for Nike shoes in the 70's and giving the shoes away. I guess he started all the nonsense. Some coaches got stock in Nike and $500K.
And now he's the one saying the kids are getting anything -- when he started it all. wow.

Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 5:14 amreally astonishing at how obvious the contradictions are in what the NCAA represents and how it plainly usurps individuals rights to their own image, while forcing individuals to declare themselves ineligible to be compensated for the services they provide.

Through taxes, we all are forced to pay for stuff we don't want to support.
