    the shame of college sports

    http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...e-sports/8643/

    phenomenal article. very long, but if you want to learn a ton about the ncaa its worth the read. pulitzer quality stuff.

    i was sort of luke warm to the notion that that student athletes should be paid, and that the status quo was pretty good.

    after reading that, i dont think you can reach any conclusion but that the current system is inherently unfair and that college athletics would be better off without the ncaa. mega conferences are probably a step in that direction, anyway.

    This dude is everywhere right now. Haven't read it yet. I have to give a presentation about our work for the NCAA in like a week.
    STEW BEEF!

    he asks really simple questions: why is the system the way that it is? who benefits? who gets hurt?

    its one of the most thought provoking articles i've ever read on sports.
