@FarmerJayhawk Who’s asking for the raise? That question really defines this discussion. I see no protests, I see no mass of athletes asking for a raise, I see nothing like that. What I hear and see is a politically driven agenda that is based on the false narrative of the inner city black athlete being exploited. That’s what’s driving this entire thing.
And don’t mistake the market. The “market” is not internal, or inside the NCAA. It’s outside the NCAA. It’s an entirely free market outside the NCAA. Anyone can compete for the players’ services. You, me, anyone. When you intrude inside the NCAA, telling a business association what they can and can’t do, it’s more Marx.
HEM, with all due respect, I don’t see an “entirely free market” with regard to amateur athletes. To the contrary, the NCAA appears to be a monopoly to me.
It’s not a monopoly… They are just a harmless ole non-profit organization that controls the athletics department of every single major college in the country and have the power to literally make up their own rules with no repercussions or competition whatsoever.
But they’re not a monopoly…
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…
