    I agree with what he is saying. They have the most powerful monopoly in this country. He really isnt that far off imo.

    “Why,” asked Bryce Jordan, the president emeritus of Penn State, “should a university be an advertising medium for your industry?”

    “You sold your souls, and you’re going to continue selling them. You can be very moral and righteous in asking me that question, sir,” Vaccaro added with irrepressible good cheer, “but there’s not one of you in this room that’s going to turn down any of our money. You’re going to take it. I can only offer it.”

    "Congressman Rush obviously doesn't know the NCAA," Bob Williams, a spokesman for the organization, said in an email Tuesday night. "The NCAA and its member institutions provide over $2 billion per year in scholarships, financial assistance and academic support to student-athletes ... second only to the federal government. Student-athlete success is our mission."



    "nuh uh! we're nice, see? look at how much money we throw around. I mean ffs, we're only rivaled by the federal government."


    ummmmm..yea. doubt this is a surprise to anyone that's played college ball.
