That’s one of the problems in discussing this. Many seem to believe the NCAA is this free-standing, responsible-to-no-one” entity. And they don’t like the NCAA because of some past ruling that went against their teams or they just don’t like large entities of any type (e.g, evil corporations)

They do not clearly understand that the NCAA is the agent of the University Presidents. They are one and the same.

The University presidents are torn on big time college athletics. They love the money, but the realize it corrupts many of the values they believe are at the core of the institution. They realize that a significant number of these kids are athletes and not students to any appreciable degree.

We all know that. But we don’t usually mind.

Now Congress is involved (again).

At a point, some of them are going to start saying, “Enough is enough”. The money just isn’t enough to justify the prostitution of our principles any further.
