Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2320049, member: 780"] Jay Bilas said today that the NCAA and it's attempt to manage college basketball reminds him of what occurred during Prohibition. Prohibition was rooted in idealism. So too is the NCAA with it's view of student athletes. But as with Prohibition, there Billions of Dollars involved in college basketball. In both these cases, the Government and the NCAA created a situation where it bad behavior naturally occurred. When there are hundreds of thousands of dollars to be made, you can expect there to be people in the system cashing in. Bilas thinks that you can eliminate a lot of these problems by paying the players. [/QUOTE]
