who on here had enough money to fund a 21st birthday party so large that it required a ball room?
Maybe his family threw it for him? Does it really matter?

you can cherry pick a few SJWs and disgruntled former players to talk about how horrible things are. however in these segments, you never see people on swimming scholarships get to talk about how thankful they are to get an educational opportunity. you start paying players and they're done.
Well if people were buying swimmer worn speedo's...
I have no interest in arguing with you, because I know you enjoy being contrariety, but the NCAA is a billion dollar industry, lets not act like they are struggling to stay a float.
Stop selling the kids jerseys, making them sign autographs, and using their likeness in games.

Yup. Do we really think that coaches should be making $3M a year, yet the players are amateurs? Assistant coaches making well into 6 figures, but the players are amateurs? The thing about losing money is a ark.
The NCAA problem is they have two distinct member groups in CFB and MBB- one that is basically a pro training league, the other that somewhat resembles the student/athlete model they try to peddle. That they expect these groups to compete and play by the same rules is ludicrous.

individual schools are struggling to stay afloat
almost every AD is subsidized by their respective university's general fund. i think 5 or fewer departments are not (out of hundreds)
there are only 2 revenue sports, and in most cases, they are not revenue sports. the rest are purely in the red (outside of a handful of outliers)
