Don't you have to have some experience of "the exploitative world of college sports" before you can be named Executive Producer?

I mean, can I write a series about the exploitive nature of being the President of the United States?

I've seen some speeches that should qualify me. Maybe LeBron watched a college game one time.

no? executive producers are normally not very involved in the actual making of the film. they will usually give these titles out to people who are financing the project or shite like that. but they normally offer very little to the actual making of the film

If jr smith had went to college he’d probably have learned some basic math concepts

The reason he didn’t go to college is because he doesn’t do well on finals. Only passes 33% of them

That was just a fictional novel turned into a fictional movie.

These documentaries (by virtue of calling themselves documentaries) say they are portraying true life and reality.

Nobody left the Godfather movie and said shite, I never knew Marlon Brando was a gangster.

Did you leave Hoop Dreams thinking Steve James was an inner city high school basketball player? Or the Andre the Giant doc thinking Bill Simmons must've been an 80's wrestler?

Agree the NCAA is corrupt but not on the level of human rights violations. Far work practice violations and ability to negotiate fair wages would be accurate.
