I quit reading when they said the NCAA is a non profit organization

Technically it may be, but what it really is is a monopoly set up to conttol expenses, and at the same time maximize revenues for its members.

As a result an unnatural system has evolved with schools, coaches and administrators making large sums of monies while athletes who bring in the dollars get college scholarships which are relatively cheap compared to the value of certain athletes in the profitable sports.

The system that has evolved has built a system of minor league football for the NFL, thus saving pro teams millions of dollars.

The NBA is much different. They force kids who would do much better by skipping college to go to college rather than straight to pro ball.

All of this has created a shadow system where schools, agents and coaches fight over the services of athletes. They won't legalize paying these athletes because if they did then they would have to pay all their athletes. This shadow system allows just the elite athletes in big revenue sports to get paid.

I suggest it's in the NCAA's best interest to let the shadow system continue. It's cheaper for them and these elite athletes get some of the pie and not just crumbs.
