How the NCAA made its own bed


Recommended Posts

I just finished listening to an old Rewatchables podcast where they did Hoosiers. In the "half-assed internet research" portion of the podcast they said the NCAA suspended 5 players for three games for appearing in this movie, and made them forfeit their pay. Per the NCAA spokesman,  ''You can't use your athletic skill in a sport for pay.''
