Column: The NCAA — A nonprofit that sees plenty of green

Most people have heard the phrase “do as I say...not as I do” at some point in their life. That message is on full display when the NCAA makes rules against players benefitting financially from their athletic ability.

The NCAA, a nonprofit entity, has the primary task of ensuring fair competition between its member schools in collegiate sporting events.
