In Defense of College Basketball

So, all it took was Zion Williamson and a blown-out NIKE sneaker to refuel the tired old debate of should we pay college athletes? Yet again, individuals and organizations of interest are lining up on both sides of the issue.

Anyone else find the irony in that deep thinker DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins was one of the first to speak up and suggest Williamson should shut it down for the rest of the season rather than risk injury or jeopardize his position in the upcoming NBA Draft this summer? Personally, I am just shocked to see Cousin’s advocating for someone to get paid other than himself.
