There are significant problems with the current college athletics model -- something the NCAA has seemingly acknowledged, but has also pushed off blame for and seems barely competent to correct.
Given the amount of money generated by college athletes today, it’s a worthwhile debate to see how to properly compensate the ones actually generating the interest and money (the players). On a recent panel about that very topic, Kylie Carter, the mother of former Duke Blue Devils standout Wendell Carter Jr., compared the NCAA’s system to slavery and prison.
I won’t impart judgement on how right or wrong that assessment may be.
