College sports’ has long been at war to expose the
dreadful secrets and policies of the NCAA. In the article “The Shame of College
Sports”, many doors have been opened and many disputes have been brought to the
public eye about the treatment of college athletes. For years college athletes
have been vying for fair treatment and reward for the heroic efforts they give
on a daily basis to be a successful student-athlete. Since the early 1900’s the
NCAA has been setting up a forest of traps and obstacles in an attempt to
forever gain substantial profit off of free labor. Walter Byer’s was the NCAA’s
grand architect and scheme planner to trap the helpless student-athletes. Walter Byer’s ingeniously planned and
prepared seemingly endless amounts of by-laws to protect their un godly revenue
and stature, of which they gained through amateur athletic triumphs. The
countless court cases against the NCAA to pay the college athletes were of no
effect as it hid behind an imperfect statement of “Student-Athlete”. Over
decades of careful planning and intimidation tactics, the NCAA finally obtained
a “plantation mindset” over the young performing athletes. Even though the
extreme financial gains that the NCAA received just by televising the athletic
events, the NCAA is skillfully using past events and pictures to gain even more
free revenue. Video games and telemarketing are just a few of the many outlets
that the NCAA uses to increase their ever growing stockpile of money. Only now
during the newest decade is the NCAA finally at risk of collapsing. With the
help of a retired Reebok financial consultant, lawyers are slowly and surely
getting closer to bringing the tyrant down.
