NCAA: Organisation and Profitability

David Zirin wrote, in part:

'It is so damn easy to expose the NCAA, but it will never be enough because it is immune to argument and utterly oblivious to derision. Taylor Branch, John Oliver—hell, the reincarnated genetic splicing of Jonathan Swift, Dorthy Parker and James Baldwin could never bring even a hint of red to NCAA President Mark Emmert’s cheeks. It is, as Kain Colter described, a dictatorship, except its great weapon is not torture. It’s the absence of shame.'

Interestingly anon^^ you fail to mention the fact that student athletic scholarships may not be guaranteed, so if you are seriously injured, what then?

Great articles online about how college basketball is a declining product. Some of the broad reasons are:

- This season is the lowest scoring season ever from memory. PPG well down.

- crowd attendances are at record lows.

- fans are becoming dissuaded by the constant micro-management of the players and the entire programs. Players skills and talents are not been truly shown.

- fans are upset with the NCAA in general, namely that they treat the big 'revenue maker colleges' favourably.

- timeouts. Fans watching on television are unhappy with the stop start nature of the game as well as the 35 sec shot-clock.

Radio and television personality Ali Carle has been named as the Adelaide Lightning's No.1 ticket holder.

Also in Boti's story it states that former Forestville Eagle Monica Bello has been training with the team, would be a handy point guard and stablises the back court strongly.

The article also adds that Renae Camino has verbally agreed to comeback after going under the Nick Malceski ACL surgery and should be back for the start of the season.
