“Should the revenues made by big-time college athletics be ‘shared’ by all the schools? Do we want ‘revenue-sharing’ socialism to come to college football and basketball? Many in Congress are answering yes to that question. The NCAA isn’t the massive moneymaker the NFL and NBA are, but in many ways, the product is more exciting than the boring professional leagues. That’s especially true in this month of March, when the hoops madness begins. Even with the new ‘pay-to-play’ rules that have turned college football and basketball into semi-pro leagues, with some of the star athletes earning more to stay in college than ‘going pro’, the fan interest is higher than ever before. So is the money the big schools are making. There are a lot of legitimate complaints about these billions of dollars in TV contracts collected by the supposed ‘nonprofit’ colleges.” (03/03/26)
