Finally some Reason & Data for Improving the NCAA

[Mike Jackson]

The most striking part of the interview was the fact of the lack of medical care for the athletes.  Greed is killing the sport plain and simple.  Most of these programs can’t even afford to be cost responsible and maintain their status amoug the “big boys”.   Andy Zimbalist speaks with too much “common sense”.  The primary mission of all these institutions is to educate their local populations to participate productively in our economy.  And only maybe a max 10% of college athletes will earn a living in athletics. That 10% is accounting for every athlete that end up in some as modest as Middle/Jr/High school coach to someone earning a six figure salary at the D1/professional Adminstration/coach level.  They are going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg and then be confused as to how it happened.
