    My Latest. A thorough defense of the brilliance of LaVar Ball. The NCAA and college athletic programs are making tens of billions of dollars off of athletes. It's an unethical hustle. LaVar is right to want to shake it all up.https://theintercept.com/2017/12/22/ncaa-junior-basketball-association-jba-lavar-ball/ …

        But what are his motives?? I mean, the only reason Lavar's relevant is bc he's a dad who lives vicariously through his kids and realized the opportunity to profit off Lonzo's fame/success in NBA by using it as a platform to launch/promote his own brand in order to get rich*

        Its not right that they make so much money off of the #athletes who basically get #nothing in comparison to the return that the #NCAA recieves #financially

        Always have been uncomfortable with American athletics. Echoes of overseer/slave power dynamic inequality, pro and college alike. Why is that?

        The way the NAACP handles it's student athletes is shameful, but shouldn't it be of concern that this will discourage players who don't have a legitimate chance to make it into the NBA from the opportunity to receive a college education that will enrich their lives?

        Totally missed that and I can only guess it was auto correct or total brain fart. Thank you for pointing it out. *NCAA*

        I hope this will change so we can see an end to the unpaid internship that many universities R imposing on students while profiting off them

        Hey @ShaunKing. Still haven't heard you talk about the enslavement of real black Africans in Libya. Are you quiet because Obama and Hilary are responsible?

        What an unethical hustle, providing athletes a free or discounted education that would otherwise cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars and likely place them under an unforgiving pile of debt! So unethical and horrible.
