Im surprised the NCAA still exists. There should have been a class action lawsuit 50 years ago by all the former athletes who have permanent debilitating injuries caused from playing and making billions for the NCAA and Universities under the sham that was and still is “amateurism,” which shouldn’t apply to any sport that generates cash.
At Creighton Bob Gibson majored in sociology and starred in Basketball and Baseball. In 1957 Gibson received a $3,000 sign-on bonus with St. Louis Cardinals, but delayed his HOF Cards career a year to play pro B-ball with the Harlem Globetrotters.
