"Poor black"?
1 - I'm assuming you just speaking about just D1?
2 - How do you know the majority are poor?
3 - That turn should be unflattering to you because the players are running the show now
Yeah, I'm speaking about D-1. That's the revenue sport. The only way you can be exploited economically, is if there's money being denied to your or stolen from you, by some unjust, illegal policy. D-2 football is not a revenue sport. So those players are not being exploited. You get that, right? The exploitation is the schools keeping all these millions and billions of dollars that big time, televised FB and BB is generating, and in the case of the NCAA, not simply cutting the players out of all the money and keeping it all for themselves which isn't illegal, but even instituting a completely contrived and unnatural concept of 'amateurism', as a fig leaf for their racket, and expelling all players who don't agree to pseudo-legally abandoning their right to make any money at all, if it is any way is invidiously deemed to be connected to their existence as athletes. It is raw, naked, unapologetic, explicit, extremely crude exploitation. And that's what's illegal. And thus why we got NIL, because the schools were arrogating to themselves even all the money to be made off of the individual players' personal identity and 'likeness'. They were stripping them clean. And the SCOTUS essentially made them at least relinquish that much. As far as revenue sharing, players have to organize and strike for that. The NCAA is crudely attempting to forestall that by splitting with the athletes a paltry 20 percent, and then adding insult to injury by sharing that 20% with non revenue athletes, who will now receive an actual income, even though their sports do not generate any revenue, and taking it out of the monies that should be solely going to revenue-producing athletes.
And that's why the NCAA has to go, because they are incorrigible, and at every turn, no matter how indubitably the jig is finally up, they prove themselves to be the economic archenemy of football and basketball players, and seemingly want to hurt them financially as a matter of deeply ingrained institutional principle. And they made NIL as restrictive and limited as possible, almost as an open insult and gesture of hostility to the players, which fortunately enough, enthusiastic boosters ignored and did indeed use as a recruiting inducement, even though there was no ethical reason for the NCAA to forbid that. And of course the NCAA doesn't bother enforcing these indefensible, arbitrary rules, because they would and do lose every time the their illegal, bad-faith tactics come before a judge.
