On this episode of the podcast, the guys discuss a hotly debated element of the NCAA and college athletics. The idea of "Amateurism" is one that the NCAA historically prided itself on since its inception in 1906. Athletes not receiving financial compensation is something that has separated college sports from the pro-leagues in addition to the added benefit of a quality education. The landscape of college sports has changed drastically over the last two decades. With men's basketball and football generating enormous revenues for the NCAA, the organization has become a billion dollar entity. What has become very evident over the last decade are the changes with respect to the principles the NCAA has for a long time touted. Listen to the guys discuss the true meaning behind Amateurism as it pertains to the NCAA "today".
