Yes
It's very bad that people can't just retreat into sports and pretend that bad things, sometimes even in sports, are happening.
It's ridiculous that people are making millions of dollars off of kids who get suspended if someone buys them lunch.
And it's ridiculous that these guys making millions from the university off of the kids' unpaid labor can get money from doing a TV show, a radio show, and doing appearances while the kids get nothing.
Plenty of people are getting a lot of money off these kids. It's exploitation, clear and simple.
And save me "they get an education".
Because often the schools cheat the kids out of even that.
And when they don't, it's still not commensurate with what the universities, coaches and administrators get.
If universities are going to have athletics, then it should be more like intramurals.
Let paid leagues replace the NCAA
