What's worse is the fact, truly stated by DefenseBB, that many or most sports are "done right" by the NCAA.  Almost all of the sports mentioned by DBB are sports where the participants can make money, such as tennis.  As long as the player avoids any sponsorship they can receive "travel expenses", and juniors can make up to 10K a year and still retain their eligibility.  That's being done right by the NCAA.

Some people believe there is an underying racial element to the seemingly draconian hand the NCAA takes wih FB and BB, since these two sports are predominantly black.  Perhaps.  But there is no doubt this is mainly about money and control.  Let's not kid ourselves.  FB and BB are the two sports that make college tennis, golf and volleyball possible.  It's these two sports that carry the financial load of all the rest, and make a lot of people very rich in the process.  The more control you have over the players, the more you treat them like children and manage their affairs, their movements and mobility off the field, the more control you have over the money.
