http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/money-and-march-madness/ NCAA men's basketball has become big business, with TV rights worth $10.8 billion over 14 years. Should the players get paid? Watch "Money and March Madness" on air and online Tuesday Mar 29 at 9pm ET on PBS.
FRONTLINE continues its new monthly magazine program with the lead story "Money and March Madness," an inside look at the multi-billion dollar business of the NCAA and its brand of amateur college sports. In this investigation, correspondent Lowell Bergman gains access to Sonny Vaccaro, a former marketing executive at Nike, Adidas, and Reebok who helped bring about the rapid commercialization of college basketball. Vaccaro's success made coaches, administrators, and companies rich. But the players remain at the mercy of the NCAA, which, despite a new $10.8 billion contract for its basketball tournament, has continued to insist that the athletes don't get paid. Now, Vaccaro has left the business world and he's spearheading a class-action lawsuit that aims to ensure that players get a piece of the action.
Watch on air and online beginning Tuesday, March 29 at 9 pm ET on PBS.

Jews have summer basketball camps, where they farm black players, and the coaches all come there to pick the players, they universities are paid to pick all these blacks at these camps blacks. As long as all the college players are black, the pros will be all black too.

@mjg732004 What IS a athletic scholarship? How much money does it really cost a university?
jimboedwardlee 11 months ago
I agree as long as they pay back their scholarship first.
mjg732004 11 months ago
Yearly renewable scholarships that colleges write off.
In a capitalistic society- they need to be paid- point blank.
