The NCAA Finally Gets Sued, Dr. Boyce:  I&#039;ve written extensively about the NCAA and what I perceive to be their consistent efforts to exploit the black community. They spend millions on public service announcements to protect their deception, but eventually the athletes and the public are going to wise up to what they are doing. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bvonmoney.com/2009/07/25/ncaa-lawsuit-ed-obannon/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;(Black Voice) Dr Boyce Money: The NCAA Finally Gets Sued &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The truth is that college athletes should be paid for the same reasons that any actor in a Hollywood blockbuster film would expect to receive compensation. The problem is that the families of athletes don&#039;t quite know how to organize and fight for their power. So, when I read about the recent lawsuit against the NCAA for allegedly misusing the images of athletes for videogames, I was a very happy man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let me break it down for you:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Based on my 16-years of experience as a college professor (I currently teach at Syracuse University, a school that earns millions off black families every year), collegiate athletics is not, in my opinion, about amateurism and it&#039;s not about education. It&#039;s about making money. Period. Many athletes are admitted to college every year and they would not be granted admission were it not for their ability to play sports and make money for the campus. Making money is not a problem, but the problem comes with the fact that universities do not share this revenue with the families of the players.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;College sport is far from being extracurricular: it is an exhaustively time-consuming set of activities in which athletes are consistently required to miss class, wake up early in the morning and engage in as much stress as a professional to represent the university&#039;s financial interests. This is not the typical experience of a college student, and it impedes their ability to learn.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Finally, the lack of revenue sharing with the families of college athletes is not coincidental. There is a complex nexus of carefully designed rules and regulations which keep athletes and their families from getting any share of the money. These rules are supported by the anti-trust exemptions granted by Congress and allow the NCAA to use education as their excuse for not paying the players and keeping their families in poverty; that&#039;s why they run those ridiculous commercials in which they brag about how many of their athletes go pro in something other than sports. The truth is that they are working to manipulate your mind. &lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just in case you missed it.
