College sports (particularly football and basketball) have become a big money business in the United States. Since university athletes are amateurs, they are not able to earn money as the professionals do. This has led to a number of problems for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which oversees college sports in the United States. Scandals at NCAA school have become such a regular occurrence that some instances are reportedly being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Attracting top athletes without paying them salaries
With millions of dollars at stake in television contracts, ticket sales, and merchandising, how does a university athletic program attract the top young players in the country without being able to pay them? Here’s your scholarship, here are your Nikes or Adidas, here’s a brand new workout facility, and that’s about all we can offer you. None of those are unique since most top programs have the same things.

But there are tricks to use. The shoe companies have paid assistant coaches and who knows where that money ends up? The University of Louisville’s basketball program allegedly had an assistant coach who paid for strippers and prostitutes to entertain its players and potential recruits. The University of Missouri couldn’t legally pay a top player to come to school there, so it hired his father as one of the highest paid assistant coaches in its history. Local alumni who are big fans are often called boosters; they have provided free cars, rented luxury apartments to players at below market rate, given free merchandise or free meals at local restaurants, taken them on free trips, and no doubt have been a conduit for cash payments to athletes as well.

This is not a new problem. You can go back decades. Many universities have had easy classes for athletes to take (or that they didn’t even need to attend), though authorities have cracked down on those. I have a friend who has taught at a big university and for many years there was an expectation (reinforced by administrators) that he would “go easy” on grading top athletes. Lots of people have stories about things that the most popular athletes did on their college campuses; normal students would have been disciplined, but not them. For example, at the University of Maryland before he was a high National Football League (NFL) draft pick in 1984, star quarterback Boomer Esiason was known to drive his truck on sidewalks and across lawns on campus, parking right in front of his classes or anywhere he wanted. He had a free pass so no one bothered him.
The Age Limit, One and Done Schools, and G-League Development
But the issue has become more acute as the money in college sports has increased. The stakes are higher. Every win brings you closer to a championship, but buying a sandwich for the wrong person can bring you NCAA penalties for “recruiting violations”. Since the NBA has a minimum age limit of 19, some athletes attend college for one or two years before declaring themselves eligible for the NBA Draft. This has led to some university programs as being known as “one and done” programs which recruit the top athletes and design their programs around their short expected durations on campus (there is no illusion they are there for an education).
NBA teams are using their own G-League teams (formerly D-League but now G- due to a sponsorship from Gatorade) for player development rather than merely for backup roster depth. In that way, it is becoming slightly more like Major League Baseball (MLB). College has never been an expectation for baseball, which has an extensive minor league player development system.
The D-League became the G-League after a sponsorship from Gatorade.
However, some NBA teams still do not have G-league teams of their own and the system should be much better developed if the NCAA is not getting the job done as a training ground. Perhaps there can be roles for both.
In truth, it’s hard to know if the lines make sense anymore between amateur and professional. In American football, colleges are used as training grounds for pro athletes. It is expected that most players will attend universities and their playing experience there will help develop their skills so that the cream of the crop will be ready for the NFL. In basketball, the expectation of everyone attending college no longer exists; some high school players (notably LeBron James) went directly to pro without attending college.

Professional teams and sports agents can get into trouble for having contacts with players too early. The University of Southern California (USC) found that out again the hard way when the news broke that a sports agency had made payments to some USC athletes and/or their parents and/or their advisors (in basketball this time, after the school thought it finally had cleared its myriad football violations from years past). The payments were a paltry $2,000, but that’s as illegal as $2 million. As columnist Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times rightly articulated:
The most corrupt party in this deal is clearly an NCAA cartel that lines its pockets with little regard for the financial welfare of its athletes…Considering the billions of dollars that NCAA basketball players bring their schools, they should be paid at least $2,000 a month to supplement their scholarships. This entire FBI investigation, which could bring down celebrated coaches and players across the country, is silly.
I agree with him on all of that except for the last part. The FBI investigation could have some silver lining if it forces any resolution of the key problems. But I’d give the NBA a better chance of leading the NCAA out of its mess.
NBA to the rescue?
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Creative Commons via Wikipedia by Keith Allison.
Adam Silver, commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA), seems to recognize that the current system is too rigid to survive. He’s also wary of losing an opportunity to foreign pro basketball leagues (from Australia to Lithuania), which can provide promising young U.S. players with income to play until they are old enough to be drafted by the NBA. Why can’t the NBA do the same?
According to ESPN and other sports media, it sounds like the NBA and NCAA have begun that discussion. This discussion is the most positive step forward for the NCAA in years. Let’s hope they create some flexibility on the age limit and allow athletes more mobility between amateur and pro sports (and, if needed, back again). Universities can be great places for young people to get solid educations and develop athletic skills, but even as the sports market has continued to grow, the NCAA has strangled any innovation with its greed and rigidity.

I hope the NBA’s foray into this issue prompts the NCAA to tackle its problem more comprehensively. Letting players move more interchangeably between NCAA college teams and the NBA’s G-league teams would be a great start. And if the age limit is an impediment, then they should consider whether setting that at 19 makes any sense. The NFL should follow the NBA’s lead in creating a more practical partnership also.
So many acronyms! If the NBA, NCAA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS, any other pro sports, and the FBI ever get together for a joint meeting, they can call it the Alphabet Soup Summit and get the entity formerly known as Google to sponsor it. Or maybe Campbell’s Soup would pay them to call it the C-Summit or Soup Summit instead.

Great piece @donkeypong. I actually wrote a piece about the NBA's announcement earlier in the week about changing up the "one-and-done" rule. I completely agree that the NBA likely has more power over youth basketball players than the NCAA and that some change needs to be made.
I think it needs to change in a few different ways. First, the NBA has to reduce the age minimum to enter the NBA draft to 18, or have graduated from high school after four years. This will allow the LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett level players to enter the league immediately, but will also give other guys the ability to get drafted young and be developed by NBA level coaching in the G-League. Next, the NBA has to increase the funding for the G-League. As of right now, the G-League players are barely making a living wage and that has to change if the NBA wants to be able to keep talent in the US from going to foreign pro leagues. Lastly, the NBA needs to enact a rule that if a player decides to go to college, they cannot leave for the NBA until they have been in college two full years. It works well for baseball and would work nicely for basketball as well.
If the NBA goes with those changes, it will solve multiple issues and will hopefully clean up the NCAA at least a little bit.
Very good post. Upvoted and commented. I think we're on the same page that some changes are needed and the age limit is a great place to start.
Thanks @donkeypong. Changes are definitely needed and it has to come from the NBA or the NCAA won't do anything.
Nice work, but when you add up all the Schools sports teams apparel, ticket sales, tv deals, concession, parking passes, for all the sports in college america are in the High billions, heck Education spending is almost a trillion. So much money, it is too tempting for people.
I guess 'millions' is too conservative...
Personally, I think that although this system has its flaws is still more efficient than other countries, the NBA is the basketball league with more level in the world, the same happens with the MLB. Here in Venezuela we do not see the basketball or baseball of other countries, only the American, because they are indeed the most competitive and best developed leagues. So our teenagers try hard to reach them.
They do create a very entertaining product.
No doubt!...:)...
The basketball and baseball is a very exciting and entertaining event
There's no system without flaws, so basketball and baseball in the USA isn't an exception but then there's a lot of competition in the system.
The NBA was built on top of some capitalism: generally speaking, statistically speaking, competition entertains more than anything else: it rises and rises, more and more over time.
I believe this is totally wrong and unacceptable and I wonder what the school authority dis to that coach. How would you hire stripers for minors. He needed to be arrested for that.
Sorry to diviate a bit but honestly this man looks very much like Sylvester Stallone
Maybe they SHOULD care – as "caretakers" of the sport – but the league simply cares about the quality and the profitability of the league.
You can pull all the statistics you want about the viability of prep-to-pro, look at all the anecdotal information, but the pros want to minimize risk when selecting players, and the best way to do that is to delay the age as much as possible. The more information they have – the less exposure. Wherever athletes go after high school – be it NCAA, developmental league, or abroad – the NBA intent is clear: add as many years as possible after age 18 so that the players can get seasoning/experience, and the NBA scouts can gather information.
Corruption in the NCAA? The NBA doesn’t care. And here’s the easiest telltale sign – when was the last time the NBA punished a player for NCAA violations?
As another poster pointed out, when you have an industry generating so much money based on the efforts of players who are penniless, corruption is inevitable. Paying the players isn’t foolproof – you’re simply raising the thresholds.
Good luck, NCAA.
Yes, but at some point, the consumers and advertisers speak out and tell them they need to pay the players. As for the NBA, I think it's in their self-interest also to create a more efficient and effective college system that feeds into the NBA's own player development.
@dokeypong, That would be excellent sport league post. I think have some errors with every USA league sports, But NBA is top classy level basketball league. I've heard before and will better effective in future.The NFL season began Thursday night after narrowly averting labor disaster. The NBA is mired in a lockout. Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement ends in December followed by the NHL next summer. And the NBA is on the clock. The start of the upcoming season will be in jeopardy if the league doesn’t reach a labor deal soon.
Offcourse it’s an issue to be solved not only there in USA but we here face the same problems, athletes are given promises by the university or colleges and they don’t keep there promises to that extend. Basketball and soccer if we know about both of the games is because they are the most famous games in USA, if they are not taking proper measurements for there athletes then where the hell would they go, they try hard to make good position in there teams, to make it to the professional teams but unfortunately because of the lake of promises been kept from management sides there hard work go in vain.. cricket is mostly played in our country and players face exactly the same problems, authorities say we’ll provide you with this and that but at the end there is no such thing.. shame on all of them.. thanks for sharing your views on this @donkeypong, literally i feel the same
Very interesting post on sports in America where basketball and others game are very famous and earning like insane at the same time violating the ethics and taking away the rights and opportunities of getting education from thise players who doesn't event complete school or college...Money has corrupted sports and people and brands are playing very good trick by just sponsoring to get more advertise of their brand to be become more sellable in the market..The big benefits goes to brand and owner but not to players and they are bring being fooled.
I hope things will change in sports in America and have proper management and rules @donkeypong
Yes and the universities have become complicit in terms of making a lot of money without their amateur athletes being paid at all. It seems very greedy at the moment.
I still assume the NBA do one of one factor if they want to free themselves from any mess university sports may also make for them:
Yes, they'll probably find some middle ground like that. Hopefully, they strike a better balance and try to help everyone.
Any NBA fan who believes the league needs to rescue elite basketball prospects from the corrupt NCAA should, at the very least, acknowledge that the NBA is a major reason the NCAA is so mired in scandal.
If the NBA intends to solve the problem, it ought to at least be willing to name it. Silver’s initial foray into the quagmire — and the league’s lack of action to this point — is not encouraging.
This problem isn’t going to be solved by a new NBA summer camp for elite prospects, or two-way G League contracts for 18-year-olds. It’s going to require big, bold reforms from the NBA, the NCAA, or both. That should almost certainly include a repeal of the NBA age minimum. And really, given the age minimum is the biggest cause behind the current mess, rescinding it should be the starting point for the NBA’s plan of action.
It's a start. Hopefully, it leads them to create something more workable overall.
Great Post. Keep going on and well done :)
Ethics will get you far...or behind bars. :)
Didn’t know that people are profiteering from college basketball. We don’t screen NCAA basketball here on FOX sports or any other sports channels in Malaysia unless we use the internet. So didn’t know much about this.
It’s no wonder why the LaVar sent his sons to play in Lithuania as their getting paid for it while they develop their game.
Really informative and a good read. Thanks for the insight into more than just the NBA that most are familiar with.
The top NCAA colleges in the major conferences have become a cartel and are earning millions of dollars annually that they are not paying their players. Hopefully, your country's situation is more reasonable.
We have no where new proper sports programs whatsoever. There’s no emphasis on sports nor sports scholarships, especially basketball. A lot of people love and play it but we’ve never had good education to begin with. Not only don’t we have sports programs, we don’t even have basketball courts in neighborhoods.
You’d basically need to pay X amount of money to go to special sport schools. In other words only certain people of certain financial status can have a shot at sports as a career.
So we’re in an even sadder situation.
I’m hoping to bring change to that and I believe Steemit and blockchain tech will be one of the ways to do so.
An excellent post. However, like every system of organisation, there'll definitely be some forms of irritating irregularities.
I'm not an American, in fact, Basketball is not that developed in my country. Football (Soccer) is the major deal. But the gross dirty game in sports generally is very disheartening.
Less attention is given to the young and talented individuals to play and exhibit their skills. I hope the NBA and MLB will read this and make amendments.
Thank you @donkeypong, it's really great to read articles that tells the stories of the voiceless. Gracias!
Thanks for your comment. I didn't know there was any common theme to my recent posts, but maybe "voiceless" brings some of them together. :) Dirty games are everwhere and it's a part of human nature, but we can do our best to make them fairer for more people.
You're welcome @donkeypong. I also appreciate your reply.
Yea, there's corruption everywhere. It's human nature but the strive to make things much better for everyone is humanity.
And what you've done and have been doing here can also be referred to as humanitarian acts. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Gracias!
Everything in the sports world is a big scandle from small sports to big sports like football and basketball. The corruption and evil are in its roots and engulfing every promising players in it. Everyday we hear news about this kinda stuffs happening,recently we had a news about a state level gymnastics doctor sexually violated and abused soo many female gymnasts. This kind of things are sickening. Players not getting paid and being shown off as they are get alot for their signing in form of merchandise and gym is the worst thing which demotivates them and not all the star players can rise beyond their limits or within their limits, whereas star players who are famous are getting wayy wayy much more and alot. Its a shame and the ways they try to attract new athletes and make them stay is a huge slap in the sports industry and it’s reputation. Things needs to change but the question is who will. Thanks for sharing keep it up .loved it.
I can't disagree with you there. It's hard not to be cynical sometimes.
There's a lot of money on the line. Honestly, I'm surprised that the NBA hasn't ensured that all teams have a G-League team as well. They would essentially be able to double-sell their product. Granted, it would be at a lower level, but they could still get paid.
NCAA is in a tough spot. They can't look like they're trying to financially influence players to choose their school, but they're the same as everyone else (like you said). So it comes down to location, preference, and side perks. The side perks and special treatment can cause entitlement issues which don't make for great classmates. They're probably better off in a one-and-done school or the G-league, because it would keep them insulated from the general population. (Really it would protect the regular people from getting crushed by their egos.)
It will be interesting to see how they develop the G-league, particularly if some agreement comes that enables more college athletes to test the waters.
That's true. They could have some sort of "physical education" track where the students are getting credits for hands-on experience (through playing) and when they get done with 2 years, they could have an Associate's Degree or something. Then they have some education under their belt. If there are real classes as a part of that, they might even have real-world skills.
You know what would be really cool? Having them take business and financial management classes while they're in the G-league. As part of their degree, they would be getting an education on how to invest their money, be smart with their earnings, and maximize their personal brand. Then they could be equipping the students (athletes) to succeed, rather than just giving them millions of dollars when they have no clue how to use it wisely. Just a thought.
Can the NBA help? Because they also have their own internal problems. But i believe the worst of all, the rigid age limits aside are the parents who have no qualms monetizing their children.
The age limit probably will be the first thing that these organizations change.
It'd be hard to decide which is more inefficient and stuck in their ways, The NCAA or US Congress? Great article, and I'm glad the attitudes are shifting where you see more people like Lebron James speak out about the NCAA's unfairness to these athletes. I don't blame them for accepting money, a lot of them have little or none.
The system almost encourages amateur athletes to break the rules. They should at least get paid something and perhaps be given it once they graduate.
I like to read your post, it seems like you really like sports. I am waiting for your post always. I've tried to contact you on discord and I'm still waiting for your reply. I hope you will reply because there is something I want to say to you. and I have not had time to read your post this one. and I will read later and I will learn every news that you published. I thank you. you are very helpful to us
Thanks for your comment. If i see your message, I'll be glad to respond, except that I ignore a lot of the spam requests I receive.
I am very happy to hear it. I can not send spam to you. I really appreciate you.
This has been a massive issue for generations it seems. I remember 25 years ago and the issues around Shaq and his time at LSU. He wasn’t even taking real courses at the school from what I remember. The NCAA system is broken and to the point where it encourages programs and players to skirt the rules. NCAA is a massive market and the only ones reaping rewards is the schools and television companies. I don’t understand why they don’t take a percentage of revenues and give it back to the players. This “might” help to eliviate some of the deception. Also, why are we stopping these players from signing advertising deals. If they are marketable and can get a deal from Nike then why stop them. It only helps to further promote the NCAA brand and the schools brand. Heck, they could even set limits on contract sizes or advertisers could kick back a percentage to the NCAA or to the teams for development or other internal projects. As long as the NCAA and it’s twams are taking in billions without any compensation the problem will only continue to get worse.
You're right on with those comments. The system is too rigid and fixated on its fictions. It would be great for them to consider ideas like the ones you are suggesting.
Yeah, they are so stuck in their ways just like baseball and the stuff talked about in your post a few weeks back.
Teams will always cheat, wether or not there are 1 and dones. There is too much money being made by universities that they are always going to be willing to bend rules for advantages. I think the level of play will still generate the kind of numbers it does now. My personal thought is that universities should put the money in some kind of interest making brokerage/bank account that can’t be touched by players until 5 years after their freshman year. Obviously there should be limits to keep things fair. These kids are making so much money for their “ bosses” and they deserve to get compensated. College athletics is a full time job. Getting a free education is great, but is nothing compared to what the schools are making in the power 5 conferences.
That's a good suggestion and I've heard others mention something similar. It sounds about right to me also. Pay them but do not give them the money until they graduate, turn 18, go professional (for some), or whatever is the desired endpoint.
Can we take a moment and say thanks to the creator of the Alphabet soup?
It's not only delicious but you also can learn how to converse with people... through soup.
Absolutely! I love alphabet noodles. You may need to try making a post on that.
dont follow it that often. but thanks for the update.
They need to go ahead and pay the players
Nice post! Thanks
Wow.... great news @donkeypong and thanks to NBA for coming to the rescue, atleast the part of the world where you come from sports talents are appreciated, here it is not the same. Thanks for this beautiful update, I am a lover of sports and this first hand information you shared will be very useful.
I beleive sports is one other thing that we should put alot of emphsis on but in some Africa country like #uganda very little money is spent on sports. Yet there are very many people would be good a one sport about dont get education in sports.
The world as mis our vry maney would be great sportsman.
I steel believe I would be great football payer. If such a program is implimented in uganda it will produce vry maney talents.
Thanks @donkeypong for the project
I've waited a long time for someone to talk about this. The problems are not faced by the National Collegiate Athletic Association... but they are global. Colleges are not given lots of attention when it comes to sports yet they are the future of the sports industry which is reaping a lot of returns something that builds economies. Students need more than just workout facilities, shoes and many of this stuff they can access from any institution that supports sports. They need to be fully taken care of to motivate them into developing into brands that will be used for marketting various companies.
The tricks;
Hahaha... This is interesting. It's a good cheap way to back up these students' spirits. And I support it. Any thing that motivates young players to play big with passion is good for the industry.
A lot more needs to be done to keep the sports industry booming. Keeping new talent coming in and continuing to supporting the existing talent.
Great post..Really loved the sports and basketball one of my favourite games..Really sad to here that some people are getting more money than they should get and some are getting nothing except the things required to play basketball..I have heard that basketball sit is the most expensive sit for the people who want to see it live so why aren't the players getting money..It may be really making player pissed off as they are working hard and not even paid off..I didn't knew that NCAA was this corrupted really sad to hear it..Really i want NBA not to take NCAA out of this mess because they have created this mess so they clean it themself.hope to see government taking action on it and solving it.Thanks for sharing it with us..Really sad to see the situation..@donkeypong
Hi @donkeypong, such statements should be readily addressed. I think this is a valuable experience. Thanks @donkeypong
wow amazing post on sorts gald to see after all the history post .... it's been great to get historical post and learn lot from you , i love sports and i like to participate but i really don't have much knowledge about sorts.
but i like your post and you talking about the players which not been getting the facility what they really deserve... it's more serious things its may can emotive them so there need to do some serious work on the sports field @donkeypong
amazing post .i am not much of a sports fan as i am girl and i dont watch alot of sports. but basketball and fotball have been all around the news lately as they are the most famous sports in the world and especially in the news . there is misuse of players going all around the world but those two are the kind g of sports world and things like this should not be happening reflecting the status of the place and the sports anbd the amount of money that is invested in it. we need more responsible and strict people and law in the sports industry .thats not just for fotball and basketball but every other major or minor sporst. thanks
NBA has their own mess to clean up.
Wow that's an amazing, they are paid millions of dollars in this work, I like to watch sports likefootball thankyou @donkeypong for sharing info about athlete history..
you are right not in only USA sports has because business all over the word .... people are just being greedy so they not think and care about the player and the sports man ... when it's about sports all want to give there 100% , it's there passion and love to the particular sports but when it's come on the management and the sponsors they take all as a business they do tricks and turn just focus on profits...
really great post as usual body, not only fooball and basteball but actually nearly all sports in the latest years became a big money buisness. thank you friend. hopefully you have a great time.
Really great job. It's really useful news about sports . Thanks for sharing it.
this good post man, i like the soup
I don’t think so, that they will
And really? They spend millions on them?
And yeah Universities are great places for young people to get better educations and develop athletic skills but the authorities are not doing their duty due to which they didn’t work on thier skills
BTW thanks for sharing your thoughts @donkeypong
This is a amazing post and NBA is one of the biggest industry in sports history of America where every year there is a scandal of millions of dollars, college students even tho being a star players are desperate and forced sometimes to get a scholarship because of which they get taken benefit of by the crooked managers coaches by not getting what they deserve except some minor merchandise cause they devour it all. Not just this sport but it’s been happening in every other sports just because NBA is a big shot it’s getting more light while others are in the deep dark. I am not much of a NBA fan and haven’t watched it many times and i only know handful of players. But their scandals and the things which happens there makes the first page in every news. We need better managers and staffs for better players and good pay to motivate them,even the college players who are mostly used and left.thanks for sharing i like it. Upvoted.
Absolutely great job..Keep it up...Resteemit...
Uhuiii...
Oh that is really bad and really sad to hear that some players in NBA aren't even getting paid thought of there hard work and dedication..I am really pissed off to see this news that hard worker are never getting paid nicely.. What is going to been happening if the most famous sports situation would be like this and what will happens to dream of players who want to become a basketballer it is only going to demotivate them..Hope this problems solve as soon as possible because it is the future of sport..Thanks for sharing it with us..@donkeypong
Unfortunately I don't know about this game as it's not popular where I live.
Why isn't cricket trending here cause I've got a lot of wisdom to share :p
intriguing post on sports in America where b-ball and others diversion are exceptionally celebrated and gaining like crazy in the meantime abusing the morals and taking ceaselessly the rights and chances of getting instruction from thise players who doesn't occasion finish school or college...Money has defiled games and individuals and brands are playing great trap by simply supporting to get more publicize of their image to be turned out to be more sellable in the market..The enormous advantages goes to brand and proprietor yet not to players and they are bring being tricked.
it has always been. didnt you watch Jerry MacGuire?
the best thing in your leagues are these marcet caps and draft. commie like
fantastic piece @donkeypong. I simply wrote a bit approximately the NBA's statement in advance within the week approximately changing up the "one-and-finished" rule. I absolutely agree that the NBA likely has extra strength over youth basketball gamers than the NCAA and that some alternate needs to be made.
I assume it wishes to exchange in a few special ways. First, the NBA has to reduce the age minimum to go into the NBA draft to 18, or have graduated from high school after 4 years. this can allow the LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett degree players to go into the league right away, but can even provide other guys the ability to get drafted younger and be developed by way of NBA stage training within the G-League. next, the NBA has to boom the funding for the G-League. As of proper now, the G-League players are barely creating a residing salary and that has to change if the NBA desires to be able to maintain talent within the US from going to foreign seasoned leagues. finally, the NBA desires to enact a rule that if a player makes a decision to visit college, they can't leave for the NBA till they have been in university two full years. it works nicely for baseball and might paintings well for basketball as nicely.
If the NBA goes with those changes, it'll resolve multiple troubles and could optimistically clean up the NCAA at least a touch bit.
Amazing! Lets get it on...
This great sport, i appreciate your post.
Upvote and resteemit
but that is often the case in any country, including Indonesia. but if the FBI is going to work seriously it might solve the problem
