Undergraduate / The recent sanctions at UoSC about football program [3]
The recent sanctions levied upon the University of Southern California's football program by the oft-ridiculed NCAA are far too severe, completely nonsensical, and supremely hypocritical. The alleged evidence isn't strong enough to support sanctions the magnitude of which the program received. The punishment for the alleged wrongdoings, which were manufactured by two individuals, neither of whom had any ties to the university, is extremely nonsensical. The NCAA, which clings to the archaic idea of a "student-athlete", scoffs at the idea of an agent lending money to a superstar football player, but relishes the opportunity to make beaucoup money off the hard-working athletes who do far more in regards to the amount of money accrued than the imbecilic geriatrics in Indianapolis. It's far past time for the major players in college athletics to either leave the NCAA or construct a system in which the athletes receive commensurate compensation.
