Should NCAA Basketball Players Get Paid????

‎03-16-2015 08:06 PM

I really didn't think much about it...then I watched John Oliver last night...he had a great take on the situation...warning...swear words (by Oliver and coaches too!)

Yes, some of these players are not receiving an education, why keep pretending?

LOVED the quote in Oliver's story - the coach making 4 million a year (for a GAME) saying that players should never get paid...they were ""entitled"" enough!!!!
