College sports is a great enterprise. The NCAA generates $550 million per year as a tax exempt organization. NCAA President Myles Brand is paid a $900k salary. Nick Saban just broke the $4 million barrier. The NCAA has instituted "historic" academic reform to make sure student athletes are really as the name implies. Graduation rates are up, up up. Student athletes get a free ride. We're talking a free education. So quit complaining. On second thought, that wouldn't be much fun. Blogging and the NCAA...never would have thought the two belonged in the same room until the NCAA told the "live blogger" to leave. Then it hit me...muck the NCAA.
