Thank God I went to Duke and graduated before the snowflakes showed up.
This mother is quite the hypocrite as she wanted Wendell to stay in college another year and not go pro, he decides to go pro, she now turns her rage at the college and the NCAA--total cluelessness on her part.

He decided to go pro because of an investigation into him getting a free lunch. The mother is wrong in what she said but so is worrying about a free lunch.
“The problem that I see is not with the student-athletes, it’s not with the coaches or the institutions of higher learning but it’s with a system … where the laborers are the only people that are not being compensated for the work..."
I actually agree with the part of her statement bolded. football and basketball player athletes get little compensation compared to the millions and millions they generate for their university and their coaches. I have always thought college football and basketball athletes at very profitable athletic schools should receive a salary for playing ball.
"should receive a salary for playing ball."
If they receive a salary THEY SHOULD FORGO all SCHOLARSHIP MONEY.
They should have to PAY for the athletic training from the coaches they are getting which prepares them for the NBA/NFL.
How much do you think that is worth?
The salary should be LOWER then triple A baseball player get.
They should be REQUIRED to take the SAME classes ALL students take.
No more "special" classes for athletes.
NO more special "tutors" for athletes.
You have to maintain at LEAST a C average on ALL courses.
And don't even get me into the "special" treatment athletes get when it comes to the law.
I'd bet you would get BLM, the NAACP and ALL the black athletes, to join you in protests.
The LSM would give it TONS of TV coverage.
All the alphabet TV station would talk about ad nauseam including ALL the late night "hosts".
Look at the coverage you would get.
You can trash the protest sights, throw bricks at police cares, break into all the local stores, set them on fire, etc. and leave them is a big mess. etc.
With all the practice you have gotten between Baltimore, Furgenson, etc, it should be a snap!
If we can tear down statues from over 150 year ago, ban Battle flags, that MIGHT remind some insecure black person about what happened over 150 year ago CERTAINLY an organization that started in the early 50's has to go!
THEN you can go after the NAACP, The National Association for the Advancement of COLORED people.
Why are THEY still allowed to us the word COLORED.
I thought that was another taboo word today.
They change so often, it is hard to keep up.
Hell, I think YOU should start the movement considering how you make EVERY issue on this sight racial.
P.S. I thin the NCAA will be gone form football in the next 5 yeas anyway.
She's right. The athletes should be paid and handsomely. No one goes to watch Nick Saban pace the sidelines or watches TV to see Mike Krzyzewski argue with refs. They watch to see the players. It's the players who make the money for these colleges and everyone makes tons of money except them.
Over $72k a year straight out of high school = slavery to this mom?
The hyperbole & rhetoric from the left shows how devoid and bereft of ideas and thought process they are.
Bill Maher, a leftist in his own right, said as much when every time Trump said or did something, Pelosi & Co were saying it was Armageddon.
He correctly said that "when everything is Armageddon, nothing is Armageddon".
For some of the dimwits who don't understand what he meant, look up "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" fable.
When you think of the earning power a college degree gets you (provided you pick a normal major) beyond room, board, food, tuition, etc., it comes to much more than $72k per year these athletes receive.

So you use an argument from the "left" to show how the "left" is bereft of ideas?
