Pretty clear now that the NCAA has stolen trillions of dollars from student-athletes.
We're talking six, seven decades.
There's 350 million student-athletes.
Just do the math.
They stole it under the guise of what's called amateurism, which has always been a sham.
Amateurism means free labor, and free labor is a hell of a drug.
You're a billion-dollar company.
We don't pay our employees because we want to keep the purity of them and we only hire 18 to 22 year olds and we give them continue education credits to go to school.
That's really the absurdity of what the NCAA had gotten away with for six or seven different decades.
For sure.
I mean, I grew up in subjective sports.
So I was an Olympic skier for Team USA.
It's a judge sport.
It's not like track and field.
You know, who crosses the finish line first wins.
And then I played football and referees still to this day get it wrong.
And, you know, I think about these really big moments.
I think about like the 2018 NFC Championship game.
The Saints lost the game due to a bad call.
And they got people on their team who never got a chance to play in the Super Bowl because a referee who admitted it was a bad call.
