The NCAA Is Bullshit

Not Tim Tebow?
Since I still have nothing really to post here's an excellent column by Mark Kriegel of FoxSports about how bullshit the NCAA is for making money off these college athletes and not paying them or even letting them get freakin' jobs. Here's an excerpt:

There's Texas quarterback Colt McCoy wearing his No. 12, and DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma's No. 7. There goes Evan Royster, Penn State's No. 22 and Oregon safety T.J. Ward, No. 2.

But my favorite — everyone's favorite, really — is Tim Tebow. The virtual Tebow is as singular as the real one: a big hoss white guy, the quarterback with a fullback's physique. His socks barely cover his ankles, and he runs over oncoming safeties.

The only difference is he's not Tim Tebow. As per to NCAA strictures, he's identified as "QB #15."

And like almost everything else the NCAA gets its hypocritical hands on, it makes you wince and want to say:

Are you kidding me?
