[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 816548, member: 2426"] Your previous post said you run a small business and work for a multi-national, I wasn't stalking or anything. The NCAA has attempted to provide justifications, but even those justifications are dubious at best. They want to protect amateurism and amateur athletics. That is understandable. However, under the rules, you can be a professional baseball player, while still an amateur football player. You cannot have a successful Vlog about your life and make money off of it. Looking purely objectively at it, if the goal is to protect amateurism and amateur athletics, then each rule and sub-rule should be examined to see if it protects amateur athletics or not. I am not looking for an over-arching justification like "protect amateur athletics". I am looking for justification of the actual language of and application of the rules. Does preventing assistance to a family whose apartment burned down "protect amateur athletics", or is it simply wrong? I would say that the NCAA is a monopoly. There are 250 NAIA schools, but there are over 1,000 NCAA schools. Looking thru the list of NAIA schools, I didn't notice any major state universities. The NCAA schools have a vastly larger portion of educational opportunities available in the US than non-NCAA schools. I don't know actual numbers, but I could easily believe that the NCAA schools make up greater than 99% of the revenue in college athletics. The NCAA has been petitioning Congress to grant them blanket anti-trust protection, so they must believe that they are a monopoly also, or at least don't believe they can successfully counter arguments in court that they are.
