Episode #20 – The Good Old College Sports Lie
These are the days of millionaire college football coaches, celebrity players and huge profits being recovered by large universities all across the country. Who’s generating this massive amount of money? Amateur athletes asked not to revel in the profit of it all, but to be grateful for the opportunity to showcase their talent while receiving a free education for their efforts.
