2. Would the NCAA set a limit on how much they can pay players?
3. Do you think that there would be a problem for the small universities if a minimum salary was created for athletes?
As a huge sports fan myself, I really enjoyed learning about the financials of powerhouses in the world of college athletics. We all know that these programs make immense amounts of money, but we never really see the raw numbers, and when we do, they are startling. I was also very intriguing to see that the mens sports basically finance the women's sports programs that are not very profitable at all. There are some schools that have very strong womens basketball teams and I would assume that they make a fairly decent profit, but they are few and far between. I really enjoyed the ability to ask questions and discuss the material during the presentation. I think that it gave us the chance to really analyze the material and get a sense for how startling some of the numbers can be. As far as financial distribution goes, I think that sports programs are very lucrative for universities and need to be maintained. However, there is more than enough money in the system to make the distribution of wealth a little more even between academics and athletics.
