NCAA Division I schools coordinate compensation for men’s basketball and football players (precluding actual pay and limiting non-monetary benefits), providing rents to member schools (which may be shared with others) at the expense of those players.

I would say "Strongly agree, Certainty 10," but noting that I know *nothing* about sports, I'm dialing this back to "Agree, Certainty 7"

While the statement seems correct, there may be socially appropriate reasons for the practice described.

A top nba coach gets $7-8m/yr and a top player makes 4X that. A top college coach gets $6m but the players get nothing. WTF?

See the big jump in compensation for some college athletes when they turn pro (despite caps on rookie salaries).
