re: Is there a rational argument for the NCAA going forward?

quote:

---

1. Fairly and consistently regulate, and
2. At a cost to member institutions far less than the $1 B they currently collect from the March Madness tourney

Which are 2 good reasons why the NCAA as we know it will probably cease to exist, but still, a regulatory board of some sort is necessary in whatever type of business, probably especially sport, which is absolutely big business these days. All pro sports leagues have regulatory organizations.

Corruption in any organization, be it unions, hoa boards, congressional boards, is a constant problem that has to be monitored, but without which business would be even more corrupt.

Surely nobody actually believes that a business as big as college sports can carry on without some sort of agreed upon regulations, and in order to have that, there has to be a board or committee to monitor that.
