Daniel Riley Sports Talk RadioExposing Amateurism - How Wealth Shaped NCAA RulesIn 1989, Rick Telander of Sports Illustrated revealed a harsh reality: the concept of amateurism in college sports originated as a way for wealthy athletes to keep sports exclusive to their social class. The NCAA embraced this model because, in the 1800s, it was the only way to justify profit-driven college sports. This unsettling history is worth recalling the next time a college coach defends the NCAA's regulations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daniel-riley-sports-talk-radio--4211915/support.🎙 From Passionate World Talk Radio Network — where real conversations matter.
