August 6, 2013: When Jay Bilas Punk’d the NCAA

Imagine North Korea.  Think about how the contributions of all the common people in that country go straight to the governing body, the dictator.  North Korea has scholars, yet the government says Kim Jong Il is the author of every existing book.  North Korea has athletes, but the record books show that Kim Jong Il shot 38 under par in his first round of golf.  North Korea has laborers, but Kim Jong Il made all the money in the country.

Obviously, the former dictator’s claims were not at all true.  He was too busy to write books because he was focusing on importing mega-sized rabbits.  He couldn’t have possibly been that good of a golfer because they don’t make adult clubs small enough for a man of his size.  And clearly he didn’t make all the money; he had the impoverished citizens do all the work so he could bring in more money to spend on Hennessy.  The man was undoubtedly taking credit for other people’s accomplishments.

Imagine North Korea again.  Now imagine that all the citizens of North Korea are college athletes.  Imagine that the governing body of these college athletes is finding any possible way it can to make money from them.  Imagine that these athletes are getting no recognition or compensation from the governing body for their hard work.
