Say what you will about the NCAA but they do a good job ensuring a level playing field for all college athletes (despite being Nazis while doing it).

It's no fun hearing about poor athletes struggling to eat at college but, at the very least, the Manziels and the Gurleys of the US are held to an identical standard and that counts for something.

The scandals say otherwise. They are absolutely terrible at it.

The only efficiency they excel at is screwing over the players

When the students working at concession stand at a football game are paid while the players aren't, it's not a fair system. So many students get paid for what they do in conjunction with their studies. If a third string swimmer teaches lessons on weekends, nobody stops him from getting paid. The rules only seem to apply to top athletes.
