It might be strange to an outsider to see a sports gambler complain about the NCAA’s integrity, or lack thereof. But the vast majority of us just want to see a fair game. The NCAA often spoils it for us.

The typical college jocktocracy is ripe for corruption. At the base, you have “student-athletes” who receive scholarships, but no income. Yet they generate billions of dollars for their colleges and their highly paid coaches. Even the scholarships are of questionable value; graduation rates for football and basketball students are low, despite the prevalence of courses like ballroom dancing and organic gardening.

The NCAA drops the hammer from time to time – 16 FBS schools are on some form of probation this year. But coaches regularly get away with a fine and a slap on the wrist for recruiting violations, while students aren’t allowed to get fed lunch. This may be sports, but it certainly isn’t education. It’s indentured servitude.
