A capitalistic solution for the great inequity in NCAA sports.

On the eve of the real NCAA Men's Basketball tournament (play ins are BS), I think of the $5,000,000 towel biting coach praying for a buzzer beating triple from his uncompensated guard to reach overtime.

Forget the argument that these are amateur athletes, that went out the window with $100 plus seats and $12 beers.

The solution is for the collusion loving NCAA to take the reins off of the athletes ability to sell their names and likenesses. It will cost a University not a dime when the 6'9 forward earns $2000 for signing autographs at the local car dealer, or the 7 foot guard earns $5000 for pitching the nearby credit union.

Enough of the hypocrisy. If a player is to climb the million dollar Werner ladder.....at least a few of the shekels should land in his pocket.

...and for the record, I hate Imo's pizza!
