As you know, male college athletes generate well over $1 billion in revenue for the NCAA. Virtually all of the profit in these sports comes from just two teams, MENS Football and Mens basketball. Despite these guys working full time and busting their asses to make these teams and stay on them, the money they make for the school is not even paid to them, but taken away and "redistributed" to female college athletics programs when not a single one of them generates a profit and in fact the two biggest financial losers are women's basketball and womens Track and Field.

​

In my opinion this is just another way that Men's rights are thrown under the bus, as these players are clearly doing a job. They are on tv, just like the pros, the school is making money off them, the coaches and staff on these teams are not some volunteers but paid millions of dollars, while the players taking all the injuries and suffering, blood, sweat and tears are paid nothing so that females can get to play dead end sports with no meaning like woman's rowing.

​

While California took a step in the right direction it doesn't go far enough because it takes too long to come into effect, it should be immediate. Further it doesn't recognize these student athletes for what they truly are, unpaid workers, doing work that would normally be compensated for.

​

"Moreover, the NCAA asserts that permitting pay would make athletes less integrated into their campus communities. If an “athlete was being paid and it changed significantly their lifestyle,” NCAA President Mark Emmert testified in a previous federal antitrust case, “they probably would not be living in a residence hall. They probably would not be eating in the cafeteria, they probably would not be as — as active a member or participant in the life of a campus.”

That is right, we need good happy slaves to stay on their plantation, can't have them living somewhere else getting dangerous ideas in their heads.

" But unfortunately, the NCAA has been citing the Vanskike case for years. A core part of the NCAA’s argument is that the 13th Amendment ALLOWS FOR SLAVERY for prisoners, and college athletes are more like prisoners than they are like free men and women. They keep coming back to the argument because it works for them. In the Livers case, the NCAA isn’t even relying on Vanskike, it’s relying on Berger v. NCAA.

Berger is a Seventh Circuit case that came out in 2016 (yeah, 2016, not 1916) that directly applied Vanskike’s reasoning to college athletes to decide that, like prisoners working in a prison, there was no employment relationship between the NCAA and its athletes. Therefore, the schools didn’t have to pay them a minimum wage in accordance with the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA)."

And then we get to the meat and potatoes, the schools view modern day men as SLAVES. Which explains why they love to treat them like trash and kick them out for the slightest false accusation. College in America is increasingly becoming no place for young men to go. All of this is just about training men to work hard, expect nothing, so women can have fun at your expense. How many females in these athletic departments getting paid big bucks while men break bones on sports field and are legal slaves who go unpaid?
