Podcast: Myth Busting With Bomani Jones
The business of college sports has come under fire in recent weeks. Bomani Jones, host of The Morning Jones, checks in with Homerism for a podcast to discuss the farcical notions of amateurism that undergird major college athletics, as well as the potential for reforming the system.
Bomani and I discuss:
- the truth about the NCAA – and its similarities to the IMF;
- why fans don't really want to see college athletes get paid;
- who is profiting from the bizarre economics of college sports; and
- what effective reform would require.
