Yes....and it only gets worse which is what I am saying.  Stacked becomes more stacked.  Further consolidation of power, wealth and control

So you agree that NCAA revenues should be divided equally among all member institutions, right?
I can't imagine that someone so concerned with the well-being of smaller programs would tolerate a system in which power conference schools like those in the Big 10 and SEC receive operate with the benefit of budgets 5 to 10 times larger than some of their smaller DI programs.

No, just as I don't agree everyone should be paid the same....should all lawyers be paid the same?  Let me know if you agree with that statement.

You keep stating words that were never said.  I believe each of these kids is getting a scholarship grant in aid, whether it is from Michigan or Prairie View A&M....it's a D1 scholarship to cover education, room and board.  That's what I believe they EARNED and the value exchange they are given in return for competing for said school.   Conference revenues are often split equally, but that's up to the conference.  NCAA revenues...some are split equally and some are a product of success based outcomes (i.e. advancing into the NCAA tournament). I am fine with that approach.

The rich get richer every year.  The gap gets bigger every year regardless of doing what is best for the student athlete.

I thought that's why we have people and organizations / controlling mechanisms to stop that from getting out of control and protecting those folks.  Hmm.

How many sports did UCLA have to shut down because of this?

”One comment I would like to make is on the weight of the kid.  You and others continue to bring this up.  In the BBC this morning, they mentioned Zimmerman is 5'9", he's a little guy.  Martin is 6'3".   Zimmerman may weigh more, but if Martin has 6 inches on him he also has leverage.  It's the first time I have seen any report mentioning the height of those involved.  If you're a little guy at 5'9" and you have a 6'3" guy on top of you slamming your head against the pavement and breaking your nose, then I can see pulling a gun. --Hoopaloop

Ask those in hiring. It’s not a requirement but the main avenue for people to get into coaching, which includes playing in HS. Basketball isn’t big in the Asian-American culture in the first place (sports in general are often frowned upon) which leads to a limited number of candidates for jobs.

Basketball is popular in China!
