Guard the Post: The Current (and Future) State of the NCAA

 

In today's (social) media landscape, stories travel faster than an Alabama fan leaving the Stadium in the 2nd quarter with the Tide up by 40. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has been at the forefront of the sport conversation for weeks now, especially during this football season. From Schooled: The Price of College Sports to Arian Foster, and All Players United (APU) to the Ed O'Bannon case, the NCAA is an massive entity that is continuously being criticized by everyone across the country.

The Closer: Recap of "Schooled: The Price of College Sports"

As a Drexel student, it is hard to imagine Beaver Stadium on a Saturday, or the Carrier Dome when Notre Dame comes to play Syacuse. Yesterday, myself, along with anyone else that attends or works at a modest university with moderate athletic facilities, were reminded how "the other half" lives; boy were our eyes opened.

The Closer: Preview of Schooled: The Price of College Sports

 

Tonight, Tuesday, October 8th, 2013, a specialty, one-of-a-kind documentary is premiering in New York City. Schooled: The Price of College Sports, an EPIX Original Documentary, is a "comprehensive look at the business, history and culture of big-time college football and basketball in America."

The Closer: Arian Foster took extra money while at Tennessee...WHO CARES?

The biggest headline to hit the NCAA and college football this past week had nothing to do with what happened on the field. It wasn't that #4 Ohio State shutout Florida A&M 76-0 or that #7 Louisville shutout Florida International 72-0 (tough to play football in Florida right now if you aren't FSU, Florida, or Miami). No, the biggest headline had to do with a player that finished the college game 5 years ago: Arian Foster, running back for the Houston Texans.
