  • Summary


  • In 1989, Rick Telander of Sports Illustrated revealed a harsh reality: the concept of amateurism in college sports originated as a way for wealthy athletes to keep sports exclusive to their social class. The NCAA embraced this model because, in the 1800s, it was the only way to justify profit-driven college sports. This unsettling history is worth recalling the next time a college coach defends the NCAA's regulations.
