The multi-billion dollar price tag on the health of college athletes
In short: US universities generate massive revenue from sports, but at what cost to the players? This talk explores how the current system prioritizes profit over the well-being and education of student-athletes.
Sports lawyer and former NCAA investigator Tim Nevius examines the systemic exploitation of college athletes. He argues that the pursuit of money, power, and pride by universities compromises the health and academic progress of students, who are disproportionately Black.
Nevius identifies the need for fundamental reforms to protect young talent from a system that prioritizes commercial success over the human beings who make it possible.
