Zirin, D. (2013). The Shame of the NCAA. Nation, 296(13), 24-26. Dave Zirin writes in this Nation article about how much money the NCAA produces through the use of college athletes, and why it is that those athletes do not see a single dime of the money that the NCAA earns. Zirin discusses how this problem relates to corporate sponsors that pay millions of dollars to have their ads shown during commercial breaks of sports games, and how the athletes again do not receive any of that money. Zirin also touches base on other places that the NCAA receives money, however he always ties his topics back to how the athletes are the ones that earn the money but dont see a single cent of it.
