Deadspin received a tip the NCAA would rather they not have, I’m sure. They (Deadspin) has downloaded and posted the last 5 years worth of NCAA financial statements. I haven’t combed through them myself, but the folks at Deadspin have and found the NCAA made $24 million in profit in 2008 for starters. Guess it’s good to be the NCAA- less so to play for them.
I think it’ll get a little tougher for them to justify their actions regarding student-athletes whom try to make a little extra on the side.
Wonder what else will be found?
