Sportswriter extraordinaire Bob Molinaro takes the opportunity provided by the end of the NCAA basketball tournament to reflect on how the NCAA fosters friendly amateur competition does business and (my words, not his) steals labor. A snippet.

On Sunday, Emmert argued that the Northwestern football team’s attempt to unionize, “would blow up everything about the collegiate model of athletics.”

And that’s a bad thing?

Do please read the rest.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
