Former Alabama star Ryan Anderson calls NCAA 'biggest pimps in America'

As college basketball continues to be in the headlines in the midst of a federal investigation, talk of amateur athletes and the money made by the universities continues to be a hot-button issue.

On Tuesday night, Washington Redskins linebacker and former Alabama star Ryan Anderson took to social media, calling the NCAA "the biggest pimps in America."

Former Alabama teammates joined him in the conversation.

Anderson tweeted, "Used to give us a $100 check every month my freshman year." That, of course, is a reference to a stipend as part of a student-athletes scholarship.
