With the recent scandals in college basketball, is it time to re-evaluate how student athletes are compensated.

The thought

Once again, College athletics finds itself in the middle of another scandal. Assuming you don’t live under a rock, you’ve probably heard about the recruiting scandal that rocked college basketball to its core. It cost former future hall of fame coach Rick Pitino his job at Louisville and now that the FBI is involved, other coaches will probably face the same fate as more details are brought to light.

This scandal is reminiscent of the Pony Express scandal back in the 80s that resulted in the infamous death penalty for SMUs football program, a penalty that the program still hasn’t recovered from.
