TITLE: The NCAA's Perfectly Fair Rules

Aasif Mandvi tests the NCAA's image as a disinterested steward of amateur athletics protecting college sports from the corrosive influences of commercialism.

Hilarious performance by Aasif Mandvi.

Pretty shady for the Minnesota wrestler.

NCAA only cares about the well being of student athletes. And NAMBLA just really cares about the well being of boys.

.. but you (umm, not Cal PB) seem kinda weird, mister.

Other than that only gonna confess that as a fan, every year for decades, i've felt a little bit dirty about contributing the usual amount to Bear Backers / ATO, taking advantage of teenage recruit's long-shot dreams just so i can cheer for and behold intercollegiate spectacles.

#said too much.. didn't say enuf.
