This quote would be great 30 years ago.
But college basketball is big business whether we like it or not:

Louisville makes $43 million in revenue per year. The idea of the "student-athlete" in college basketball is dead for big schools. We should stop pretending that all of these athletes are students first. Many of them are not, and they don't want to be. As long as there is big money in college sports, it will make its way through the players whether you try to stop it or not.
