WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT

WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT

One rule that the NCAA has adopted to govern intercollegiate athletics is amateurism, which at its broadest level, means that to remain eligible, college athletes cannot accept compensation beyond their scholarships. Following soon after these lawsuits challenging the NCAA’s amateurism model is conference realignment. Between 2010–2013, colleges across the United States moved from one conference to another. What resulted was a reshaping of college athletics, which ended rivalries and, in some cases, resulted in schools having to travel much further distances to compete.
