Sports in society

Part I: (15 points and approximately 350 words) 

Provide three arguments by citing insights from your readings that would support this claim: 

“College athletes in big-time sports (i.e., NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball) are often exploited by the NCAA and their member institutions.” 

Make sure you outline NCAA’s concept of “amateurism” for one of your arguments, and how the NCAA and its member institutions restrict the “freedom of athletes” as another one of your arguments. 

You can then choose one additional insight from the readings (Eitzen and/or Holstein et al.) that also supports the “exploitation” claim.
