The Astonishing Return of Jim Brown

The greatest running back in NFL history is, some allowance for hyperbole aside, making sense:

The NCAA is probably the most reprehensible organization God ever created,” the Hall of Fame running back said at a roundtable discussion on the NFL with Barry Sanders and Harry Carson on his right and host Larry King on his left. “Total exploitation. The kind of money they make, the kind of life they live, it’s embarrassing.”

The comment came in response to a question from a fan about why a player with a career-ending injury in college could not receive a payment to compensate for lost future income.

Brown said the NCAA is pretentious when it says it is “doing things for the young people.”

“I’m totally for change and total change,” Brown said. “And I think that body needs to be torn apart and put back together with everybody’s best interests in mind.”
