I’ve been to two NCAA Final Fours. Both times I was struck by the $$$$ generated by the sport. Good for O’Bannon. It’s also totally clear that O’Bannon is in no way grandstanding on any of this. O’Bannon’s description of the ability to change in life is excellent. Modest guy, articulate–really interesting interview. “The athletes deserve something. Something.” How can I guy be ostracized/criticized for trying to right such an obvious wrong?
