Bowled Over

"There are those who oppose Congress taking any action because they oppose government intervention in sports on general principle. One critic posted this on an ESPN comment section: 'Too much power being given to the government. Are they going to start regulating when we can use the bathroom or what football game we are allowed to attend?'
"Orwellian potty nightmares aside, government is already involved in college sports. The problem is that it plows millions into state schools with no oversight."

Dave Zirin in the Los Angeles Times criticizes the economics of college football.
