30. The "rules"

Fri Nov 16, 2018, 07:28 PM

Nov 2018

The rules are written for Men's College Basketball and Football. Can you explain to me the last bribery scandal for women's track?

Between sports betting, merchandize, tickets etc the colleges make a killing and they don't pass that along as a rebate to the campuses.

The entire college sports is a sham that should die a fast death.
