"Dr Boyce Watkins, Finance Professor at Syracuse University, tells BBC World News that the NCAA has done a terrible job of seeing to it that African American players graduate."
Isn't it up to the African American players to see to it that they graduate?
The white coaches are the ones who are asking the players to miss classes to play in those basketball games. They bear some responsibility too.
Dr. Boyce, you once stated that you were a fiscal conservative and capitalist. Where are the articles promoting those? How come every article has to be about such non-issues as paying players in the NCAA?
I am happy that someone of your caliber is taking on this issue. Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West are remaining silent. We need someone to talk about this.
Righteous interview. I am glad that you are taking on this problem. I played sports in college and the way they treated us made me feel like cattle.
