A couple of nights ago I watched the HBO documentary  Student Athlete about US University athletes. It was really good. And while I knew that the NCAA screw over a lot of athletes (especially football and basketball), I never really understood the extent of how badly athletes are screwed over. I mean I knew they didn't get paid while schools take in millions. But I never considered things like athletes left with permanent debilitating injuries or useless degrees or in some cases both. It made it especially crazy when they showed the number of athletes recruited for football and basketball and then the tiny number that make the NFL/NBA.

John Oliver did an episode on that. It's horrible how badly they screwed them over all while making tons of money off of them.
