Late last month, the Supreme Court ruled that NCAA Division I football and men's basketball programs could provide new educational incentives to athletes. Writing for the Atlantic, Angel Pérez reports that the decision will help compensate athletes in commercially lucrative sports, especially those who come from low-income backgrounds. But, Pérez also writes that the move could widen the inequality gap, with universities offering new benefits to wealthy students.
Our guests discuss the decision and what it means for the future of college sports. Our guests:
- Scott Pitoniak, longtime Rochester sports columnist and author
- Jake Wojtowicz, instructor at MCC teaching ethics, and contributing writer for PublicEthics.org
