"As we near the exciting conclusion of 'March Madness' -- which would more accurately be described as the 2011 NCAA Professional Basketball Championships -- it's time we step back and finally address the myth of amateurism surrounding big-time college football and basketball in this country," said Nader, whose League of Fans is proposing that the scholarships be replaced with need-based financial aid.

Nader, a former presidential candidate, argued that his plan would also help reduce the "win-at-all-costs" mentality in high schools, by reducing the incentive of college scholarships.</p>

Don't answer that.

Ralph, shady people take advantage of good things all the damn time. The lazy answer is to eliminate the innocence being abused. Use your 17ing head you moron.

I think government is a good thing when used correctly. There's a bunch of greedy idiot *** holes running the show right now. That doesn't mean I'm going to call for anarchy to fix the problem any time soon...
