Video: John Oliver on the NCAA

"The NCAA doesn't pay athletes because they consider them amateurs. The NCAA considers them amateurs because they don't get paid."

We here at Volleyball Source are big fans of John Oliver and his HBO show Last Week Tonight.  This past week, he discusses something we have a lot of experience with: college athletics.  While volleyball isn't a moneymaker at the level of football or basketball, this video is a good watch for those unfamiliar with how much money the NCAA and schools actually earn and spend.
