The NCAA is not obsessed with amateurism; they are obsessed with the appearance of amateurism.

The idea is that "these are student-athletes, their reward is getting a good college degree which will last the rest of their life without paying for tuition or accomodation". Yes, it's one of the most staggeringly brass-necked hypocritical things you've ever heard of. Welcome to America.

What's the value of a free ride if you use it to major in general studies? I had a quick look at the Michigan wrestling roster; there's some guys doing actual degrees and plenty doing the classic football majors.
