This article on the NCAA titled ""The Shame of College Sports" is written by Taylor Branch, and is featured as the cover story of "The Atlantic Monthly" for September. Frank Deford has called it "the most important article ever written about college sports." I'm not going to agree or disagree with that; but, it is eye opening on a level that I don't know if I've ever seen before. If you haven't heard about it, or read it already,.... then you definitely need to.
