It may take a while, and cost millions in attorney fees, but look at what can be squeezed from everyone's favorite all things to all people organization.the NCAA will create a $10 million fund over the next three years to reimburse former student athletes for educational costs they previously incurred. The NCAA will also make an additional $218 million available to current Division I schools to pay for benefits given to college athletes enrolled between the 2007 and 2013 academic years.I'm not a fan of big-dollar over-the-top litigation, but it's hard to be sympathetic towards the NCAA here. I don't necessarily think they need to pay athletes, but the time is coming soon to end the charade that they're really amateurs -- particularly when the NCAA gets shaken a little and over $200 million falls out.
