Rep. Rush explains why he thinks you can 'compare the NCAA...to the Mafia'
The Penn State sex abuse scandal has brought increased scrutiny to the culture of big-time college football. Critics claim that the sports governing body, the NCAA, is exploiting students in the pursuit of substantial profits. These profits, critics say, are generated on the backs of unpaid college athletes that have few legal rights.
Today on American Morning, Rep. Bobby Rush explains to Alina Cho why he thinks you can "compare the NCAA...to the Mafia."
