They knew the rules but took money, cars and benefits anyways. College sports are amateur sports
"The biggest con in the history of sports was the amateurism model. But more than that, it was how we were brainwashed to react to these types of infractions. We were conditioned to think that anyone who broke an NCAA rule — regardless of the reason or how ridiculous the rule was — was a terrible person. The NCAA criminalized activities that are second nature in a country programmed to pursue wealth."
