If you're the National Collegiate Athletic Association, it's probably best to not brag about giving athletes things for free. The NCAA continuously takes heat for not paying their athletes and not giving them rights to their own image and likeness—and rightly so. They profit billions of dollars, while student athletes are supposed to feel grateful for being constantly pulled from class to pursue their hair-thin chances of making it to the big leagues? Yeah, right.So when the NCAA tweeted that they were giving all March Madness student-athletes free wi-fi at their hotels, Golden State Warriors center and former Vanderbilt Commodore Festus Ezeli hit them back with some realness:The NCAA provides free wi-fi to student-athletes at all of the team hotels during the DI men's basketball championship.
