>> led a a class action suit against the ncaa. currently being appealed by the ncaa. as we look at money and college sports in advance of the ncaa, a bill that's introduced to pay players for their hard work, and a former ncaa enforcement officers and lori williams welcome to the program. do you sympathize with a darius robinson, who still doesn't control his own image in making money now? >> certainly. thanks ray. there's an opportunity for student athletes to benefit from their name and likeness. so it's unfortunate that at the time mr. robinson didn't have that opportunity. however, the student athletes owned that. it's who they are essentially as individuals, so they should have the opportunity to be able to benefit from their name and likeness. so it's unfortunate that he was in a position to not be able to benefit during his time. but certainly with the recent decision in the ongoing case that may change for future student athletes. >> well, senator kimson, darius robinson played at clemson. would the bill have helped him or helped him during his active career?

today, the ncaa's annual revenue is estimated at around $1 billion. most of this income is from tv networks that pay the ncaa for the rights to show its annual basketball tournament. but for the lavish salaries of the ncaa are attracting increasing attention. whereas ncaa president mark emmert made $1.7 million in the 2011 calendar year, his athletes are treated quite differently. in recent years, the ncaa's unpaid athletes have been penalized for signing autographs, receiving discount services and even for eating free food. so today, a rising tide of voices is arguing that collegiate athletes must be compensated beyond their educational scholarships. here's how espn basketball analyst, jay bilas, explains the argument. >> why would we deny athletes the right to fair market value and compensation in this multibillion-dollar business when no other student is restricted from being compensated, let alone coaches and administrators? they're all getting their fair market value based upon this multibillion-dollar enterprise. and my thing is, if they're old

tonight we're asking -- should ncaa players be paid?y athletes shouldn't get paid. to me, i feel like a lot of this is set up just to punish poor kids. a lot of these rules. the fact that somebody can't buy you dinner and you get punished for that. >> sell your name, if you autograph something if it's worth money, that should be up to you and the person spending money on it. >> manziel, we know he did. the comments expressed by larry wilmore are not necessarily -- >> larry: i got you, johnny! you're saying that? >> i didn't say anything. >> larry: can we just start with perks maybe? instead of money? >> contractually, i make sure i'm paid, my perks include high fives and pats on the bum and maybe a couple of good games. but these guys are rich and titans of the high fives industry. i would say, blow it out, expand it a little bit and maybe like hugs, kissies. >> larry: is there a constitutional element here? because why can't a player get kissies or make money off his own image? >> two things, i'm pretty skeptical of the whole system. m

the ncaa walked a tight rope. >> i think they handled it well.le and going forward how would we keep our business here and how can we have championships here? i think sports took us to a national conversation where we want to go just like with penn state and domestic violence. i think that's a positive thing. >> and former governor mike huckabee had this to say about the situation in arkansas. >> the reason those corporations put the pressure on indiana and arkansas was because militant gay community put the pressure on them. >> he's talking about, of course you know, when apple's ceo came out and walmart blasted both of these laws in the two respective states. mike huckabee talking about the militant gay community. it's a touchy subject around the country. how do we navigate this? >> i'm upset. i've been openly gay for a long time and i'm not part of the militant organization. i want to know where it's located. i haven't seen it yet. mike huckabee is testing the water to see whether or not there's water for him to room for 2016. that's what the

the ncaa gets to play high and mighty about this law.think as activists, as people who care about this stuff, we have to thread this needle carefully and say it is great that you're on this side but what are you going to do next? >> this is a tough one. this really is about the idea -- part of what i find fascinating from the republican party is threading that needle around business economic development and this question. all of it happening in a presidential primary season which we'll talk about now. that idea of the ncaa finding itself against a republican governor just strikes me as shocking this week. >> i have been working with corporations for inclusion and that the gay community was a great ta lon and you should hire us. we have won that war. i have to say my jaw dropped when the ncaa i was stunned because that is a male oriented sport and when i'm seeing the military, when i'm seeing the sports community come around that's why i think it's important for us not to look at the enemy of the good. we should applaud when something goo

the ncaa has said it's not their job to ensure educational quality.guest knows all too well about balancing academics and the pressure of playing sports at high level. marlon rolle played football at oregon state university is a rhodes scholar, played in the nfl and is now a medical student. they say we don't have day-to-day responsibility for what actually happens in the classroom. >> thank you for having me. i believe there's more the ncaa can do as well as individual institutions. i think that once the ncaa and institutions realize that this once amateur model of college sports no longer exists then we can start making real progress. as you said i'm a second-year medical student to be a pediatric neurosurgeon. the i see a patient this patient has all the clinical signs and indications of low-bar pneumonia, i tell my attending physician. my attending physician says this is a broken foot, that attending physician is denying what's happening, analogous to what's happen in the ncaa. there's so much money and pressure and highlights and exposure for the

i think that's the same thing to the ncaa.ing that there is so much money and pressure and highlights and exposure for these young athletes that it's bordering on professionalism. >> the rhodes scholarship application process is legendary for its rigorous nature. what was the reaction of your football coaches in college when they became aware of the fact you were making that application? >> well i wanted to do the rhodes scholarship since i heard about bill bradley. i had a chance to hear about bill bradley's awesomeness, basically, in college and in being a rock star in that respect. when i got to florida state i went to the office of national fellowships and said look, i want to be a rhodes scholar like bill bradley. when i applied as you said it's intense, you have to go through many interviews write a personal statement that tells the trust why you want to be a rhodes scholar and how this education kand help your interests moving forward. there was a little resistance from coaches but for the most part i got a lot of suppo

we saw the ncaa voice their outrage. indiana's law is more important than the final four.tly the sort of perspective that we've been missing in sports. they're not always in the right place, but kudos for them taking a stand this week and saying we're not going to support states and localities that don't support all of our players and equality. >> sounds like they were willing to pull out if they were not going to rethink this bill. it was too close with the final four. >> football is always reacting to domestic violence and controversies. the ncaa said this is more important than basketball. >> all final four coaches signed onto a letter opposing indiana's law and strong comments from the ncaa president as well. >> what are kentucky's chances? >> i would put kentucky's chances very good. >> abby goes all in on anything. she's wearing the blue. she's ready to go. >> looks like duke blue to me. >> i grew up going to utah games, which their color is red. sad that i'm wearing inging blue all the time. i can't wait to watch basketball this weekend. >>> coming up next i lay dow
