Paying college players has been a hot topic of debate across the country.

The argument, of course, is that the NCAA reaps the financial rewards of their amateur athletes.

This was a topic

took their shot

at last year.

Aasif Mandvi

interviewed f

ormer UCLA player and NBA pro Ed O’Bannon , who's suing the NCAA for using his likeness in a video game.

But the center of the piece was the story of University of Minnesota wrestler Joel Bauman, who says he lost his eligibility because he wrote and produced a song.

"I have 10 percent scholarship," Bauman said. "That doesn't cover a lot. On top of that, I cover my living expenses. The song hasn't made me rich. I haven't even broke even. Right now, the NCAA owns the name Joel Bauman until I graduate."

Mandvi then stated sarcastically:

"Yes, this type of profiteering would sully the NCAA's image as Stuarts of amateur athletics. After all, their mission is to protect college sports from the corrosive influence of commercialism and to uphold the ideal of the student-athlete who simply plays for the love of the sport."

The sarcasm is rich and the piece has its share of humor, but do you think the piece drives home the point? And has your opinion of the issue changes in the past year since this video was made?

Take a look at the video and tell us what you think.
