Ammateur Sports Assignment Summary

During my research on Amateur sports in the NCAA, I discovered many different facts within each of the three divisions. One similarity I noticed throughout all of the Divisions was that they consider education to be the first priority. I found this funny because in most Division I schools they always seem to be getting into trouble with athlete's grades or with helping their athletes complete their school work. NCAA also stresses the importance of amateurism and how it preserves an academic environment. In the end, all three Divisions in the NCAA share the idea that education is first but they also have many different ideas.

Piracy

Sony recently had trouble with the movie The Interview. Somehow Sony had gotten hacked into and the movie has been uploaded to many sites on the internet allowing people to stream the movie freely. Sony is being sued while their movie is being pirated all over the internet.
