The sentiment by many is that places like Duke exploit poor black kids that play in college but never make it to the pro's and end up broke. That might be the case, I don't know but honestly, I think you need to look at the outcome data as a whole and see the benefit/harm that is occurring.
You could make the argument that college athletics has helped bring many people out of poverty by giving them an education.
