Former and current student-athletes blast NCAA Twitter ad
Not a day goes by without the NCAA getting roasted on the internet and Tuesday proved to be no different.
Just days after releasing its “a day in the life” of a student athlete video on Twitter, the NCAA has been met with fierce responses from former collegiate athletes and even some current student-athletes.

The responses ranged from brutally honest to absolutely ruthless. Many pointed to inaccuracy of the portrayal of a day for a student-athlete while others poked at the lack of pay for athletes.
