The author was trying to bring to light the wide difference that exist between the college basketball players in revenues they generate for the league, coaches, companies in direct comparison to the amount of money which they get inorder to support their academic pursuits in college.

"Even though many of these players are nationally recognizable and influential figures, they are prohibited from profiting from their social status. Meanwhile, the people who surround these players, including coaches and athletic directors, make major money off of these players’ performance."
An example is the information on $986 million being spent annually on student-athlete scholarships at these schools to support 45,000 student athletes.
