VIDEO: Tom Izzo Compares Sport With Unpaid Labor to a Business to Defend Flipping Out on Aaron Henry

No. 2 Michigan State defeated No. 15 Colgate to advance to the Round of 32 in the ​NCAA Tournament. However, it's not the game that has gotten all the attention, it was head coach ​Tom Izzo's heated confrontation with player Aaron Henry. After the game, Izzo defended flipping out on Henry by calling college basketball a "business." Izzo continued by saying he would do the same thing to reporters if he ran a newspaper company and they didn't do their jobs properly.

​​If you want to be technical, reporters get paid by media outlets. College athletes don't see a dime from the massive money maker that is March Madness.

Yes, athletes are bound to get yelled at by their coach for not playing up to expectations. That's second nature. However, comparing college basketball to a "business" is as shortsighted as the NCAA's "A Day in the Life of a Student Athlete" video.
