College Sports News
LeBron James is flexing his muscles off the basketball court and serving as an executive producer for an upcoming HBO Sports documentary titled “Student Athlete.” The documentary will highlight the exploitation of student-athletes in amateur athletics and “how they affect uncompensated athletes and their families.”
The 2018-19 college football bowl season already boasts a schedule of 35 games. That leads to what some consider to be a watered-down product during the postseason, with some teams reaching a bowl without even posting a winning record.
