Jay Bilas 1, NCAA 0.

The ESPN analyst and former Duke player embarrassed the NCAA with a series of tweets and further exposed their hypocrisy of continually using college athletes to rake in millions of dollars, while preventing them from making any money off themselves, such as the case with the ongoing investigation into Heisman winner Johnny Manziel for selling his autograph.

Bilas opened by demonstrating that if you search Manziel’s name on ShopNCAAsports.com, a page comes up with Texas A&M merchandise, including jerseys with Manziel’s number, despite the fact that the NCAA claims that it does not sell specific jerseys for individual players.

Bilas showed that similar searches for other marquee players, such as Alabama’s A.J. McCarron and South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney, in college football produced the same results. Soon after, the search engine was removed from the website.

Bilas closed his attack with a tweet of a picture of several clowns, his joke on what comes up on the site if you did a search for “NCAA Executive Committee”
