This House Believes That India should adopt the NCAA model for collegiate sports (Chain kuli ki main kuli)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) governs sport across US universities, with athletic departments acting as sports franchises. Athletes compete on scholarships and,can earn through personal endorsements. India's AIU (Association of Indian Universities) organises inter-university competition and the system is not as commercialised. Elite Indian athletes develop through SAI (Sports Authority of India) academies and state associations as opposed to university pathways.
