But the players at the center of it all, banging it out on the court, don't get a dime of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College athletes are considered \"amateurs\" by the NCAA. That means they're prohibited from collecting any kind of monetary compensation (including sponsorship money), even though the tournament they play in has become big business, generating multi-million dollar profits for the NCAA and many of the coaches and schools involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As profits grow each year, a growing contingent of former players and advocates are calling on the NCAA to start allowing student athletes earn their fair share. The league, they say, is exploiting students by profiting from their skill and celebrity status without providing appropriate compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, many big-name schools provide few guarantees for student athletes, many of whom practice upwards of 60 hours a week and risk losing scholarships if they get injured and can't play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/01/27/college-athletes-greatly-overestimate-their-chances-playing-professionally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A 2015 survey\u003c/a> found that just over 1 percent of all men's college basketball players actually get drafted by the NBA, even though about three-quarters of Division I players said they believed playing professionally was at least “somewhat likely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the NCAA remains adamant in its stance against student athletes receiving direct financial compensation, insisting that paying players would corrupt the very spirit and nature of intercollegiate sports. The organization emphasizes that the robust scholarships most top student athletes receive, that typically cover tuition and some living expenses, provide access to a top-notch education at some of the best schools in the country, not to mention the opportunity to play on nationally-recognized teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the NCAA notes that profits from men's basketball and football -- the big intercollegiate revenue generators -- help fund less lucrative sports (because someone's gotta pay for the squash team, right?).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation, however, almost changed dramatically in 2014, when a \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/08/11/federal-judge-ncaa-violates-antitrust-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal judge \u003c/a>ruled that the NCAA’s policy of barring payment to college athletes violated antitrust laws. Former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon, now a car salesman in Las Vegas, was the lead plaintiff in the class-action lawsuit. Years after graduating, he discovered that his avatar had been included in a popular college basketball video game, which he had never consented to, and for which he received no royalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ruled that athletes in top men’s football and basketball programs should be allowed to receive at least $5,000 per year in licensing revenues (essentially, back-pay), which they could collect at the end of their college sports careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NCAA appealed the decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which agreed that the amateurism rules did violate antitrust laws. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/09/30/ed-obannon-ncaa-lawsuit-appeals-court-ruling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in its ruling\u003c/a>, the court fell short of requiring schools to compensate student athletes beyond paying the cost of attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>By the numbers:\u003c/h2>\n\u003ch1>\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\">$0\u003c/span>\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\">Amount of compensation college players are allowed to receive (excluding the value of academic scholarships).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\">$24.2 million \u003c/span>\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>Profits made in 2014 by the Louisville Cardinals, NCAA basketball's top-earning team for that year.

During the Civil War it was one in five.

Some academic studies argue that the disparity is due mainly to non-discriminatory factors related to division of labor in the home -- including childcare -- that often falls more heavily on women. Because of family-related circumstances, like giving birth, women overall are also more likely than men to have interrupted careers and work part-time, which can result in less-senior positions and lower wages. Additionally, women are still more likely than men to be employed in lower-paying service and support professions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some studies, however, point to evidence that the gender wage gap persists even after variables like family leave are taken into account, concluding that systemic discrimination remains a primary factor. This is especially notable for women of color, whose average pay is significantly less than white male counterparts. For every dollar that the average white man made in 2014, the average African-American woman made only 60.5 cents, and the average Latina made only 54.6 cents, according \u003ca href=\"http://nwlc.org/resources/wage-gap-state-state/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NWLC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>By profession\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even within the same professions, women today are still paid significantly less, on average, than men.

The chart below, by Lam Thuy Vo, shows jobs where the wage gap is smallest and largest (based on comparisons of full-time workers). Part of the gap in pay, Vo notes, results from professional decisions some women voluntarily make. She writes: \"Among physicians, for example, women are more likely than men to choose lower-paid specialties (though this does not explain all of the pay gap among doctors).\" It's also interesting to note, writes Vo, that the jobs where the gap is biggest are the one's that pay more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_7453\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 616px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2013/04/jobs-by-gender-616.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7453 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2013/04/jobs-by-gender-616.gif\" alt=\"Percentages are based on the median weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers.

Some academic studies argue that the disparity is due mainly to non-discriminatory factors related to division of labor in the home -- including childcare -- that often falls more heavily on women. Because of family-related circumstances, like giving birth, women overall are also more likely than men to have interrupted careers and work part-time, which can result in less-senior positions and lower wages. Additionally, women are still more likely than men to be employed in lower-paying service and support professions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some studies, however, point to evidence that the gender wage gap persists even after variables like family leave are taken into account, concluding that systemic discrimination remains a primary factor. This is especially notable for women of color, whose average pay is significantly less than white male counterparts. For every dollar that the average white man made in 2014, the average African-American woman made only 60.5 cents, and the average Latina made only 54.6 cents, according \u003ca href=\"http://nwlc.org/resources/wage-gap-state-state/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NWLC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>By profession\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even within the same professions, women today are still paid significantly less, on average, than men.

Discretionary spending makes up less than a third of all federal spending. The remainder of the budget consists of so-called mandatory spending on major programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A significant chunk of the budget is also reserved for interest payments on the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How does the basic budget process work?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There's actually nothing basic about it. Keep in mind that the president's proposal is merely that: a proposal. Typically delivered to Congress in early February (except for first-year presidents who get a few extra weeks), the budget recommendation is no doubt influential; it kicks off the formal budget process and sets the terms of the debate to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ultimately, it's up to Congress to pass an actual budget. And that's typically a months-long process of often agonizing deliberation. This is the time when members of the House and Senate separately decide on spending levels for a vast number of government agencies and eventually agree on a joint House-Senate budget resolution that can be passed in both houses (although usually not without any number of last-minute deals and shenanigans). And because it's considered a resolution and not a law, it doesn't require the president's signature. For more on the nitty-gritty of how the process works, Vox has a \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2017/2/27/14751872/budget-process-explained\" target=\"_blank\">good explainer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: The president almost never gets the exact budget he asks for. President Obama certainly didn't, especially with Republicans controlling both houses. And even though Trump's budget is likely to have some strong and powerful allies in Congress, it's already gotten a somewhat cool reception, even among some members of his own party. In other words, there's little guarantee that some of Trump's most dramatic proposals will actually see the light of day when the final product emerges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the current fiscal year expires on April 28 (a deal made to give Trump greater influence over the FY 2017 budget), which technically means that Congress needs to pass its budget before then in order to keep the government running.

Of that, more than $3.2 trillion was financed by federal revenues, with the remaining amount ($438 billion) paid for by borrowing. Keep in mind that each year's spending gap (the deficit) gets added on to the nation's ever-growing overall debt, which is fast approaching $20 trillion, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/current\" target=\"_blank\">Treasury Department\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of the government's spending falls into three areas: in 2015, 24 percent ($888 billion) was spent on Social Security, 16 percent ($602 billion) on defense, and a jaw-dropping 25 percent ($938 billion) on four health insurance programs -- Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) marketplace subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 10 percent ($362 billion) was spent on safety-net programs and 6 percent ($223 billion) toward interest payments on the national debt. The remaining fifth of government spending in 2015 supported a huge array of public services - from education and transportation, to benefits for veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Why do budget negotiations seem to get so bitter each year?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The very broad answer is that Republican and Democratic leaders have very different ideas about what government is for and how much it should spend on public services. Republicans typically support military spending, and to some extent infrastructure spending, but consistently push to decrease spending on social services, known as entitlement programs, that Democrats generally support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, budget negotiations have been a tortuous process. Bitter disagreement between Democratic and Republican leaders is so common that yearly threats of a government shutdown -- if no budget is approved before the deadline -- have become routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the government \u003cem>did \u003c/em>briefly shut down in 2013 ---from Oct. 1 to Oct. 16 -- because an agreement couldn't be reached before the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What is the debt limit?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Running a nation (as it turns out) is really expensive! And the federal government's revenue stream, which it largely collects through payroll and income taxes, simply doesn't cover the vast amount it spends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, it's Congress that ultimately approves the annual budget and determines the federal taxes that will pay for it. The president is legally required to spend the money in the budget using the revenue from those taxes. But the budget is almost always higher than tax revenues. And so when the Treasury Department reaches that limit, the president asks Congress to increase the amount the government is allowed to borrow in order to pay off its expenses and, literally, keep the government running. This is called the debt limit, or the debt ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How long have we had a debt limit?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The debt limit was established in 1917 to address concerns over the nation's borrowing so it could pay for America's involvement in World War I. It was also intended to give the Treasury Department greater autonomy in deciding how that borrowed cash could be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In line with many other Western European and North American nations, indebtedness has been a constant throughout America's financial history. In fact, the only year in our entire existence that we've been in the black was 1835, during the extreme small-government reign of President Andrew Jackson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our process, though, is somewhat distinct -- and idiosyncratic -- in that Congress typically approves more spending than it has income to pay for, but doesn't \u003cem>also\u003c/em> automatically approve the necessary borrowing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weird, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debt ceiling has been raised more than 100 times since 1917, but until the mid-1970s it generally didn't spark much political controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1980s, though, federal spending rose significantly, and so did the debt.

Discretionary spending makes up less than a third of all federal spending. The remainder of the budget consists of so-called mandatory spending on major programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A significant chunk of the budget is also reserved for interest payments on the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How does the basic budget process work?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There's actually nothing basic about it. Keep in mind that the president's proposal is merely that: a proposal. Typically delivered to Congress in early February (except for first-year presidents who get a few extra weeks), the budget recommendation is no doubt influential; it kicks off the formal budget process and sets the terms of the debate to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ultimately, it's up to Congress to pass an actual budget. And that's typically a months-long process of often agonizing deliberation. This is the time when members of the House and Senate separately decide on spending levels for a vast number of government agencies and eventually agree on a joint House-Senate budget resolution that can be passed in both houses (although usually not without any number of last-minute deals and shenanigans). And because it's considered a resolution and not a law, it doesn't require the president's signature. For more on the nitty-gritty of how the process works, Vox has a \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2017/2/27/14751872/budget-process-explained\" target=\"_blank\">good explainer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: The president almost never gets the exact budget he asks for. President Obama certainly didn't, especially with Republicans controlling both houses. And even though Trump's budget is likely to have some strong and powerful allies in Congress, it's already gotten a somewhat cool reception, even among some members of his own party. In other words, there's little guarantee that some of Trump's most dramatic proposals will actually see the light of day when the final product emerges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding for the current fiscal year expires on April 28 (a deal made to give Trump greater influence over the FY 2017 budget), which technically means that Congress needs to pass its budget before then in order to keep the government running. The typical fiscal year runs from October through September, and if everything goes according to the \u003ca href=\"http://budget.house.gov/budgetprocess/budgettimetable.htm\" target=\"_blank\">official timetable -- \u003c/a>which it almost never does -- the process is wrapped up by the end of June.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much does the government spend, and on what?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_26155\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-26155 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-1020x1668.png\" alt=\"Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\" width=\"640\" height=\"1047\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-1020x1668.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-160x262.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-800x1308.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-768x1256.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-1180x1929.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-960x1570.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-240x392.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-375x613.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176-520x850.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/3-4-16bud-policybasics_2-e1488655544176.png 1247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In fiscal year 2015, the federal government spent $3.7 trillion (that's with 12 zeros), according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=1258\" target=\"_blank\">Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\u003c/a>. Of that, more than $3.2 trillion was financed by federal revenues, with the remaining amount ($438 billion) paid for by borrowing. Keep in mind that each year's spending gap (the deficit) gets added on to the nation's ever-growing overall debt, which is fast approaching $20 trillion, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/current\" target=\"_blank\">Treasury Department\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of the government's spending falls into three areas: in 2015, 24 percent ($888 billion) was spent on Social Security, 16 percent ($602 billion) on defense, and a jaw-dropping 25 percent ($938 billion) on four health insurance programs -- Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) marketplace subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 10 percent ($362 billion) was spent on safety-net programs and 6 percent ($223 billion) toward interest payments on the national debt. The remaining fifth of government spending in 2015 supported a huge array of public services - from education and transportation, to benefits for veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Why do budget negotiations seem to get so bitter each year?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The very broad answer is that Republican and Democratic leaders have very different ideas about what government is for and how much it should spend on public services. Republicans typically support military spending, and to some extent infrastructure spending, but consistently push to decrease spending on social services, known as entitlement programs, that Democrats generally support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, budget negotiations have been a tortuous process. Bitter disagreement between Democratic and Republican leaders is so common that yearly threats of a government shutdown -- if no budget is approved before the deadline -- have become routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the government \u003cem>did \u003c/em>briefly shut down in 2013 ---from Oct. 1 to Oct. 16 -- because an agreement couldn't be reached before the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What is the debt limit?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Running a nation (as it turns out) is really expensive! And the federal government's revenue stream, which it largely collects through payroll and income taxes, simply doesn't cover the vast amount it spends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, it's Congress that ultimately approves the annual budget and determines the federal taxes that will pay for it. The president is legally required to spend the money in the budget using the revenue from those taxes. But the budget is almost always higher than tax revenues. And so when the Treasury Department reaches that limit, the president asks Congress to increase the amount the government is allowed to borrow in order to pay off its expenses and, literally, keep the government running. This is called the debt limit, or the debt ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How long have we had a debt limit?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The debt limit was established in 1917 to address concerns over the nation's borrowing so it could pay for America's involvement in World War I. It was also intended to give the Treasury Department greater autonomy in deciding how that borrowed cash could be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In line with many other Western European and North American nations, indebtedness has been a constant throughout America's financial history. In fact, the only year in our entire existence that we've been in the black was 1835, during the extreme small-government reign of President Andrew Jackson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our process, though, is somewhat distinct -- and idiosyncratic -- in that Congress typically approves more spending than it has income to pay for, but doesn't \u003cem>also\u003c/em> automatically approve the necessary borrowing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weird, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debt ceiling has been raised more than 100 times since 1917, but until the mid-1970s it generally didn't spark much political controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1980s, though, federal spending rose significantly, and so did the debt. By 1981, Congress had passed a $1 trillion debt ceiling, (prompting a 16-hour filibuster by Wisconsin Democratic Sen. William Proxmire, an outspoken critic of government excess).
