Simmons has long been critical of the NCAA, calling college basketball a “dirty business” for what he feels is exploitation of the players.
Simmons, who is from Australia, played one season at LSU before leaving for the NBA Draft and becoming the No. 1 overall pick by Philly. He’s not alone in his feelings.
