Edit: Never mind, looked it up.

Edit again: I did a quick search to see if I could find anything related to the corruption/cheating that is being described here and I can find no evidence of this being so rampant. I may be searching the wrong terms. I did an internet search and a search among academic sources.

Amateur Athletic Union.

Lucie saw it had "union" in the title and assumed they must be corrupt.



Seriously, the only problem I've ever heard about the AAU is the same problem with most non- or not-for-profits: they make a lot of profit. Tens of millions from entry fees, tournament sponsorships, tournament fees, etc. And some people grumble because they pay $100 or $200 to register their kid for softball, then hear the guy running it makes $1 million in salary, plus perks.

That's why I find it funny when people who want less oversight complain about groups like the AAU, saying they have no oversight.

Anyway, back to all those kids taking hormones so they can rack up $700 worth of girls soccer scholarships or $1,200 for women's basketball.
