Issuing a call for Congress to involve itself in monitoring college sports, Democratic Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush said the NCAA “would make the mob look like choirboys.”

“I have this innate understanding of the NCAA, and I think it is one of the most vicious, most ruthless organizations that was created by mankind,” Rush said Tuesday during a roundtable discussion he organized.

Rush, a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, organized the event on Capitol Hill to examine the NCAA’s problems. Among the items on the agenda were recruiting, financial compensation for athletes and scholarship terms.
