Laugh, cry, discuss…

Could the middle managers exist without the players? Why does one get paid and the other doesn’t? Tough argument to say you have hundreds of thousands of dollars for the program, but when it comes to...

Tell that to the schools who pay professors mediocre wages yet spend tens of millions annually on making their campuses look like country clubs. Higher education has become a joke because...

At a minimum all NIL money should get clawed back if transferring while still an undergrad. They’re leaving for more NIL money, so not like they can’t afford to make our boosters whole again.

Also...

That our stud future hall of famer WBB player just left.

After all this talk about her getting paid while at NDSU and less than a week after her claiming how excited she was to come back.

To be fair, these kids are far from the first to sell out for money. Not even the first in the college athletics industry

So what kind of claw-back policies do we have in place? Given today’s announcement?

Hope Gully got his money back

Very well said. Articulates my thoughts better than I could.

More or less I agree. It’s not perfect but in my opinion it’s more perfect than the current situation and the pre-NIL setup.

I think something that a lot of people forget is that schools see a ton...

Why not look at it from a program by program basis? It’s no different when considering facilities, coaches salaries, support personnel, etc.

Your point about it being unsustainable is correct....

I think I’ve said in every post that it’s a mess. However I have been pointing out his hypocrisy in that he had no problem with it when it was controlled and made to benefit the top schools only. Now...

Yes, if 50,000+ people are showing up 12 times a year paying $100+ each to watch the band perform, they should get paid too.

Making the argument that athletes shouldn’t be paid because it would...

As we’ve all said many times, yes the free agency needs to be addressed. The current setup does not work.

The schools can still pay the players.

No, I listened. No one likes the complete free agency that’s currently going on. Nothing he said was really that profound.

You can still develop young men and women for life while paying them for...

Yeah, but it is what he did. I’ll let you figure out what’s more important.

I genuinely would be curious to hear what the athletes have to say about it. I mean you get to hear from everyone who’s not an athlete about how they think it’s the end of the living world. As if...

Why all the extra steps just to not have the schools pay the kids? NIL is what it is (de facto black market for buying players) because the schools will do anything to avoid paying the athletes. They...

Two solutions to this could be 1) Take anti-competitive, monopolistic and anti-capitalist privileges away from over-subsidized public athletic departments, or 2) continue exploiting 18-24 year old...

Free markets unless I say so!!!

Awesome job by the ladies. LFG!!!

Well yeah but unfortunately just by saying the word “union” they cause 40% of the US to lose their minds.

I mean it kinda went out the window when schools started recruiting kids that had no business going to the school academically in the first place. It’s been a de facto minor/developmental league ever...

Sounds like the industry passed him by - good ol’ capitalism. You’re either at the cutting edge or you’re not. There were a lot of other non-southern coaches complaining how the SEC did business...

Please point out where in any US or state law that when someone is a student they are no longer able to be an employee. It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive, the only reason it’s ever been framed...
