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...
I’m not the one that brought up the salary cap. As I’ve said here before I don’t see how that hasn’t been struck down before either.
All of this mental gymnastics is just an exercise to divert...
Maybe, but the business owners are clearly 100% in cahoots with each other to keep an artificial cap on salary. Name one industry outside of sports that allows that.
The Richman lovers were dismissing the earlier loss to UND as “their Super Bowl” lol
But that’s never the case for us. All our wins are deserved. The losses have excuses.
The comparison to the NFL is inaccurate because they’re rightfully considered employees. They have a union, well-defined labor market, etc.
The NCAA has none of these things and thus a black...
NFL has spending caps on endorsements? That’s news to me. I thought players could make as much off their NIL as people wanted to pay them. Just like every other worker.
The problem with sports is...
Sure grandma, let’s get you back to bed
Only stupid people are the ones spending that much for a wildly overrated player
Players should be free to make as much money as people are willing to...
F all us fans
Great to see us gut out a win with our conference place already clinched. Excited for Saturday.
