Florida DB Jalen Tabor compares College Sports to a modern form of slavery

[The ADD]

College athletes be acting like they don't get a free ride, while others drown in student loans, fukk them.

People aren't forced into ardent loans anymore than athletes are forced into taking the scholarship.

This is one of the rare times I've seen someone admit the shyt is not going to be equal.

Oh, I've always been on the get over the equal pay argument, to me, that's the one thing the NCAA gets to hide behind that keeps them from having to pay athletes.

Waaa Waaa muthafukking Waaa.

More like a 4-year indentured service with the incentive of a degree and college jersey retirement, lifetime game tickets and a college degree, which they can utilize to their advantage. Room, meals and trips (and thots) are inclusive. Pick the right D1 school and you receive a bonus to participate in the REAL plantation lottery with grandma and your PAWG in hand as you sign your privacy and soul away to likes of Roger Goodell. Or be a degreed semi-pro baller who gets some of the perks and hangs with his NFL buddies like good ole Aaron Hernandez. Anything you do in college is intellectual property. Even shyt ass professors and the administration eats off the slave labor (research and internships) of nerdy medical engineering students?

Would these dumb ass nikkas get to these expensive schools otherwise? No, exactly, college athletes get paid, they get free rides to school. No pitty here.

That has what to do with my statement?


People with student loans don't deserve pity either in that case.

Arian Foster call it Indentured Servitude and that's exactly what it is.

 

[Captain Crunch]

It's not a cop out. People still running around like paying them is this revelation. We all get it.

How is the next logical topic.

Allow them to make money off their likeness, doing this wouldn't significantly fukk up the NCAA's money. Students from Alabama can sign and sell their autographs, do commercials for local and big time businesses. Sure if this took affect, mostly the superstars of collegiate sports make money, but at least it's a start. Also allow players to take money and gifts from boosters.

Hopefully, more college athletes from the past and present will come out saying this so they"re can be change.

Compare being college athletes to slaves brehs.


Slave never had a choice, College athletes have

 

[klutch2381]

Working out payment isn't that hard if people are actually realistic/honest about the situation. It's this BS hiding behind the need for parity in pay, across schools, across sports, across genders that keeps these athletes from being paid. the "but how would we work it out " argument is a cop out.

Exactly.

People only break out the, "But, what about Troy ," rhetoric when folks start talking about the players being adequately compensated.

Pay the damn players . It's going to happen, though. Soon than later, because the monies taken in is going to continue to increase exponentially (e.g., every years booster fees and what you're expected to donate to get season tickets goes up), and at some point the whole justification of "student-athletes" is going to be exposed for the bullshyt flimsy ass charade it is. College football teams used to play 11-12 games. Now they're up to 13, 14, 15 games. On this very board, I've seen people advocating for a 16 team playoff .

"Hey, Dalvin ...... ummmmmmm ... We need you to play 17 games this year ..... for free ."

We sent people to the moon in a damn metal ship in 1969! They could figure out a workable solution, if they wanted to.

 

[big bun]

How though? You have 127 FBS Football programs, 125 FCS football programs, 170 D2 football programs, and 199 D3 football programs. Like you said though, a solution would come forth. One thing that I thought would happen and may still happen is that the Power 5 conferences break off from the NCAA but

The higher resource conferences won't ever break off from the NCAA. That was just posturing by those leagues. Way too much work to have their own division, let alone break off completely. However, the posturing did work to a degree as they now have autonomy within the current Division I governance structure.

Slaves didnt volunteer to play a game for $0 that included a college eduaction, access to PAWGs, VIP lifestyle, and a chance to go on to make millions playing the game professionally. Most College football players already getting a free education with room and board and books included, 5 year degree, thats almost a 500k value including the tuition, room, food, books. paying them will only ruin the quality of NCAA football.
