same dude

ehh

dude seems like hes gonna be huge success, i respect his grind

at the same time, theres not really any debating that dudes could just set up some bullshyt 'business' and like they said, boosters could just pump money into it. so if we're taking the ncaa at current face value, theres really no argument there. thats not saying theyre right. in this case theyre obviously wrong

 

[h2o_proof]

There's too much power in athletes, particularly black athletes not accepting scholarships. If more blue chip athletes paid their own way AND went to HBCU's all hell would break loose. Problem is a lot of us aren't taught to enterprise legally at a young age, hell most high schools don't teach you Economics until the last semester of 12th grade!

You wont hear it from me. Anthony is a principled and smart republican. You know, the way they used to make 'em --- intellectually ambitious and enterprising, before it became dominated by the party of stupid.

You wont catch anthony saying incredibly ignorant things about his own people, our socio-economic system, or the commander-in-chief. Anthony is pro-black, and doesnt use his conservative bonafides as an excuse to express white supremacist views and bankrupted concepts and ideas. I disagree with Anthony, fundamentally, on many issues but I respect the hell out of him. Hes basically the opposite of you.

Care to link me to anything that ive said incredibly ignorant things about my own people, our socio-economic system, or the commander-in-chief?

I get what your saying but I disagree with this as being a valid argument as to why this can't happen... Whats stopping some booster now from pumping money to a relative of an athlete to funnel to the athlete? And what about a walk on player who isnt on an athletic scholarship initially but suddenly blew up there junior and rejected a scholarship to play the next year... couldnt they theoretically setup a business, especially if they theoretically had one before they blew? how the hell can the NCAA police that?

yea all i meant pretty much, is that i can see how the NCAA can justify weaseling their way out of it

ncaa is at this point, somethings gotta change. i never gave a fukk about college sports anyway so i give less than a fukk about the plight of these dudes. pro>>>>>>college

nikka I dont follow college sports, I thought there was another nikka named greg anthony, just like there was another nikka named isiah thomas

I think that if a big named high school recruit has the grades for an academic scholarship, they should just take that rather than the athletic scholarship and create a business like Greg Anthony tried to do to profit off there likeness

The NCAA would just find a way to shut that down or criminalize that student like they did Anthony.

I remember years ago when Anthony and Stephen A. Smith (and Tim Legler and the Canadian Black dude) did the ESPN postgame shows, and Stephen A. Smith (as he is apt to do) started with his c00ning and began calling a bunch of NBA players ignorant, I remember Jermaine O'Neal being one of them, and Greg went off. Greg Anthony was thisclose to putting the hands on Stephen A. for that shyt.

That look wasn't for Isaiah Thomas, just funny how you thought there was two Greg Anthonys.
