You wanna talk about race as if Football and Basketball are the only sports.

let me know when this applies to golf, swimming, or lacrosse.

You all are REMARKABLY selective in what you choose to defend here.

:comeon:Have you even been to a 4 year university?

Um, dude, that's pretty much what I meant when I said Oliver could stay what he wants because it's HBO. The fact there are no commercials is implied BECAUSE ITS HBO, moron.

The rest of your argument is retarded and not based on anything.

You haven't named me anybody who generates the amount of money and publicity for universities and yet are forced to live in poverty in order to be eligible to make a living LATER ON.

When you do that, I'll take you seriously
Who says they live in poverty?

I think they should pay student athletes, and I always didn't agree with this but they raised some good points.

The problem is if you pay student -athletes you have to pay EVERY student athlete not just Football and basketball players or whatever sport thats the cash cow. More importantly Teachers and Professors need a raise in salary, some of them make pennies.

This is why i'm against the "go to college" shyt.

Let these dudes go pro when eligible.

Hell, this shyt is why the US Soccer team sucks so much ass on the world stage. You're competing against dudes who went pro at SIXTEEN but holding these dudes in college until they're 19/20/21.

College is a tool and should never be seen as more than that.

if you wanna use it to get a degree, do that.

if you wanna use it to go pro, do that.

But don't you EVER get the two mixed up. No one owes you a job because you didn't get drafted.
College is great buffer for professional development. Plus Football is NOT a sport where you can go straight to the pro's from high school, Thats why you rarely see.

They're getting paid with a free education, they provide their services in exchange for the chance to attend elite schools and use elite facilities for free. Plenty of 18-23 year olds across the country are busting their asses trying to put themselves through schools and these entitled punks want to get paid? FOu 7hH
Education should be free my nikka

Hey, it's basically free in Germany.

How bout States stop funding their prison industrial complex and put that money towards further subsidizing education for their in-state students.

They should make it similar to a work study program where they can recieve some kind of salary

But paying student hundreds of thousands of dollars just won't work bc they are still technically students

Plus that's what the pros are for
