Again, you're telling me what's happening at my school.

Just admit it, you're mad that someone else deserves something more than you because that's what it sounds like at this point. Just because you're in some STEM program, doesn't mean the world should bend over for you. You honestly sound like all the stuck up CaCs and shyt in all class preaching I'm an engineer, I'm the shyt and you're under me.
I'm not in undergrad son. But I know how the shyt works. So yes, I'm telling you what goes on like 95% of the time. And even if she is being paid, which can happen, its not as a result of school money.

You just dismiss that an 18 year can't go pro in football because they physically aren't ready, but that's your solution, get over yourself you don't know everything.

Then suck it up, and prepare to go pro

And my going pro argument was focused on the basketball crowd...and even on football, its been discussed letting younger kids go pro...not necessarily 18, but at least 19 or 20.

Stay in your lane and demand some accountability from these amateurs.

Pay your dues, and you'll be rewarded :ufdup:

But he completely agrees that the coaches should get paid millions to do less than what the athletes that's the kicker.

:snoop:

My man you're missing the point. You're a fan of Tariq so let me help you. You're falling for that oke doke.

Just as the beef with slavery isn't revenge, the beef now is WHERE THE fukk IS THE MONEY that was earned from the sweat of our ancestors????!!!!!!!!
:snoop:

This has fukk-all to do with your ancestors.

I got a scholarship. Do I deserve to be paid for my hours of study?

No.

Deal with it.

It's always about the MONEY!
Too bad. Football is popular. Thats just how it goes. If you wanna be paid, go get drafted :camby:

These coaches and staff are building generational wealth from the sweat of these athletes in exchange for a scholarship. GTFOH....give me what I earned...This America.
And SOME athletes get to do that by GOING PRO or GETTING AN EDUCATION

You go to school for an education so you can enter a field and make money. Start out at 40k, but these athletes are generating money, millions, from day one.
So?

Unless they're pro, then who cares?

We all know the real answer is, sports such as college football should be removed from colleges and made a minor league. Where the athletes are paid. The schools won't do this because they will lose millions of slave dollars.
Theres already a baseball minor league and an NBA one. and soccer ones

Now you want basketball players to be paid on top of that too? :heh:

They're earning millions of dollars from the sweat of athletes who they KNOW...will not use that degree to become successful.
Too. God. Damn. Bad.

A degree isn't a guarantee of success, but its a pretty strong indicator of being capable of reaching some additional goals, so if you chose to squander that, tough fukkign break.

I've never heard more athletes complain than those in basketball or football. Even the baseball ones tend to do alright. I never hear a word from the swimmers, track and field players, or any of the other ones who go unnamed but work JUST as hard.

I have friends and associates who played D1-D3 sports and a great many of them TOOK that free education and did very well for themselves afterwards.

So basically, they are getting million while the athlete who has no interest in corporate endeavors ends up with donut.
I could not care less about the implications of this sentence.

That's fukkery...and students such as yourself...through jealousy condone this.
I'm not jealous.

I just don't see why an amateur athlete wants more recognition than the chance to develop and refine his/her skills FOR FREE

Whats funny is that you talk shyt about the degree aspect, as if giving them money changes the fact that so many of them squander their education.

Fine.

Dont give these athletes scholarships.

Give them an option:

A. You get a scholarship and the chance to earn a degree, but you don't get paid

B. You don't get a scholarship and lose the chance to get a degree, but you get paid and a certificate saying you completed a university sports program.

Thats it.

That's fair. Athletes should take option B all day at schools where they're generating millions.

So say an athlete chooses B and leaves school with 4 million dollars. That guy has achieved the American dream! He's earned more than 90% of college grads will earn in their life.

He can now take that money and start a business........or blow it. His perogative, but he reaped what he earned. He can take 100k and go to a good school after if he isn't going pro.

Even if he leaves with 400-500k, he still has the beginnings of some wealth and can make some moves.

Yeah.

And?

You're talking about a handful of coaches too...just like a handful of CEOs in comparison to all companies in the world

Again:

(since you clowns don't fukking pay attention)

Coaches get paid:

1. For TALENT RENTENTION
2. As figure heads of major institutions (sports franchises)
3. Performance outcomes

If you're a coach at a small school and fail to do any of that, then thats on you

you don't deserve money for your scholarship because you aren't generating shyt, how hard is that to understand?
The athletes aren't generating shyt either.

They're competing in sports in which SOME of them get drafted or recruited to compete in professional leagues or national teams.

Understand that?



You all are way too emotional about this shyt. They even had Jalen Rose out here crying cause his mama couldn't pay her bills but he's on TV playing basketball on one of the best teams ever.

fukk outta here.

OK. I hope you know not all schools make these "millions" you're talking about.

Then what?

90% of the team "finishes" the program with what? A few thousand to their name?

So say an athlete chooses B and leaves school with 4 million dollars.
This would NEVER happen you fukking idiot :dead:

That guy has achieved the American dream! He's earned more than 90% of college grads will earn in their life.
Get out of here with this fantasy bullshyt :pachaha:

He can now take that money and start a business........or blow it. His perogative, but he reaped what he earned. He can take 100k and go to a good school after if he isn't going pro.
No student athlete is making more than what a starter contract makes :mjlol:
Even if he leaves with 400-500k, he still has the beginnings of some wealth and can make some moves.
You dudes are just playing with monopoly money right now :pachaha:

I don't advocate wasting a degree because you wanted to play sports year round.

But hey, the world needs interdisciplinary studies majors :mjlol:

I don't care if they make the school $50.

They're getting paid to go to school and have no financial obligations...and to ask them to be paid is absurd on account of a few sports that make the school money.

In fact, they only reason they have scholarships is because of the cycle of money brought in, in the first fukkin' place.

IF you wanna set your family straight, go to class instead of majoring in bullshyt.

I know tons of D1 athletes who didn't blow that shyt.
I disagree with you and think you have been brainwashed on this one not all student athletes should get paid but the basketball and football stars should they are generating insane amounts of money.
