So?
If he wants any of that, he should go pro.
The school gave him all of that shyt as a result of a free education. He can take advantage by playing well enough to be drafted.
Absolutely. Coaches bring students who aren't quality players into their own by their junior or senior years. That development is free to the student.Folks is mad that he killed off all those ncaa games and shyt.
OK, since you cleared it up I will too.
So you have no problem with colleges wasting academic resources (money, room, faculty space, etc.) on coaches, but have a large problem using said resources on student athletes?
They're apart of the university and help the profile of the campus in exchange for helping some kids go pro. I see no problem with it
Theres nothing hypocritical about it. You just don't understand the nature of the interaction taking place as a result of some selectively edited clip about someone who fukked up their refund check.
Coaches get paid market value dummy.If you want to treat the student athletes as amateurs, the coaches should be amateurs too and paid (or not) as such
Theres nothing "republican" (of which i'm not) about wanting AMATEURS to prove their worth enough to go pro.
And miss me with this preferential treatment to bigger sports.
Professors do it off dumbass kids who take ridiculous classes, but no one bats an eye.The entitlement....
but if you saw someone else making money off you, you would be cool with it right?
These are people who enroll in UNIVERSITIES first and foremost. I don't care how much the school makes...these "athletes" are a mere entertainment draw.
Thats it.
Lets not confuse what sports are to you all.
As members of the franchise, they get all of the training and development necessary to eventually go pro if they so choose.
If not, they won't. Its simple. Take advantage of that degree as an insurance policy against your future should your goal not work out and be grateful for the experience.
I've already laid out my plan for reform ad nauseam.
Its just like a republican they always argue to compensate people that are not in a position of power to very little or no at all while they want the powerful to remain wealthy even when they do very little.
Or you just don't like the argument that I don't think these students truly do enough to be paid for their efforts.
Playing college sports is tough. But theres a reason they're called COLLEGE sports.
Reform the scholarship program to allow for work-study level employment. The restrictions on this is a result of proven abuse that has been shown to take place. I have no problem with the ban, but until a plan can be introduced that reduces corruption and allows equity in such opportunities, then so be it.
Full scholarships include all of the traditional room and board.
Did he have a full scholarship? And why did he not take out additional loans? Like every other STUDENT?
So is it a matter of him not working or not having time? Cause now you're not making any sense.
Because the basal resources across all schools vary.
I'm ok with standardizing the refund schedule of full academic scholarships, but until thats done, equality seems to be the best policy to me.
too messy.
So earn your stripes and stop trying to be a boss at the amateur level.
You wanna roll in the dough? Go pro.
Because these are amateurs.
You keep saying I'm not addressing you, but i'm breaking down each line of everything everyone says in here.
Keep up.
So go pro if you care about money so much.this aint india @Napoleon people aint hip to working for pennies on the dollar u punjab fakkit
College is for development, with respect to sports.
Detroit Wave
Veteran
then the colleges should drop all the endorsements if its about development
Colleges exist to make money.
The players are merely members of the university, as is everyone else.
There is amateur competition for a reason. There is professional competition for a reason.
And sports aren't the only thing that make money for universities. So until you stop with this selective slobbering over sports, just because you love them so much, then you won't understand the spirit of what amateur development should encompass.
You're not going to change my mind by bringing up some stories of a poor kid who's struggling. His shot was to play big sports at a big school. Thats it. All this hand-holding is just more emotional nonsense to muddy the waters that decisions have to be made.
Getting paid doesn't give them more hours in a day. Unless we pay all students who get scholarships...but wait...we do! They get everything covered!

dude, its unfair no matter how u slice it. i had a whole long ass reply but its a waste of time. u cant just make millions off of a group of people and set up rules where they get suspended or lose their scholarships just for trying to make a few pennies off of their own work. if you going to exploit these kids for millions and not give them a piece of the pie, u an a$$hole piece of shyt. fukk, at least let them make their own damn little pies off the leftover dough. fukk the "integrity of amateur sports" bullshyt. its just greed.
