No you're a moron for making any sort of distinguishment between making money off your likeness and getting paid. They are one in the same.


No they are not. Plenty of people are suggesting the University somehow pay these players...

quote:

If you pay players the colleges lose amateur status and have to pay taxes on their education,food, housing, etc


quote:

Probably "deserve" to get paid in spite of the very likely threat of destroying the thing that PAYS them is a WHOLE other thing.


quote:

It would have to be done right from school to school/cost of living/amount of work and time dedicated to the sport.


I'm talking about an Olympic model where the school is only responsible for their scholarship. Nothing more. If any player is able to make money off of their name, they should be allowed to. The above quotes are a VERY different system. I'm not a moron because you can't distinguish between the two.

Your premise is just so stupid, I can't even argue it. It's like asking me to explain why Hitler was a bad person. If you don't just "get it" I don't even know where to start.

You don't have any strong arguments against it. That's why you don't know where to start

Answer this, should this kid have lost eligibility?

Bauman aspires to inspire through his music, mainly hip-hop and rap. His most recent song video, “Ones in the Sky,” which has a positive message and urges people to pursue their dreams, has drawn more than 47,000 hits on YouTube. It can also be downloaded for 99 cents on iTunes.

That is a problem for the N.C.A.A. Because Bauman performed under his own name and identified himself as a Minnesota wrestler, the N.C.A.A. ruled him ineligible for the remainder of the season.

OP just because your face probably looks like you have smallpox, doesn't mean that Manziel should turn down the cover of Time magazine.

The problem is selective enforcement - what is it you dont get about this.

There are about 4 guys at the least guilty. They only go after 1. The other they promote for Heisman.

This is the problem. It can't hold up. They back door deals, the selling of player shite.

JFF is putting an end to it with balls the size of coconuts. This is why it is all changing. The guy you hate had the stones to stand up to the system. So player athletes will be able to at least make something while making billions for the business.

Every campus will have at least 1 statue of JFF in a few years.

Unless they pay star players at least 200K, there will still be cheating.

No it wouldn't. Greed has destroy the game. Paying the employees is just compensation for the value they provide.

Any time a decision is made its beamed to our life by the mothership. We get our talking points and march on.

The only reason I am a worse version is because my Cajun blood has ruined my ability to care about authority, spelling, or sobriety.
