Let's be honest here, I wouldn't be doing that if I wasn't getting shite for having a differing opinion and I never noticed you deleted anything I said.
You penalize me for responding, but not the other guy for taking a shot at me.
Look, all I'm saying is if the shots at me would stop, I definitely would be far less defensive.

The frick they don't.
That scholarship and benefits are worth more per year than most college graduates will make for years after they get their degree.

Yeah, the hours they put in and the amount of money generated from what they do completely shuts down your theory.

If all the bleeding hearts end up destroying college athletics with this overly emotional, ill-thought out plea to quit "exploiting" these poor kids, it's going to be sadly funny when none of them have a chance at a college degree.
If the system changes, I want the universities to go to the mattresses against the players. Charge them for access to the nutrition, weight training, coaching, medical attention and exposure that the colleges provide. And then I hope the IRS taxes their pay. Be careful what you wish for.

Anyone bitching about Barnett transferring is a moron. It's business
I guess CNS is a moron ? Yeah, look youre batting zero in this thread, and to make matters worse youre calling the folks that actually do have a clue "morons ?"
Yeah I'd pump the brakes on that.
Best of luck.

Do it.
Players would still come out in the positive because the universities would still have to negotiate packages for their workers (insurance, nutrition, living, etc) like every other business in America. It would be a competitive market just like any other market or business in our market driven country.
If the university provides less or gives a weaker pavkage and offer, it will become obsolete because there will always be others willing to be conpetitive in this billion dollar market.
BTW, what has any player done ro you to bring so much anger and resentment?

The problem with your pov is that the NFL doesn't charge players that they pay, so why should universities?

Harmonics is embarrassed ?
Alright fun time is over everybody... Back to work !
Yep, pick this place up, what do you think this is a frat house ? Yeah, get these half naked bitches out of here, and get rid of all these kegs.
Total disgrace.
Sorry, Harmonics. We will get our shite together. We've all been studying really hard for Kentucky week, and just wanted to party/have a little fun last night.
We didn't know you were going to be stopping by today.
We will get it cleaned up ASAP. Sorry.

"I think there's a certain pride people have in competition.
There's certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through. I think if I would have come home and told my dad that I was going to quit the team, I think he would have kicked me out of the house. I don't think I'd have a place to stay."
He continued.
"My dad used to always say, 'The grass is always greener on top of the septic tank.'
So it always looks better someplace else. So you think, instead of facing your fears and really overcoming adversity and making yourself better through the competition, you go someplace else thinking it will be better there.
But until you face your fears, you're always going to have some of those issues or problems."
Call it whatever you want, but CNS made his opinion on the situation crystal clear. Quitters gonna quit.

Someone asked him what his opinion is on quitting, and he gave it.
Far cry from actively "bitching" about something.

I think the problem is, and we saw this yesterday with the media is when you give your honest opinion to folks these days, and youre not worried about hurting anyones feelings rather just telling it like it is it gets labeled as "bitching."
I agree with you. I dont think CNS is bitching. I think he is telling it how it is. I think he made it very clear what he thinks about guys that quit on their teams.

Well, GMac and the broadcast crew just spent the last 5 minutes of the UK game dragging Barnett for "quitting" and expecting to transfer somewhere where he thinks he can walk in and take the starting job from a current QB 5 games into next season.
"It's not like he's Tom Brady or something."

Yeah, they shared the sentiment many of us did; you don't quit on your team four games into the season. You h5et no respect for that and it follows you.
Anyways we will all see how this plays out. One thing I know for sure is he better grow a pair or he'll be watching another freshman take his spot and force him to run away tail between his legs.
