re: BOOM! WSU's Response To Players That Support PAC-12 Player's Demands

There is not an 18 year old HS senior who would even make a practice squad

Yes there is

Extremely extremely rare, but there is

Stingley is a perfect example. 1st team consensus all American at Corner back at 18 years old. We would absolutely have made a team right out of high school

Not a chance, he wasn't even the best true freshman in the conference

Stingley, a Baton Rouge native, earned consensus All-America status in 2019 and was named second team All-America by Walter Camp a year ago. He was also named the SEC Newcomer of the Year and first team All-SEC.

I root for the jersey and whoever is wearing it. If the current player doesn't want the job there are plenty waiting in line. If I had gone to Harvard or Yale, I would have just as much fun watching those games as I do the Gators.

No , you're lying, even if you had gone to Harvard or Yale, you wouldn't give a shite about Ivy League CFB

You're likely from the South and if you were a Student up there you never would have attended an Ivy League Game under gray skies, you would've found a Sports Bar and watched SEC Games or National Games from Noon to Midnight

It's cute to auto-disagree with everything I post, but claiming that you would've enjoyed Ivy League FB as much as Gator FB is going too far

You can’t have it both ways.

You can get 50/50, which MLB, NBA, and NFL players don’t get...

But you don’t get , your tuition paid for, your books paid for, your room paid for, your food paid for, no open table, pay for your own Tudor, your own travel, your own work out clothes, and have it all taxed...

You can’t have everything you get AND 50/50 revenue.....

You want to get paid, you want to be an employee, fine!!!

When you fumble twice in a game, you can be fired!!

Hmm I wonder why?

Players = student-athletes

Coaches = employees

The labor force includes both, but the model has always paid one with. Salary and the other with scholarship and other perks.

That is the model. Players are no more exploited now than at any point. There is just much more money, so players are changing a narrative to attempt to get their Perceived share.

It isn't hard. CfB still exists and people still watch if the athlete on the field ends up being a little slower or capable than the ones we have now. I'd rather watch a young group of men who want to be there and fully appreciate the opportunity... without an added sense of entitlement. They are 18-22 men. Frame it as an internship if you want; they are receiving much more value than is fair to the average student working multiple jobs and incurring 60k+ debt just to get through school. Pay your dues now and get paid later.

It may even improve the quality of the game.

 can't believe you used the internship example -- P5 CFB isn't an internship

The 70 P5 Colleges combine to gross $5 Billion Dollars each year, that's big business, using the "internship example" is unfair

You have more than reading comprehension difficulty, you simply have difficulty. There are top 100 employers and fortune 500 companies using internship positions every damn day.

And its proven to help persons be better equipped to handle many jobs and be more productive in them.

Regardless of bullshite "titles" the players are clearly at the center of this entertainment enterprise where the 70 P5 college gross $5 billion yearly from FB

Calling them student Athletes doesn't PREVENT them from getting LARGER STIPENDS, the only thing that prevents that is outdated closed minded assholes

Once again with the bullshite comparisons, 85 scholly FB Players on SEC campuses generate $50 million in TV-Radio Money, not to mention all the other money they generate

Take any 85 undergrads and at any other P5 school and calculate what they generate revenue wise, paying tuition isn't generating Revenue for the school like TV-Radio Money so don't keep doing the stupid comparisons

Either it offends you or it doesn't... how about the N word? Ok if a black person says it but not ok otherwise? Ok in a rap video but not if a banjo is nearby?

Either it offends you, or it does not.
