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

Even if they got all that shite, it still wouldn't be enough. They'll keep demanding more and more. This is a very slippery slope

---

That's human nature, especially here in America, HCs didn't stop when they broke the $1 Million dollar per year barrier, they kept going until HCs broke the $9 million dollar per year barrier, so why should the players be any different?

I'm willing to bet you never made a similar comment above except that you swapped out the players for the coaches, every complaint you have about the Players, the coaches & their Agents have done the same exact thing, but Fans like you have been eerily silent

My only question is when are we going to start paying High School football players as well? Especially some of the big High Schools have coaches that make pretty good money and the school makes money on the football team and uses that money to fund all of the other sports.

So what should high school football players be paid and when are you going to stump for this?

All you need to do is look at the enrollment at Alabama before Saban was hired and after Saban was hired.

They would be taking away sports for other kids, mostly girl sports without giving a single shite.

Can you explain why it is their JOB , their BURDEN to create opportunities for other kids to play sports in College?

These FB & MBB Players start playing their Sport at the ages of 6 to 8 years old and they work their asses off for the better part of A DECADE before they reach College and by the time they get to College they are so good and their Sport is so exciting, that TV Execs in the FREE MARKET are willing to pay BILLIONS each year to Televise their Sport, maybe those Athletes that are getting WELFARE and are getting SUBSIDIZED by these Athletes should work as hard as they did and then let THE FREE MARKET see how much money their Sport is worth on the College level

Now who's the SJW?

Now who's the Marxist?

You sure sound anti Capitalism?

You seem to hate WELFARE right up until it is time for majority white non Revenue Athletes in College to benefit from WELFARE

Didn't know you were a SJW looking out for the WELFARE ATHLETES in College and all, this is surprisingly a bad look for you BTW

Later, Mr SJW

This is the only thing you've ever said that has some merit and I'm with you, if a sport cant support itself then it probably shouldn't exist.

That said, the conferences have all the leverage here, it all depends on whether they decide to cave or not.

There will always be players.

Simple question...do you have a daughter?

If someone isn't born male and isn't good at FB or BB we should tell them to frick off they don't matter? Think about how profoundly stupid, in a very real and general sense that makes you sound. If you can be the prejudiced against 18 year old kids playing soccer what else are you capable of? You sound like 100% of the problem. We all know your real thoughts and who you think doesn't matter, and it's not a good look

Why do you continually throw this in everyone's face around here? Why are you such a racist?

Race is a central part of the player's demands:

quote:

---

Because NCAA sports exploit college athletes physically, economically and academically, and also disproportionately harm Black college athletes, #WeAreUnited.
In rejecting the NCAA’s claim that #BlackLivesMatter while also systematically exploiting Black athletes nationwide, #WeAreUnited.

---

quote:

---

Because unjust rules prevent the 98% of college football and basketball players who won’t go pro from capitalizing economically on what would otherwise be the most valuable years of our lives, including many Black players from low-income homes, #WeAreUnited.

---

Not sure how anyone could consider their college years to be the "most valuable years of their lives."

quote:

---

Form a permanent civic-engagement task force made up of our leaders, experts of our choice, and university and conference administrators to address outstanding issues such as racial injustice in college sports and in society.

---

quote:

---

In partnership with the Pac-12, 2% of conference revenue would be directed by players to support financial aid for low-income Black students, community initiatives, and development programs for college athletes on each campus.

---

quote:

---

Form annual Pac-12 Black College Athlete Summit with guaranteed representation of at least three athletes of our choice from every school.

Simple question...do you have a daughter

---

She is already out of college with a degree in computer engineering

My nephew runs cross country on a partial scholly and was recruited out of HS

He attends a smaller college where FB doesn't generate $100million plus each yr

But still, I would never want another child or person to be treated unfairly to give an advantage or benefit to my child that they didn't EARN

At the HS Level everything is fair and subsidized by the Govt & Taxpayers, after that your sport should be paid for by your ability in the free market to generate Money, and since that doesn't happen in College, the guys that are carrying the entire Financial burden deserve more than a full scholly, they deserve a larger Stipend on top of their scholly

Simple question , how do you define fairness?

Do you do everything in your Power to be as fair as possible, or do you do whatever you can get away with?

What's wrong with the NCAA and the Conferences trying to find a more perfect system, like our US Constitution asks us to?

quote:

---

Hard to claim the purity of Amateurism when a small group has the burden to subsidize everyone else

It isnt like football players work any harder than other athletes.

They just happen to play a more popular sport.

quote:

---

Another better written article specified that they wanted 50% of the sports Revenues that were distributed from the Pac12, that isn't the same as %50% of ALL REVENUES" which is the quote being thrown around here

The 50% of a Sports Revenues distributed from the Pac12 only includes TV-Radio Money and not 50% of ALL REVENUES

I guess I'll have to find the article and make you look stupid

---

So you're going to find another article, which was not quoted, to make the poster look stupid?
Someone is going to look stupid alright.
