Desantis has been pretty moderate in office honestly.
That's all I will say about it so it doesn't run this thread into the PF

Well it was widely reported in this thread that the only reason it happened out west was because the state is a communist hellhole of liberal ideology. I guess Florida fits that description now? Or maybe we're politicizing things that aren't political because we project a little bit too much?Desantis has been pretty moderate in office honestly.

Not quite the hell hole California is. Desantis has been a big disappointment. He's governed like a moderate democrat (if any still exist). I'm pretty sure Gillum would have been a lot worse.

The NCAA is a voluntary association. It has never been illegal to pay athletes. It just ruins eligibility under association rules.
If the applied pressure succeeds they can kiss non-revenue sports and the opportunities they provide goodbye.

It's a stupid decision.
Made by people that have no clue about the subject matter.
It will lead to unintended consequences and everyone will suffer.
That pretty much sums up liberal ideology

Im all for destroying the NCAA. They are the UN of college athletics.
Im also against govt thinking they need to fvkk it up even more.
Fla gov sounds like a turd cut from McCain cloth.

The only thing stupid is the fact that a law was passed to make something legal that was already legal. It's just against NCAA rules to get paid for endorsements. (others have posted the same comment as this but I guess it's not salacious enough to keep the thread going)
It could be said the same for all this LBGT, Womens Lib, etc. they already have same rights and protections under the law the same as every other citizen but we are going to pass laws to affirm the right they already have. Seems like a waste of time.

Looks like the lobbying money has found it's way to Ox.

Yes. Everyone does. The cost of a Duke education is, today, $276,676. That’s over $69k per year. Add to that the value of coaching, training, full medical care, tutoring, the stipends they do receive already, etc. etc.
There are 11 Duke players in the NFL today out of the hundreds who played there the last 15-20 years.
There are 22 on NBA rosters,some of whom stayed just a year at Duke.
How many thousands played in all their sports?
What is the value of a Duke degree? A Duke education? A Duke network of friends and alumni?

So our honored governor thinks he needs to get some face time in front of the cameras over paying college athletes, an issue he has no connection with whatsoever and one that has no upside for the state. A lot better use of his time than going after something really strange - like helmet laws for motorcycles.

no it shouldn’t be. You all make it political. It’s a position of whether you believe college athletes should be paid.
I think they should. It’s capitalism at its finest.

Haven’t made one political statement in this thread...
The idea isn’t political but it’s implementation certainly has been. That’s the point. It’s like renewable energy - the business case is easy to make. But liberals champion it as purely environmental (don’t want to seem like a capitalist) and conservatives don’t want to appear liberal (quietly, Texas is behind only California in renewable energy - they just don’t advertise it).
