More importantly, so?
Whose fault is that?
No moron, the concept is amateur vs professional. Getting a scholarship does not make them professional. In any case they all get the same scholarship. Allowing them to charge whatever they can get for their services would make them professionals. Nobody, not even the idiots in Kali, have proposed how that would be good for college footballSo, the education completely represents the value of the service, that’s the concept right?
Ok, then why are you all so worried about all the $ that will flow to players if they have already max’d Out the value? Because, the value does not match for the elite players, is the obvious answer.
There are plenty of good arguments against these laws (that relate almost exclusively to competitive balance and avoiding straight abusive practices), but so many hard righters on here battling for AOC level socialism (everyone gets the same thing and no special treatment for those who are of superior skill because we have already collectively decided that is enough for them to get) is amusing. Is it amateurism or do they already get enough value (pick a lane).
“Adults vs kids”, Cali-hate, “stupid” references, etc. you guys are being more amusing than usual in this thread.
Annoying by predicting a big win?
As for the podcast, I'm only getting a couple of hundred plays, which honestly isn't worth my time to do them. The people have spoken - they aren't interested.
It won't end the game. It is in the best interest of all to keep it alive and attached to the college.
Most of the football players don't graduate.
This is a blatant lie, in fact it's not even close to being correct...... but let's not let facts get in the way of a narrative. Amirite?
College athletes graduate at record high rates
If a player can accept money for his services then he will go to the highest bidder. How do you not see a problem with this?I guess I don't see the issue. We aren't asking the colleges to pay. It would be agents or third party sponsors.
I suspect this won't be big money for most players.

I don't understand ebonics.Which makes him different that anybody else in the country how? The disdain for the free market is palpable.
Besides, it isn't the university doing well he paying.

You apparently don't understand the difference between amateur and professional.
But please tell me, how is it good for college football for players to go to the highest bidder?
I get strawman whiplash with you sometimes.It may or may not be best for college football. Probably not. That isn't the issue here.
Freeing the slaves wasn't good for the Southern agriculture industry.
