    Not sure if this is out here already since the thread titles on this site rarely describe what threads are actually about, so fuck your 53 seconds.

    S.I. is your source?

    If high school football players want to graduate and ride buses in the minor leagues instead of relaxing in the Knight Center getting blow jobs from cheer team members they can be just like minor league baseball players.

    College football could end in my lifetime and be replaced by this model. It won't be paying players.

    Even in basketball which is all but dead most of the stars choose one and done over the development league or foreign leagues

    College sports are not so much for the 1% who are a future pro star but for the 99% that realize the value of an education that regular kids are going into lifetime debt for.

    The NBA was a better league when players stayed longer building a name instead of going to the end of the bench and being forgotten. They get paid so again, all this could end and we go straight minor leagues for every sport.

    I wouldn't like it but if that happens it happens. Its just not going to happen on campus

    Here here. This is a good to great poast.

    I'm not jumping into the amateurism discushun; I'm just wondering why these fuckers feel the need to open up a can a worms YEARS FUCKING LATER after the fact.

    Does it make them feel important again to remind everyone they were the caliber of athlete that got offered?

    Did someone at UW piss them off?

    What possible motive do you have for saying this shit out loud this many years later? My understanding of NCAA statute of limitations is that they're fucked up and that there is a broad exception to a default 4-year limit for "blatant" disregard of the rules. If that is enforced on its face, you can drive a truck through that.

    Good news for Washington. Emmert and the NCAA have much bigger fish to fry that some $100,000 offer allegation from 100 years ago. NOGAF. Nor should they.

    I'm less concerned about the NCAA and more annoyed at Robinson. What a dick move dood. Huge dick move.

    He's pissed Isaiah Thomas (he's named after Isiah Thomas you know.) got his #2 jersey retired and Nate didn't.
    He was at the Arizona gaga and seemed to be happy. I think he was just bullshitting on his podcast and threw in a metoo when talking about players getting benefits.

    This. I honestly doubt it’s even true.
