They are employees, not student-athletes

Bye bye college football.

Absolutely right. It's going to turn into complete shit. This tired argument has been posted before and Race Bannon won the argument when he said that if you pay the football players you have to pay the women in women's sports and so on. These Northwestern fags are going to ruin college football. Get ready for the NFL farm league and watered down, shit college football. I won't be watching the shit.

Solution: Let the players earn whatever they want in side deals. It works for all sports, including the Title IX bullshit.

Student athletes, and their scholarships and related expenses, already hit ADs bottom line. Football and basketball players cost schools a lot. Plus, the "profit" from football and basketball are the cash cow for the so-called "minor"sports. I understand the idea that college football is such a huge industry that it will adjust its revenue and expenses accordingly, and everything will go on as usual. Higher ticket prices, greater use of luxury suites and naming rights, bigger tv contracts, etc. But if college athletes successfully market the idea that they are "labor" then I think you have to watch out for the impact of labor unions and political correctness into the process. Either way, however, it will be interesting.

If you are compensating them for their services and giving them a work schedule, they are labor.


Shall I explain why water is wet now?

what is the monetary value given a full scholarship football player?

Don't worry guys I'm going to email Chris Petersen that it's all right to pay players since Northwestern will do it.

Some people thought the proletariat revolution that created the Soviet Union was a good idea too. Change isn't bad, man. Northwestern can play for Vladimir Putin after the NCAA places them in exile. I wonder if these guys participated in the movement to raise the SeaTac minimum wage.

Christ! Talk about extremes .

The anti- slavery south in the 1860's were against change.

Two can play this fucktarded game.

Most of us fucktards would agree that any change that makes college football worse is not a change worth embracing. They are the gladiators and we are the spectators. They get paid with glory, not with gold.
