Fuck that noise and fuck the kids.ntxduck said:
Clearly aren’t paying enough. I’m pro-giving money to poor kids sacrificing their brains and long term health for our entertainment. If you’re not, fuck youMikeDamone said:
Did I say anything about Hopkins? Go fuck yourself.ntxduck said:If you think Hopkins isn’t paying guys you’re fucking stupid. College basketball is the Wild West, and yes, no one cares. Kansas, Kentucky and duke are the 3 most blatant violators. If the NCAA started caring they’d torpedo their own product.
If you think nike isn’t paying Oregon football players you’re fucking stupid. No way a top recruit goes to play for a mediocre unproven coach with getting paid. Idiot.
If they werent getting a football scholarship they'd be in jail. -
Yeah, I bet paying players $5000 each per year (or whatever a school like WSU could sustainably afford) would stop a kid from taking $100K for a year of hoops! Let's pay the players and solve everything!
There is no way to pay the players their market value without widening the haves/have-nots gulf even further than it already is. You'd have to create a pay scale that EVERY school can afford, which just wouldn't be all that much. It wouldn't stop players from wanting/taking more than that "base salary." Ntxduck, you're conflating two separate problems that should both be addressed. -
No, I’m saying I’m cool with any school paying players under the table. I understand the impossibilities of a legal pay to play (esp cuz of title 9). If UW wants to start blatantly handing out 50k coffee cups to kids I’d be cool with that too. Always have been.1to392831weretaken said:Yeah, I bet paying players $5000 each per year (or whatever a school like WSU could sustainably afford) would stop a kid from taking $100K for a year of hoops!

Fair enough. It's a defensible position.ntxduck said:

I wouldn’t be shocked if 50% or more programs are doing it. And the ones that don’t do it, aren’t winning. Even a coach like Petersen who I think is completely against it, is susceptible to having a few boosters do this stuff without his knowledge. College atheletics is a dirty system, and with all the money flowing, the NCAA does not want to fuck with the gravy train. -

You would have SJW’s all over the fucking place shift their view from free college and absolving student loans to demanding the Women’s golf team get paid as much as Bama’s DE’s (Shoutout DDY!!). -
People who shout "pay the players!" til their faces go red have no fucking foresight. It's not hard to see two steps ahead when any remaining semblance of parity in the sport crumbles. Good luck paying for all those softball scholarships and the other 99.9% of student athletes with no marketable value when all but 20 of the football programs in the country become insolvent due to no longer fielding a competitive product.1to392831weretaken said:Yeah, I bet paying players $5000 each per year (or whatever a school like WSU could sustainably afford) would stop a kid from taking $100K for a year of hoops!

Quooks still getting triggered with moneybag references? JFC...
Lack of self awareness WTFs all around.
Own your baggage already. Life is much better.
Self Awareness Cliff Notes:
-Petersen's OKG mantra limits recruiting potential and UW success.
-Oregon pays players with the Swoosh to come to Eugene.
Capiche?
