I was right

Why are football and basketball even attached to the universities any more? Who are we kidding? The world laughs at us. And I laugh at their laughing.

I predict the kids won't have to play school anymore within five years. They'll just be football players.

I honestly actually forget they still do. At least I think? It's always been farcical but I can't even imagine how bad it is now to have a guy getting paydays like they are now and having to go to some anthropology class or some shit. It's kind of ridiculous we are still doing that for any kid, non-paid athletes, but that's a different story.

It really feels like they aren’t students at all anymore. It seems like it used to be a pain in the ass academically in getting transfers in. I can’t remember the last time I heard about a Vernon Adams who can’t math or a guy being unable to transfer because the school doesn’t have a PE program.

Andrew "Tosh's Coffee Cup" Basham was the last guy I remember even at UW not getting in and that was a long time ago. I remember there were rumblings that the ASU DL transfer BJ Green wasn't going to be able to get in because of bullshit academis last year.

BJ Green didn’t qualify. Had nothing to do with DeBoer leaving. Credits didn’t transfer and he ended up at Colorado.

Didn’t read.

Didn’t know that. Really could’ve used him this year.

I hate everything in this thread

There is a discussion on the tug but the politics are immaterial. What matters is that I was right. Called this before day 1

You had me going for a second with “discussion” and “Tug.”

If, in fact it is going the way of not playing school (and it is), I need to begin finding things to do with my time on “Crisp, fall Saturdays”…
“We offer you a college education worth $350,000 (5 years tuition, books, R & B, out-of-state, per UW site), and our graduates are well-suited for higher paying careers upon completion”.
“Nah, gimme the Hellcat”…
