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?
 
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.

Unless you can produce picks and name names, pretty sure this is a lie.

 
Title IX is related to scholarships, not to athletic department employees. If football players are employees, then you can cut 85 women's scholarships. Peterman gets paid more than McLaughlin and Metcalf because his program brings in more money than theirs do, even though they are better at what they do than Peterman is at what he does. There is no rule that says all athletic department employees must be paid the same.

MLB did not die when Marvin Miller won free agency. NFL football did not die with free agency. If Athletic Departments can give AD's a bonus of one week's salary $18,000 if a wrestler wins a title, they have money to pay football players.

I cannot wait until the SEC bolts the NCAA and starts its own college football league and pays the players.

The Half Brains have been saying that for years ever since Mark Emmert became president of the NCAA.

Anyways how is Mark Emmert a bad president?

This is what I was getting at. We're *probably* going to get to a point where college football will have 1-2 conferences of all the teams that really give a shit about winning and compete for the best athletes without hiding behind all the under-the-table shit everyone accuses their rival's school of doing. This will make teams that have been throwing money at their mediocrity but still can't do shit like Michigan (and UW) as well as some of the older powers more relevant again and pit them against the Alabama's, etc, and the Boise and Fresno St's will go DIAFF.
 
Shut the fucking thing down and tell the NFL to start a minor league. Basketball players that want to go pro can start in the C League. All other sports can either generate enough ticket sales to survive or DIAFF. Tell 99% of the players who have no hope to ever play past college to fuck off and pay for their own god damn education if that's what they want to do. it's not as if colleges have to do this. They are schools. Just be schools.
