I just went and looked at the box score for the 2014 SCar game.

Dobbs line:
24-30, 301 Yards
2 TDs

24 carries, 166 YDs
3 TDs

Lol....

Back to back sacks by Maggit and Barnett followed by long missed FG ended that game though.

If Dobbs had better coaching he would have put up unworldly stats through his career. He would have put up Lamar Jackson stats if he had been somewhere like Clemson with a better staff, away from Butch Jones.

Grant’s was more clutch. Clutcher? Zion did jump from the paint though. That was insane.

No doubt it was a great play by Zion.

Just crazy how everything he does is the best ever. He had a missed dunk make the highlights last week and the announcers said, “his misses are better than most peoples makes”.. like chill guys haha

That’s worth significantly less than what they’re worth.

Not even close to the truth.If you look across the entire landscape of college athletics, the student athletes are getting paid in education, tutoring, room and board.

After I graduated from medical school (which I paid for btw), I became an indentured servant for 4 years. I got paid way less than the hospital charged for my services. I was overworked, think 100 to 120 hours per week the first year. Dropped to a paltry 80 hours per week for the next 3 years. I was paid $29k per year. Divide that hourly to see just a fraction of minimum wage. I had to pay for room and board as well as my medical equipment and books.

Add to that the fact that Medicare paid the hospital over $100k annually for my education. They also got to bill for my services. In the 4 year period, between government payments and billing for my patient care, the hospital cleared in excess of $1 million. I was paid a little over $100 thousand.

Indentured servitude isn’t gone. It happens in almost every profession.

I do think that the student athletes deserve a monthly stipend. Is the current system perfect, absolutely not. What you are proposing is worse. Transfers have trouble graduating in 4 years...much less likely if they are playing sports.
