As an ND fan, you’re welcome. We’re trying to bring them down from the inside. Can’t imagine Buchner being successful there. Rees I an average OC as well. Hope you kill them this year.

Makes zero sense. Nick Saban is already getting paid by Alabama and then Aflec also decides to hire him. Should that be banned?

So you will quit watching football because during a commercial break you might see Mac Jones in an Aflac commercial instead of Nick Saban? Seems reasonable.

You’re describing the NCAA (the nonprofit that made over one billion dollars last year). Seems to me the government is deregulating the corrupt NCAA and allowing adult Americans to make money from any business that is willing to pay them. Sure, the government will get a cut of the profits in...

I’m not Einstein but if you end with $0.00, you didn’t make a profit. Any business owners out there that can confirm my math? This is not my specialty.

I guess we prefer giving kids cash under the table?

Pretty sure they are all one year scholarships (that typically get renewed). I know there was a push for true 4 year scholarships but don’t think that ever happened. Some schools I believe do offer multi year ones.

Seems like the government is actually pushing for capitalism and doing away with “socialism”. You know, the part where players all make the same (scholarship) and aren’t allowed to earn anything on top of that. Judging by your stance in your post, you should be for this. Imagine your job tries...

Players won’t be employees and won’t get paid from the Universities. They will just be free to make money on their own, through such things as endorsements. Personally, I’m for freedom and capitalism. God bless America.

Won the high school Butkus award for nation’s best linebacker.

They actually can’t. That’s the damn point.

IMO, allowing athletes to make endorsement money hasn’t diminished the Olympics. If anything it has made it better. Guys like Michael Phelps, Carl Lewis and Usain Bolt would not have stuck around for multiple Olympics if they had to live broke. People act like college football is some pure...

Just curious what that reason is?

If they’re already getting paid then aren’t they already professional? You can’t keep talking about everything they get with a huge monetary value and the pretend they’re amateurs. Doesn’t really matter, the courts said it’s fine and the NCAA agrees so get ready to see players in the occasional...

Some good points in there. I wonder what coach’s contracts say regarding outside endorsements. Is Alabama mentioned in the one million Aflac commercials that have aired with Nick Saban? Seems like most pro athletes don’t mention their team or leagues they play for. Think it would be the same for...
