So...you are a socialist then? You don’t like the free market? You feel people shouldn’t be able to capitalize on their name and likeness or should be capped?

So, you want to turn control over the resolution to the federal government?
O.K., Caesar.

Forced revenues sharing? The transgender connect the dots coloring book spelling Bee won't need a sponsorship from crayola to get started now.

You got any better ideas to fix the corrupt NCAA?

Is the NCAA corrupt based on athlete lack of compensation? If it is corrupt, the last thing we should do is get Washington more involved than it already is. I'm sorry, I have more confidence in the collegiate governing body than to turn it over to another layer of bureaucracy. Title 9, anyone?

“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”

Exactly. The government does two things well....very well. 1) Kill people (we have the best military in the world), 2) Steal our money. They make everything else expensive, inefficient, and cumbersome.

Yeah, tell them to take a hike and form a separate governing body that serves the needs of everyone.

I’m from the government and I’m here to help you

Yuck! I saw the word agent in there way too many times.

Lol, you allegedly run a recruiting service with high school athletes, you take their money, make them sign a contract and peddle them to some D3 school. You are the very definition of an agent, yuck!

The government has no business in any sports at all in my opinion. I don't care if the NCAA is corrupt or not. If laws are broken, then by all means serve some indictments. Otherwise, they need to worry about China, section 230, protecting our Constitutional rights, and Hunter Binden's laptop. College sports, which many of these a holes have worked feverishly to shut down all year will not be less corrupt when government gets involved.

Yes, yes it is. Anytime you run a monopoly and have rules that restrict your ability off your name and likeness that is corruption.

Starting to sound like this thread should be moved to the Politics boards with the hot takes going on in here.

Dude at Oregon went 3-2, got a six year, 27 million dollar extension.... I reckon status quo is status quo for the near future, lol.

"Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn."

Spartacus and Old Stolen Valor.

I wouldn't worry too much about anything coming out of this brain trust.

Yeah I'd feel so much better if Rand Paul and Ted Cruz was part of it.

Tennessee fans: “WE SHOULD PAY BIG MONEY TO A COACH LIKE 7-8M PER YEAR”

Also Tennessee fans: “Ugh paying players ruins amateurism this is going to ruin college sports.”

Why shouldn't they get a share of the revenue they make for the university or be able to make money from sponsorships?

They already arein a free education and chance to play in nfl. Thats pretty good pay.

 

[LookinUp]

Oh boy, the government running college athletics... And we thought the NCAA was bad.. Yes, the death of college sports is at hand...

That happened this year when they brought 'social' issues into sports. The majority of fans quit sports.

 

[VolFanNC09]

So would congress then scrap title 9? How are schools going to fund other sports that don’t make money? I don’t see how something like this passes, but hopefully this is a warning to the NCAA to get their act together. I like the lifetime scholarship idea for instance.

Unfortunately, successful college football for UT fans ended about a decade ago.

Fixed your quote.

I suppose as long as they were to reimburse the University the scholarship, food, housing, etc. out of their shares, then it would be fair.

 

[BreatheUT]

They are trying to ruin it. They want to stick their hands in everything. They are smug POS.

Detail an alternative. I"ll hang up and listen.

If THAT is what you got outta my post... I really hope you're not a UT grad.

Good luck. Go see this guy, he’ll set ya up. You don’t even have to win anything, you can make millions and by all means, tell Mr. Sexton we said hello.

I was being facetious.
