College Football Is Socialism!

Well?

Well?

Nah. The NCAA wants it to be socialistic, but it isn't.

Well?

Man you start some dumb threads.

Well?

Way too many smaller schools (and - in the case of the Big 12 - power 5 schools that aren't in as big brands or in as big media markets) don't get as much money as the larger schools for it to be socialism.

Wrong.
Capitalism at its finest.
The rich get richer....
Everyone else is irrelevant.

The University of Tennessee is a public institution. Sure, the AD derives revenue from ticket sales and broadcast contracts, but that does not change the fact that it is a state institution, supported by tax dollars.

What the ever loving crap is your point?

It sounds like you’re talking about public universities in general instead of college football

For the record, I disagree. It’s hard for me to view it as socialism when people still pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition to attend these public colleges

Are you trying to demonstrate you really don't have a clue what "socialism" actually is?

Trying?

 

[Godfatha]

I would say more oligarchy. There’s nothing socialistic about the current NCAA.

Does Volnation have any type of an award for the best thread ever?

We have people screaming "socialism!" at every tax funded program they do not like. I have seen people declaring that a public library is "communism!" I am just trying to put things into perspective. I mean that people recklessly pick and choose how they use that word, declaring that anything supported with tax dollars is socialism and therefore bad, unAmerican, etc. You get my drift?

This thread gets better every time the OP posts.
