Recruiting Football Talk VII

Maybe I misread your posts, but it felt to me like you and EV were taking offense to it. My bad if I’m wrong.

But either way, I still think you are both taking it too seriously.

For the record, I’ve been to Louisiana multiple times, and I don’t remember ever thinking anyone smelled like a corn dog. Nevertheless, I thought the post that spawned the corn dog meme for LSU fans was hilarious.

I just think picking at the ones that to me are the best people around up here is dumb...with all of the pathetic "I am a bleeding blue Kentucky fan in Basketball, but I am Bama fan in football" bandwagon trash, and bluegrass region fratboy trash, and lazy good for nothing, meth head, Check Day scumbag trash up here...there is soooo much better material than the best people in this state.

In the SEC, sure. But not every school is loaded. I doubt Utah or Minnesota’s AD can support them all the way big brands can.

Kavanaugh made a point of the $$$ coming in. IOW, they are making it about market. When it comes to salary, Title IV will probably need to be refined to allow a healthy SALARY market.

This is not about forcing colleges to pay (all) athletes. It's about demolishing the prohibition to ALLOW pay, and negotiate for market value.

If there's not a market to hire athletes in some some sports, or the market doesn't support large salaries, I'm not sure there will be an issue.

And since player salaries don't exist in the age of title IV, does it expressly include salaries?

Skeptical about Oklahoma. I think Mizzou will probably be better than Auburn and A&M. I think Kentucky and Florida will be better than South Carolina.

Oklahoma lost a ton off of the o line. Not sure what they received in the portal. But it was a major talking point for OU this offseason.

Again, either way AD’s are affected by boosters splitting their donations between NIL and AD when it used to all go to the AD.

I don't see how that's a Title IV problem. May just be too late to the conversation and/or just slow on the uptake.

Not sure ai follow the logic, unless the argument is the school paying the players directly through collective bargaining.

Some of the most successful benefactors in the NIL space are women athletes (ie: LSU gymnast team, etc).

That's because of a bunch of perverts getting off on looking at pics of Olivia Dunne and a couple of the others..lol.

I get where you’re coming from, McGill.

I'm not a Kentuckian...I despise the University of Kentucky...and yes there are a vast amount of pure BubbaGumpish type idiots in their fanbase, along with a tone of pure smartass jackasses like Matt Jones..

That being said...I don't understand why people working in coal mines is a joke...it is one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs there is, and the men that do it are some of the hardest working and brave people anywhere, and the men that have one of the relative few mining jobs that are left actually make a pretty good living..so what is funny?

I respect them...rant over.

My father, grandfather, two great -grandfathers, uncles, cousins, etc. were all coal miners. I didn't work in a deep mine like they did, but I worked in a strip mine while going to college. My father was killed in a mining accident. If people make fun of coal miners, I take it personally. They need to find another childish, immature way of entertaining their like-minded friends. If it weren't for miners, we would all be sitting in the dark, freezing our backsides off.

Those donations help support non revenue sports. When those donations are less than normal, cuts have to be made.

I think you give them too much credit…. They are one worst run professional leagues….. They were weak and failed miserably against the players union. They were, however, willing to shut down a great pennant race in 1994 to try to save a little bit of money. Surely, they could have done the same for the “integrity” of the game. They lost a lot of fans that year and there is rampant speculation that MLB allowed steriods to be encouraged to bring back fans to the game… At the very least they highlighted the steroid use to increase ratings and popularity.

The party was over when congress got involved and the drug testing helped MLB try to save face. They were able to claim that the evil players union wouldn’t allow testing. MLB knew exactly want was going on during that time.

The Players Union is equally culpable, if not more culpable, regarding the 1994 strike.

In general, bears are not condescending, but there is one species that can be very condescending.

What species, you may ask?


Pan-duh!

In an alternate reality, baseball is still massively popular, the Expos still exist with a World Series under their belt, and Sonia Sotomayor was never made a Supreme Court justice


All because the 94 strike never happened.

I’ve never got a like from Neyland Rising before. I consider myself a reasonable poster and I want to know why I haven’t. @Neyland Rising, “If you prick us do we not bleed”?

Maybe you could post a gi.....

A bear walks in a bar and says 'I'll have a..............beer.'

Bartender says, 'ok, but why the big paws?'

KD may end up being a god or a total fluke, but you can’t tell me there’s not going to be some kind of a drop the year following Saban.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Sure would be.

Baseball needs to add HGH back into the training regimin.

What’s Title 4?
