yeah, I guess I lived a double life: not a single other jock in any of my classes and not a single engineering student on any team I played on. A double set of friends and between the two bunches I was still the only one who rode a Harley or had a rifle at school-—bunch of deadheads on both sides.
Is that even an actual major?
Most people I have known are Biology majors before going to medical school.
This sets the market price for a top-level college QB, and probably running backs and receivers as well. Since the SCOTUS decision and NCAA folding like a cheap suit, millions have flowed directly to players for using their images on video games, Twitter, Tik-Tok, etc. Now, money being offered to entice players to transfer is to be expected.
Players shouldn’t transfer willy-nilly. It’s not the NFL
LOL, to the beat of your own drum.
Yep, totally predictable.
It was a joke. Maybe he is pre-law. I call him a coward. OU recruits you and you play a half a season and promptly put in for a transfer.
Hmmm... I wonder if TaQuan Roberson, the ex Penn State QB, got for transferring to UConn? Or Cale Millen, too.
My bad. I thought you were calling him out for his joke.
NCAAF will turn into anarchy.
I don’t mind quitting the last sport I watch again.
Mostly ghetto retards that don’t belong in college anyway.
I had several jocks in a class that I took. I had to take a humanity elective and so I chose “Courtship and Marriage.” The jocks showed up at first and then their numbers diminished. A monkey could have made an “A” in that class. One of my classmates was future NFL quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver.
Texas and Texas A&M have big oil money, Washington has Microsoft money, Oregon has Phil Knight money, Stanford probably has big tech money, Oklahoma State has Hatheway Birkshire money. USC and UCLA supporters have big money.
All the really big programs now have access to money to pay for players. One Texas supporter has already come out saying he will pay every scholarship offensive lineman $50,000 per year.
Yeah, I am starting to sour after watching several bowl games and half the team was sitting out so that they could go to the National Felon League combine. Only a tenth of them will get offers.
Eastern Michigan: self-proclaimed LGBTQ+ Friendliest Campus in America!
In Atlanta, Morgan & Morgan, the nation’s largest personal injury law firm, has the massive UGA defensive lineman, Jordan Davis, on multiple billboards with the byline “Size Matters”
Such a good point. The universities will become pet vanity projects for $billionaires. See Bezos and the Washington Post.
Several college athletes have already inked multi-million dollar deals, including Alabama's QB Bryce Young. This is going to get out of control quickly. It may get tightened when some of these highly paid NILs turn out to be busts in college sports.
I took two classes via the net with Western Michigan...LONG time ago
It’s not corruption. A judge recently said it was legal to pay amateur athletes. So everything is fine.....
Can’t blame the players who have a chance to play in the NFL.
I doubt the coaches care about their NFL players sitting out bowl games, because the pressure to win is lowered AND the coaches can get a good at the players coming back.
I watched the first half of the two playoff games. They were too lopsided to make it worthwhile.
Most of the guys don’t care about learning, they just consider it the developmental league for the NFL.
