Too many taxes.
Too many laws.
Cory needs to be federally primaried.....
Booker:”The men I played with..” Mm hmm.
It looks like the Left’s cultural revolution now wants to politicize and destroy college sports.
All these people would do is destroy the business plan of the NCAA and the top forty colleges. They’d do the same with NCAA basketball as well.
Why not just dump football out of colleges entirely...let the colleges be educational units only, and then design some baseball-like double-A and triple-A minor league for football?
Typical democrat math. There are approximately 110 FBS schools. Each school can have up to 85 scholarship players. At $173,000/each, that equals $161,755,000 per football player.
Now if he wants to deduct tuition, books, room & board, and medical care that would bring that number down sustainably.
I think that the NFL needs to contribute to pay these players, as NCAA football basically provides them a minor league system of talent.
More government results in far more problems
The only thing football taught Booker was to keep dropping the soap.
Down low clown...
college football died decades ago. it’s espn’s cash spewing whore, and the nfl’s free farm system — with the p5 conferences acting as the thug enforcers of the status quo. it’s not much different than your average drug cartel.
putting it under federal control is about the only way it could be made worse, but it’s such a slime pit now that it actually wouldn’t degrade it all that much.
The universities deserve this. Let them enjoy having their income cut drastically by their fellow leftists.
Everybody knows that nobody handles a group’s finances better than the broke federal government.
Free college for all
Setting aside the merits of this for a moment, is there even a fig leaf of constitutional authority for ANY of this proposal?
(Yes, I know that we live in a post-constitutional US)
More specifically, he should lose his job as lawmaker under that clause for rebelling against the federal government's constitutionally limited powers by pushing federal action based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers to win support from his low-information voters.
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same [emphasis added], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Booker and many misguided federal lawmakers like him actually should have gotten themselves elected to a state government, instead of the constitutionally limited power federal government, where he can experiment with his social engineering ideas using 10th Amendment-protected state powers as the early states had intended for those powers to be used.
Justice Brandeis had put it this way about the states being laboratories of democracy.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” —Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
