Many college football and basketball players cannot read at an 8th grade level. They don’t belong in college period.
How does he plan on attracting viewers...?
Or will this be like PBS?
The NFL, like Deep State, doesn’t hire fer brains.
‘I’m going to suggest that the father was derelict in his responsibilities as a parent if the kid had that kind of idiotic, narrow obsession on a stupid game.’
I’m going to suggest you suggest that to the kid’s father, rather than to us...I’m sure he’d appreciate the input...
Firstly, that most did not get into college is a good thing. They avoided the postmodernism brain-washing and went on to do honest work at an actual job — like from a trade school.
Secondly, letting an organization diddle with profit calcs will go the same way that selling your book to Hollywood for a movie deal. Your contract will award you %age of profits — which will be calculated to never exist.
Socialists all want the Feds to control everything, Ask any Cuban, Venezuelan, Russian or Chicom and, for that matter, Central American.
uh, NO
I watched a little of the Northwestern bowl game. The announcer mentioned how tough the NW players had it because they had to eat boxed lunches while they stayed in Florida.
About ten seconds later, he altered his statement by saying others had it worse. Maybe someone told him the statement needed to be clarified.
Yup, a free trip to Florida in December-January, staying at a hotel likely, getting free tuition at a prestigeous college while getting national TV exposure to play a game. But forced to eat boxed lunches
Very sad about the HS student, but of course not having a football season would be just the proverbial last straw on the camel’s back in such a situation.
Cory wants to take the revenue stream away from the Universities.
When you have billionaire and millionaire boosters pumping in large amounts of private money because of athletics, of course the athletic director will assume a lot of weight around campus.
No, he wants a lot of fragile emotional buffoons with no idea about economic repercussions to vote for him. This is just another way to expand his “ ignorant electorate market”.
I didn't even see this on TV. I was simply making an observation based on a comment posted here.
Fox News is aimed at an audience with an IQ of 90, so I guess a lot of people eat that sh!t up before they tune into whatever misfits are on morning network TV after that.
He can’t think of something more important to deal with? How about doing nothing?
More laws, more commissions, more giverment. Just stop.
quit sending people to the district of corruption. All they do is screw things up.
“Federally Controlled” sounds kinda like prison. Maybe these will be prisoners playing. That should expand the African-American talent pool.
Instead of Alabama-Notre Dame, we’ll have San Quentin-Leavenworth. Instead of what “class” they’re in, reporters can comment about how many years they’re in for. “The tight end, DeLa’Niq Jones, is in for 10-20 for armed robbery and drug dealing...”
It is great that systemic racism has not prevented black football and basketball athletes from reaching their full potential in college or in the NFL or NBA.
No kidding? Wow, never heard that before. Never had guys out of my high school go straight to the minor leagues. No sir.
Yet nearly half of all MLB players came out of college.
Aside from the fact that Booker’s plan would only reward scholarship players and not walk-ons (why?) there is this little nugget: “$115,600 to men’s basketball players, $19,050 to women’s basketball players”
How long do you think that would be allowed to stand?
Of course by the time this would be implemented, all of the women’s basketball players would be men, so I guess the point is moot.
Proof again that if you want to TOTALLY screw something up you gotta get the government involved.
