    Pac 12 Players Asking for 50% of revenue to play this year

    Those tutors are there to keep them eligible. Period. The jock majors, most of which have little actual value are there to keep them eligible. Again, if it was truly about education, some of these kids wouldn't be admitted. These kids can see how little education is valued by most of these...

    Oh well. Maybe this is a sign that institutions of higher learning shouldn't be running semi-pro sports, sports that are corrupt to the core. We are the only country on planet earth that does it this way. Let the pro leagues run their developmental leagues, let them be responsible. Maybe we...

    Ever wonder how the rest of the world manages to have high quality athletics, without prostituting their institutions of higher education? They make the PRO LEAGUES do it. They make the PRO LEAGUES develop their own talent. Soccer franchises the world over have academies, where they find...

    And? What's your point? There are also places in the world where it's still legal to own another human being, doesn't make it morally right. Just because we have it better than other places(Those people are getting **** on too), doesn't mean it can't be even better, doesn't mean we can't do...

    If you really think that STATE FLAGSHIP institutions are so incredibly mismanaged that the elimination of athletics programs would lead to their demise, then you are sorely mistaken. Then again, we are talking about schools like Alabama and LSU, hardly forward thinking institutions. This is...

    It doesn't play the role you think it does. Yes, you may get increased applications based on additional marketing muscle, but the schools worth a **** aren't diploma mills. They are still selective, and schools that sacrifice quality for quantity eventually end up paying the price.

    And? Why is it that capitalism is perfectly fine for Coaches, ADs, staff and everyone else associated with the athletic department, but the actual talent is supposed to be happy with a pre fixed arrangement? Amazing how many bootlickers we have on this board, and in society at large. I wouldn't...

    You really think that these top end guys wouldn't be doing something else? By the way, the "They get a scholarship" argument is garbage because of the fact that the educations they receive are sketchy at best. Most of these schools have NO intention of truly educating these kids. If they did...
