This is false. If you’re going to use a label try harder to understand what it means. The US has been less and less capitalistic for generations. You’re blaming the consequences of creeping socialism on the system it’s seeking to replace. It’s wrong.

You’re just wrong. You’re applying the label ‘capitalism’ to describe corrupt crony socialism. It’s government control that gives you the corruption. That’s not private behavior that’s central power. You think there isn’t even worse in commie countries? All the things you complain about...

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley would would compete more faily for analysts if they had salary caps on employees.

I think you misunderstand what's tail and what's dog. There are two reasons the NFL can have a hard cap that don't apply to other leagues or situations. The NFL can have a 'hard cap' because of socialized revenues and non-guaranteed contracts. Without socialized revenues, you can't cap costs...

You are assuming your conclusion. Do you have any basis to claim that the amount some SEC school pays their coordinator has anything to do with whether some other school has success? You don't, is the truth. You're blaming a symptom for the disease. Secondly, your bigger assumption is...

Why does this make no sense? The COO of a giant bank makes more than the CEO of a smaller bank. There's a reason. The brutal thing about success and failure is that some succeed, and others fail.

if so, good. it should be a political issue.

of students don’t want that they’ll vote with their feet. i still do t understand why people are even talking about staff spending when that’s not the cause of the issues in cfb today.

also, limiting staff support would just chase the resources out to consultancy firms. it’s the same as with trying to limit political spending. the money gets spent, just outside the regs. when there's money to be made, there’s money to be spent. in cfb, you’d see private firms take over...

The institution that should most want to limit administrative spending is alabama. it would make them that much more profitable, and not cost them competitively.

people here seem to want cfb to go back to the dark ages. why not ban videotape while were at it? let’s go back to the idyllic utopia that never existed. all this because (a) saban and (b) UM self-immolated. @PalyCane, can you answer the question of what the competitive issue is that you...

if you think about it, unlimited roster sizes would be a form of tax. the tax would be paid by other men’s sports at institutions that gave more FB scholarships (because Title IX), and the beneficiaries would be other institutions in those other sports, who would win more titles in those other...

the effect of limiting rosters and ICs is to put a premium on evaluations and retaining experienced players. Both of those things benefit Alabama relative to Um.

I can live with the roster and recruiting rules we have but i do not think they help us at all. all the pro regulate types can’t wrap their mind around the idea that the effect of regulations isn’t always (or even often) what the subjective intent of the people who passed the regulation had...

You keep trying the weak argument that any regulation at all means all regulations are somehow both justified and effective. You know better than that. But to your point, yes, I would support getting rid of roster limits and all the things you note. I am confident that dynamic equilibrium...

I didn’t take exception to it, in part because it seems so weird it’s hard to take seriously. I specifically commented on the spending topic, and the overall legality. I have no idea why you’d want to limit the support resources a school provides to student athletes, not how you could in...

Should a landlord agree not to evict a delinquent tenant, in order to have an ‘even contest’? Your grade school recess game was not commercial activity, not work, and was consensual. What you’re really trying to defend is you picking everyone’s teams for them, telling them what shoes they...

That’s unlike you as a response. It’s befitting of the simpler folks here. You know I didn’t make the claims you are trying to put into my mouth, and you also know that your logical approach is weak. The existence of some regulations isn’t a rationale for massively more regulations, here or...

If only we had more regulation, we’d have more competition. If only the government regulated speech, we’d have free elections.

You do not sound smart. Maybe you get your information from CNN. Your quote: ‘Right now college football is like capitalism. The rich leverage their richness to get richer, make it harder for anyone to reach their level and to not have to abide by the same rules everyone else has to (they...
