Are you saying that anyone receiving some form of compensation from someone else has entered into a partnership? That simply isn't true. You're confusing a partnership with a contract.

You asked what others received it...I gave you a few others that undeniably did.

I Agree. Shouldn't be any different in sports. Can't compete? Cut costs or get out of the business.. If the area values your presence seek subsidies.

The company that many of you work for, given employee perks, and are paid a salary does NOT insists that you share in their losses....if they do you're in a F' up situation....so why should a player share losses? A player is NOT in a partnership with the University.

Actors ,entertainers and entrepreneurs to begin with. I'm sure that there are many others

Ask them. I'm sure the reasons vary. Something is usually better than nothing but that doesn't make it fair. I'm not aware that there are any laws against throwing a party for any lawful reason. The value of something is not just determined by the giver. Acceptance of something is not...

No problem Duke. Its not the 1st time and I'm sure won't be our last. I'm just glad that we are ALWAYS able to disagree with civility and respect. Have a good one

Cmon D you get my point I'm a UM alum so I have no axe to grind BUT... Try paying those millions of Americans who are working multiple jobs and taking a class or two at a time with scholarships.....Duke you wouldn't make it out of the door!!...even if you had an armed escort. In fact, your...

Agree 100%. But that doesn't mean it's not out of whack, just like not paying players Also if scholarships are worth so much and so valuable. ....Try paying coaches and administrators or anyone on this board with scholarships and see how fast they tell you to GTFOH!! It's only of value if...

Some here are acting as if players are paid they will not get scholarships. As much as some may hate it, the players will still get scholarships because it is in the schools interest to still get the best teams possible. The thought of an overpaid coach suing the University for loss of income...

Anyone claiming that they would still go let alone pay for games if they were played by scrawny, uncoordinated, gimpy legged frat boys wearing bifocals as long as they were wearing our colors is completely full of chit. Those types of unathletic groups of students are out there NOW playing and...

YES....just like in the rest of real life. Some are worth or paid more than others. All the many other issues that arise are manageable and have market driven solutions....ALL of which are better than "NOT paying them for their own good." Imagine you or your son's boss telling you he's not...

Yes they would have to follow the same rules as other University employees. I see nothing wrong with that Anyone viewing getting paid as worse than the status quo of not being paid...is quite simply nuts. Much rather have problems with $$$ than problems without $$$. Good discussion. Take care

Yes I have. Am I mpressed? Meh. I've also been to company towns...so I know the getover mindset. I too could go to fine dining places, bowl etc etc around campus and could be around any group that I wished (Not just other athletes).....but most importantly earn extra $$$ to my heart's content...

Quite contrary, its obvious that they finally do. Bigtime football is awash with $$$. The players see EVERYONE else getting paid....except for the ones doing the actual work and playing on the field. Don't tell me about the NCAA chump change atheletic scholarships. I had academic...
