Let's pay college athletes



Let's take away his whole season because he got scared and didn't tell the whole truth about a dinner that wasn't even an NCAA violation. 


Because racism.

I went on a rant about the NCAA the other day to my wife. She thought I was gonna have a hat atak.

They are akin to the NAACP to me. They exist, just to continue existing. Their logic is never sound and they choose to wrong situations to throw everything they have at.

They will bust a smaller school's athletes but overlook T-town menswear!

They are not about preserving the rights of the athletes, they are about making money and staying in charge. It is time for the big conferences to create their own organization.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Conferences branching out will probably be more capitalistic than the NCAA.  You really think these conference commissioners care about the integrity of their academics?  These guys have been negotiating and plotting for more revenue since the early 90s.  Give them complete control and you'll see college football turn into minor league football which will ruin the sport forever.

I hate the NCAA as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure a new league will help.

Hello...



Invalid comparison.  The One didn't do anything at all.  And he played all year.

Except the NCAA doesn't write for Time.

Where was this cover story in 2010 with Cam striking the Heisman pose on the cover?

Instead, we were inundated with what a thug POS he and his entire family is for the idea that he might have possibly taken money.

The SEC actually has more stringent rules than the NCAA. And of course they will want to make money. But they apply their rules evenly and without bias. The NCAA picks and chooses.
