I’m sure that Oden’s dong…got a cut, right?
Better put some ointment on that Greg.

See, Garmy was right all along.

Caught whiff of this suit a year or so ago when OTL did something on it. Nothing says sour grapes like a guy in his 40′s that never panned out trying to hustle some money that he may be owed from ‘back in the day.’

Just end the misery of amateur athletics and put them down. The media (and the National Basketball Association) ruined them by encouraging them to chase the paper, that they deserve theirs, etc….Now we’re stuck a system of amateur collegiate athletics – from top to bottom – that is a complete and utter joke.

Can you imagine? It would be like having a website that makes money off of other people’s content, then selling it for low 7 figures. I’m sure that Oden’s dong, McNair’s real killer, and the actual producers of content got a cut, right?

It’ll be the shitty ones that rise. Think Auburn (Cammy Cam), Memphis and others with big boosters.

Oregon?

You mean Florida QB #15 from a few years back wasn’t really Timmy Tebow?

But he looks like him. Right down to the god-awful throwing motion.

Agreed with Plonsky. Like the military, student-athletes elect to abide by the rules. No one is coerced into joining an NCAA team.

Agree that poor people have very few options.

Alexander II of Russia would not stand for this bullshit.

Agreed with Plonsky. Like the military, student-athletes elect to abide by the rules. No one is coerced into joining an NCAA team.

Yeah there are both super shitty choices perceived as better than the shitty alternative and at the end the majority are left with shit all despite contributing so much.

The Olympic model provides a clear way forward and costs schools nothing. It alleviates an unnecessary enforcement burden. It does not detract from the product. It does not prevent a conflict with Title IX. Treat “student-athletes” as students. Provide them with a scholarship and a stipend to cover the true cost of attendance (a trifling percentage of the new television revenue). Don’t inhibit them from having representation or from legitimately capitalizing on their value outside the university.

I agree. I highly doubt duffy will own up to this, but hasn’t he changed his stance over the past year or so, and become much more realistic and openminded? I seem to remember he was staunchly in the Pay-The-Players camp before, and to hell with the consequences.
