Kolek planning to go pro
The issue is that it’s about education. Student-athletes are being PROTECTED by the transfer rules. Sit a year to get acclimated, yet still be on scholarship. Great setup!
You want to be a pro, go to the G League and sell yourself for endorsement rights. Pretty simple.No one is stopping anyone from doing that. There are alternatives.
McDonald’s should be forced to offer lobster...it’s a restaurant and therefore they must conform and not be allowed to have their own rules, menu, approach.
Why should Isaiah Cannon or Ja Morant be responsible for Murray State's budget? Are you suggesting a European soccer transfer model for players?
Okay, until you feel like offering a real conversation and not an asinine "analogy" I'm done talking to you in this thread.
This. Isn't it interesting to hear people who otherwise argue for the free market say the opposite should be true for college athletes?
I don't have consequences for leaving a job I do not enjoy. Why should there be consequences for players making money for their schools? Again, dumb.
Maybe one day you will grow up and work at a job where your talents are valued, and they have you sign a noncompete.
I know right, its so funny to me. I pointed this out on the last go around. A stark republican like Cheeks and a stark Democrat like pakuni actually do a 180 on their views when it comes to this one scenario. It's crazy how that works.
So you want to treat NCAA athletes as employees who are working at a job?Cool. They can now form a union and bargain for things like better compensation, health benefits, hours, etc.I mean, Mark Emmert and the schools have fought that tooth and nail, but I'm with you on this one.
I think they should get paid, and should form a players association.
In before the lock.
If students need a year to get acclimated, we need to return to the days when freshmen couldn't play. Cause it's all about education.
Fine with me. Tremendous idea. You want to get paid, go pro. You want to get an education and also have a chance to go pro, go to college. Simple.
Could not disagree more. Title IX. Lost opportunities. Total destruction of the system that will have you no longer cheering for MU, except at intramural sand club sports.
Marquette will be fine, Me. Little. And why preserve a system that provides free college educations to primarily white upper- and middle-class kids (those in non revenue spprts) through the labor of primarily lower-class black kids (i.e. the football and men's basketball players)?
