Because if a college or university decides to enroll someone, they can. If they want to employ that person, they can.

And if they decide that they no longer want them employed as a basketball player, you can cease their employment. Just like you can the student who works at the library.  If they break a student code of some sort, they can decide that they should no longer be a student.


There is nothing to agree or disagree with. You are flat out wrong.
LOL. Dig In, Double Down.

Is this the part where we explain to you - again - what Twitter views means?

4-32 last 5? I don’t know what that even means. Last 5 games? He’s certainly not that.

Sorry. Check game 7 of Wolves/Nuggets. A game you claimed he was “absolutely awful” in. Even though he was the best player on a court that he was sharing with Anthony Edwards, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, among others.

If you actually watched the games

It’s not hard to know he meant 4/32 from 3

But the the board dumbass, gonna be the board dumbass.

Kind of like a new Joe Rogan on X

He's huge in some parts of Eastern Europe.  Kind of like David Hasselhoff is in Germany.

You can tell when I'm right when they ignore the topic and go off on me for a page.


Actually it's been repeatedly addressed. But people go off on you because you never learn - you are consistently, spectacularly and repeatedly wrong about so many things that you are absolutely convinced you are right about.  It's like a sport by now.

And like Uncle says, ultimately it doesn't matter.  Harvard is fine.

None of that changes the fact, Harvard will be just fine.  That’s the topic.

And on that score, I agreed.

You need to ask the circle the lighten their grip, cutting off too much blood to your head.

I know Sultan is fond of saying, "Harvard will be fine."
My concern is he is correct.
Elite schools should not be fine. They should be forced to change and embrace meritocracy, the concept that made them elite.

"none of this really addresses the point that colleges and universities can enroll who they wish and employ who they wish." Really? Please explain how my Affirmative Action example does not directly address your point.

To focus on the firefighter and police exams example is telling. I mentioned that last to point out that hiring policies are not an organizations' choice alone. What is occurring in college sports has been underpinned by arguments that these NCAA institutions should not be allowed to operate in a bubble with separate rules from the rest of the country. Hence my example.

We will not agree on this issue. That's fine.

Employers/schools may employ/enroll whomever they wish, provided they are not discriminating against candidates on the basis of a characteristic protected under law. If you want to be pedantic, you can consider these anti-discrimination laws a restriction on employers' ability to choose candidates they want, but I don't think that's much of an argument.

You could get the major league teams in every sport to pay their salaries as well effectively becoming the minor leagues.  Let’s just hope MU and the Big East will be triple A and not single A.   If they are single A, I personally wont have as much interest in “college basketball” any more.
I don't think we can view college teams as anything but minor league organizations.

We'd be foolish to think any school would turn down capital investments if the source is legitimate and non-controversial, but my hope would be that the schools remain unaffiliated with major league teams. Probably wishful thinking.
