Oso planning to go pro
It won’t ruin college sports either. College sports lust and greed is insatiable from the bottom to the top
Athletes support this....I'm sure the 1%ers will. Now, interview the athletes after their programs are dropped and their opportunities gone because of the consequences.....ahh, but who gives a crap about them....right Pakuni.
Student athletes don’t get paid so there’s no need for a salary cap. Every school can only offer 13 scholarships. Boom problem solved.
Exactly. The idea the NCAA paid millions of dollars to lobbyists to make sure student athletes don’t get paid is hilariously bad.
It will significantly hurt a number of programs and change the landscape forever if it is done.
About 200, probably more, schools have no business being in Division 1 college basketball yet here we are. Plenty of schools in lower levels fighting to get there. The idea they are all going to now give up because of a new transfer rule or a potential NLI is preposterous
The landscape changes all the time. Welcome to America
My God, how you devalue our degree is incredible.Uhm, sunshine, many of the upper echelon teams don't even use all 13 scholarships. Also part of the recruiting process will now be to slot in an existing player on another team instead of taking that fringe 3 / 4 star kid for one that has already proven capable. As one graduates so there will be plenty of room for the top teams to scoop up who they want.Let's not forget losing one key player at a school like MU, Dayton, Seton Hall, Arizona State, etc, etc is all it takes in hoops to deal a huge blow to a program.
Do you support an equal distribution of NCAA athletics revenues among all the member institutions so as to assure that students at small and medium size programs receive the same resources as those at major programs and to protect their opportunities?I mean, since you care so very much about these athletes - especially the women and minorities - surely you must see the injustice in SEC and Big 10 schools receiving in the neighborhood of $45 million a year via their conference affiliation, while programs like North Texas and Tulane must operate on a fraction of that.Let's make this happen. Are you with me?
Dayton was ranked like 180th a few years ago, today they are 5th. Who are you to judge where that line is....by your definition only the top 150 schools should make it. Who said they are ALL going to give up? It is preposterous because no one said it except you that all would. I certainly didn't.
Let's not forget losing one key player at a school like MU, Dayton, Seton Hall, Arizona State, etc, etc is all it takes in hoops to deal a huge blow to a program.
All of this happens already...I can’t imagine what would happen to a program like Marquette if they hypothetically lost two players like the Hauser’s. Can you sunshine?
What you want to do is take away that opportunity entirely from Prairie View A&M and maybe 50 to another 100 schools....or listen to Rico or Mike or others...the hell with 200 of them...just purge them.
So tell me how the student athlete at Prairie View is getting screwed vs the one at Michigan?
It's true. Marquette basketball would have folded had Markus transferred last spring.The great irony is that Marquette lost its second- and third-leading scorers to transfer after last season and today is humming along just fine ... and yet Chicos wants us all to believe that a losing a single key player would be a death knell to programs like Marquette.
Nope. Never said this. Because I don't think this will happen. The "programs will disappear" is a Chicken Little narrative you and you alone are pushing to defend the system.You are a crazy person if you believe being an athlete at Michigan is the same as being an athlete at Prairie View.
No it doesn't. The Hausers were an addition by subtraction, by the way. It absolutely doesn't happen already because kids have to sit out. You know how many kids could transfer that don't because they have to sit out and ultimately are glad they did? A ton of them. Because they are immature, can't handle adversity and want to run to the next thing at the first sign of not getting their way. All free agency does is allow that behavior of kicking the can down the road to never grow up and handle adversity...no wonder you love it.
But wait - You just said last post what a huge blow losing one key player could cause to a program. MU lost two. Why didn’t we crumble like you predicted?
Since it got lost earlier in this thread, Dana O’Neill of The Athletic tweeted Jay Wright isn’t leaving Villanova for the Knicks and she’s pretty plugged into Villanova. On a side note, she’s also writing a book about the history of the Big East
Not all players are equal....or are you going to make that argument that a body is a body is a body? If MU lost Markus last year, but kept the Hausers....MU would be a poorer team this year.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Since I went to bed last night, Cheeks posted in this topic 15 times.
What happened to WhoaJoe? Did I miss that? Did Cheeks get tired of switching between accounts or did WhoaJoe just say everything he needed to say in 861 posts in 34 days and has now disappeared back into the ether?
