Scholarship table
Mike,I’m not suggesting that another lackluster performance gets Wojo fired - I agree that for reasons beyond my comprehension he is very safe/secure at MU.
Well I've been told the universities have million of dollars they are keeping from the athletes. What's the truth?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
And add into that the 14-day quarantine that the team is in right now. Can’t be good for gelling.Very good point. I’m someone who needs Wojo to finally show something special, but I can see how the administration might again accept mediocrity.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
You do remember that the Tourney was canceled in March? Conference tourneys too.That is hundreds of millions in revenue gone that is hurting everyone's athletic budget.
I get it. My problem is the perception that all the D1 schools are swimming in money.
They are swimming in money. They make millions off of athletes, pay them in scholarships (and other ancillary benefits), and use the millions they make off of athletes to subsidize other parts of the university that don't make money (SOCIALISM!).Those arguing that athletes should be paid aren't saying that universities have a Scrooge McDuck style swimming pool filled with money that they are hoarding for a profit. They are saying that the university should redirect some of the millions they make off of athletes away from building new buildings, propping up English departments, and paying coaches tens of millions (in some cases), to paying their quasi-employees.I say this as someone who thinks the current compensation package that student-athletes receive is more than fair for 99% of student-athletes and doesn't think it should change. (NIL is another matter)
Yes, the Tourney was the reason they were swimming in money.
But it’s only Wojo’s 7th year! Give him some time! Our “trajectory” is awesome!
I’ve celebrated Wojo’s successes (mostly recruiting - Henry, Markus, the Hausers, Dawson G, etc.) and criticized what I think are his failings (in game coaching, totally green lighting his stars, end of season collapses, etc.). I’ve almost thrown in the towel on many occasions but I’ve clung to the hope that I might be wrong, that maybe he could get it done. I’m still clinging, but this year I need to see something.
Fair enough. Not sure there are any coaches making $10MM but regardless, if the argument is moving funds away from or eliminating non-revenue sports (mostly women's sports) I can follow the logic. My issue has been the argument that there is so much money that the basketball and football players have no access to.
I hate that the media thinks that Kentucky and Alabama are the same as NJIT and SDSU.
No one and especially the media, doesn't think this in the way you are implying.
This board can get very strange.
What?
I hope this isn't your first inkling....
Woj has ok Halloween decorations outside his crib. Not great, just ok, hey?
Ok? Do dentists have an inferiority complex? Hey?
