The end of college sports video games?

Yes, as a child she can earn money in acting and various talent jobs like that.  They are out here in So. Cal. quite a bit with the movie, television, modeling industry.

You didn't really answer the question, but certainly got your insults in.

When is it ok for institutions, companies, etc, to make money off various performances (athletic or otherwise) and when isn't?  Seems you are saying bad for college football or college sports, but high school is ok?  Plays are ok?  I'm just curious why you made the cutoff where you did.

Seems a fair question.  I know a company right now that is trying to sell to television providers the idea of carrying high school sports on television in a big  big way.  Should the players be compensated?

If and when that happens, perhaps they should. It will depend on the details of course. But that is the answer to the central question, that you know damn well I provided, despite your attempts to suggest that I didn't. EA sports, CBS, ESPN, Fox, apparel mfgs., etc. are paying very large sums of money to the NCAA for various rights. member schools take in millions of dollars in ticket sales, yet plays significant restrictions upon the players everyone is paying to watch. That's the difference. When the same applies to other things like your daughters Cristmas concert, then it can be discussed.

Really? If that's your defense of the NCAA you might just want to say you agree with me, because its just as dumb as what JB said. Dumber, actually. Is your daughter allowed to earn money? Is anyone paying your daughter's school large sums of money for the right to produce a video game or broadcast the Christmas Concert? If you daughter changes schools, does she have to sit out the Christmas concert at her new school next year?

Typical unprincipled thought.

Is your issue that you believe college sports to be too successful? Doing so well that they simply must share their success? Hate capitalism? For some twisted minds, success equals greed. Sad.

If you were principled you'd also be calling for Little League concessions to give players a cut (perhaps via a trust fund contribution) for popcorn sales during games.

You don't appear to really stand for anything other than attacking college sports. It's selective outrage and the desire to punish achievement (without any thought to the consequences).

No wonder you visit Scoop. You must hate college sports and/or HS recruiting sites with advertisements. Clearly they should be flipping the kids some payola.

Probably your worst post ever.

wait... on second thought, that is pretty hard to quantify.

Disagree, thought his post was pretty good.  Maybe my post will be changed by the G.I.T.M.

Win for NCAA. Conversation has completely changed from what Hausfeld set out for. The case was based on outlandish nonsense and the court saw this.

Now the ambulance chasers will try to make money by saying in the future kids should be paid. The court also notes - as many of us clearly see - that paying kids would likely cause a lot of schools to 'downgrade' and essentially hose up the system for everyone for what may be very little money.

It's sad. Waste of time and money. NCAA has plenty of things they can be focusing on rather than the defense of total b.s. claims and arguments. But, the plaintiffs will proceed on because the attorneys want $.
