OK ... I'll gladly amend again to the 1990s or 2000s or even 2010s if that better meets your criteria.

The point is the same: Athletes getting compensated for use of their NIL was years overdue.

Yes, on the second point. The first is moot.

Thankfully, athletes finally are getting a small slice of the cake they bake ... though I know you prefer that the coaches, ADs and others get to snarf down every bite.

Just like the all the tenured professors who get huge grants, while the grad student does all the work, book deals (text books students must buy for a particular course), and speaking fees.

Is O-Max choosing to retain his amateur status?

Sorry wasn't trying to start an argument just trying to keep the point honest and not full of hyperbole so it didn't get lost on someone stuck in an age when twister was black and white.

Those grad students could have gone out and marketed themselves and their products if they had an outlet to do so ... and they wouldn't have lost their eligibility to remain grad students.

So it isn't like the ridiculous example you presented at all.

It would be nice if they made some classic MU game jerseys available, too.

Right now, the only one you can get on the website with a player's name on the back is Wade. I'd probably buy a Sam Worthen or Glenn Rivers if either was available, and I'd think lots of folks here might be interested if the likes of Chones, Lucas, Lee, Ellis, Diener, Howard, Matthews, Gardner, etc, were available.

I was thinking the same thing.  Remember, though, that the jerseys didn't have the players' names on the back until the early '80s.  So the Chones, Lucas, Lee, Ellis, etc. jerseys would have their numbers but not names.

I'd like a 22 jersey but can I put "Coach Killer" in the name plate?

Excellent point.

I'd still like a classic Rivers jersey.

grown men wear basketball jerseys, especially those with the names of 18 year old kids on them?

Wearing my Lazar jersey from freshman year right now. First time since I was boxing that it fits comfortably again

Yes, they do.  You can wear yours over your sweater vest if you're too old.
