Now they skip a game at the end, because they are so precious? Whatever happened to dance with who brung ya? It should be a requirement that if you are on a team, you play the games the team plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the future my friend. College sports "Pro potentials" were never students to begin with....for the most part. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how things change over time. There's a lot more that the average fan doesn't even know about. It's now become a "Sports Law/Business" complete w/a Master's program @ ASU in Phoenix... Proud and blessed to have my youngest there working on her Master's then Law School. I hope i'm around to see how she can help change things in the future but I know she will. Compare what a male NBA player makes compared to a FEMALE WNBA player. Apples to oranges. Those girls could beat some of the men's teams yet they're denied equal pay from owners. A business? Nah! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and the "one and done" players in basketball. The scholarship monies should be paid back and then some. Maybe the first few paychecks go to the university.

I FIRMLY believe once a kid signs a letter of intent he plays for 4 years w/the exception of the red-shits. This crap of leaving College for the pro teams after a year or two is crap! Perhaps they can compete physically but mentally? The ONLY team I know of that can truly do this is ❌ichigan w/the "Dynasty" they've built... Do I get a "Boiler Up?" 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the universities making enough money off these kids already? Not to pick on Alabama, but they brought in $164 million in athletic revenue during the 2016-16 season alone!!! https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2017/02/how_alabama_football_makes_its.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Good point, but be careful. What if every senior sat out bowl games because they might get drafted? How would the so-called national championship look then? Big sale on can'o'worms! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what that playoff gaggle is thinking now about their 4 team selection? Bama SHOULD totally spank OK but this ND game? Seriously?
