NCAA needs to mind their own Multi-Billion dollar business
Posted on 4/29/19 at 3:03 pm

For a century or so, boosters gave athletes and their families money thru jobs, loans etc. Nobody died.
Let's go back to boosters giving kids "part-time jobs" etc. Taxes get paid, kids can buy a car and enjoy college.
Sorry, but TV networks make billions, Coaches cash in, non-revenue sports get paid, sponsors sell beer, cars, phones, whatever.
Let the ballplayers get their taste. Let the boosters do their thing. Doesn't cost the schools a red cent.
The whole damn thing is absurd.

The system is so out dated it’s pathetic and laughable. Anyone that believes that totally clean major programs exist are completely naive.

If there’s anything this trial and the accompanying media has shown, it’s that there are few to no clean programs in D1 sports. Fact.

If Will Wade was coaching at another SEC school, this board would go ballistic calling him a cheater and demanding he be fired.
But Wade wears P&G so he's golden.
Hypocrites.

There are over 350 division I basketball programs. Your statement is not even close to accurate. A large handful have had their names surface. Not 300+

It is the height of hypocrisy for these billion dollar leaches to forbid kids to get some cash.

The whole thing is just silly. I don’t see the point of everybody knowing what is going on but pretending we don’t.

He's getting free tuition, room and board, etc. He's getting massive nationwide exposure under the Alabama brand and from the SEC's relationships with the TV networks, which is incredibly valuable. He's playing in billions of dollars worth of facilities owned by the university and is being coached by the best college coach in the game.
Tua's getting as much as he gives.

Not true. The same thing happened the other day when some guy got on the stand and said he was paying Bama football players and I couldn't care less because I realize that LSU was paying players during the same period. Any team that is in the top 10 recruiting rankings is doing this and has been doing it for a very long time.

Tua is getting a lot more than that. Didn’t his family pick up and move to Alabama?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know that I and many others wouldn't be pushing some kind of morality bullshite about it. Of course deep down I'd maybe hope for another SEC school's program to get wrecked because it could conceivably help LSU, depending on what program it is. But I'm not under some impression that there are any "clean" major programs. You know there are TONS of other programs in both basketball and football that are implicated in all of this, right?

It is anything but free, he gets to perform a difficult time consuming injury prone job in exchange for tuition, room, and board.

Title IX- need to get rid of it first or Laura the goalie gets the same cash that Bill the running back does...

Exactly if the NCAA would come out and say that schools are not allowed to pay players but the rules regarding booster is lifted it would solve all these issues. If someone wants to pay kid to play at their alma mater that is their business, let it happen. It would become a free market and level itself out in no time.

I think they should let only us cheat.
