People have a right to work

This is going to be the key. Is college athlete now considered a profession? By definition getting paid to do a job would mean it’s a profession right? How can someone be denied the right to work and earn a living at their profession.

I’ve been saying someone like Pavia should be fighting like hell to keep playing college football. He’s not a NFL caliber QB but he could certainly make millions playing college football.

Buckle up because all those people who were crying years ago that college players should get paid are all acting shocked by what’s happening now. And it will only get worse. It’s really going to suck for high school recruits when the college rosters are all of a sudden filled up with semi-pro 26-32 year olds.

I think it’s all hilarious. Paying college players wasn’t really thought out very well.

The Supreme Court was perfectly clear ... what the NCAA had been doing for decades was an unlawful restraint of trade and compensation, which it was.

The NCAA caused this, not us.
