Yeah, about that. Not sure you understand what that means. FYI, they have no Louisiana players on the state flagship team So NO, the boot up sjit doesn't apply

Sure, but they don't have a right to work at any job they want, regardless of their qualifications. College athletics has a set of eligibility rules. That is effectively the same as required training or years of service in professional and trade jobs.


Not a lawyer but I don't think this is the same at all.


Also curious if/how Louisiana being a right to work state impacts this if at all.

Not all eligibility requirements are the same aka I need someone with x degree is not the same as I need a white person. I am not saying discriminating based on past experience is the same as racial discrimination but it isn't exactly requiring a degree or other work requirement related either

Objectively someone without x degree is not qualified to do the job. In this case the players are obviously qualified. So what is the discrimination based on the fact the worked for a competitive professional league? Well that is anti competitive no?

I'm right. Yeah, wade said that gay shite, yes! Happy?
He was far from using "boot" to describe Louisiana or use it towards a recruiting descriptor

There's no reason to be mad. It's just that what a lot of us have been saying all along is coming true. College ball is no longer. What has taken its place is semipro ball with mercenary players. If you like, semi pro ball, fine.

Yes, my post was sarcasm. It's dumb the way people react to "pros" wanting to come back to college to play ball as if the college athletes aren't pros too.
The whole "amateur athlete" ship has sailed and it's not coming back. It's time we all treat these kids (young adults) like professionals.

The people who are "mad" at it currently aren't really mad at it. They're mad at who it is getting the players.

If this was someone like Calipari, Hurley or Pitino, they'd be talking about how smart it is of that coach to push the boundaries and go and get these players. If it was one of those coaches, they'd be talking about how great it is that they're helping these players come to the states and enroll in a university to potentially get their degree and set them up for success after basketball.

But it's not those coaches. it's Will Wade and LSU. A coach that left a somewhat decent "basketball school" to come way down south and coach a football school that should know it's place better when it comes to basketball. It's the fact that Wade has beat out some of the blue bloods for those same players.

Make no mistake, this isn't about the players. It's about Will Wade and LSU.

Correct. My post was sarcasm. Apparently some didn't get it or didn't read the whole thing. I edited my original post to clarify.
