Within our lifetimes attending classes will not be a requirement to play unless you just want to, these teams are basically PR arms for universities now.

Again, you say "a clown". With his success in and out of politics, what does that make you?
Go ahead and get caught up in the accent. Jeff would out think you in every situation you can name.
So tell us, oh wise one. In this fricked up, education ignorant state, and below average intelligence adult population...that has been demolished by liberal idiocy and stain politically thru decades of corrupiltion, abuse, and mismanagement......how would YOU be better fixing the issues? Be clear, dont say some random politically hack talking point.
And to be fair, ill give a point in my argument s favor..
Jeff had us poise to start correcting the government abuse of Louisiana tax code. Miraculously, he got a vote that would have changed how we're are taxed, and start moving Louisiana more toward a system like Florida and Texas. This pos moronic voting base, DIDNT SHOW UP TO SUPPORT THE MEASURE!! Know why? Cause they/we/you dont care enough to help ourselves by simply voting.
Yet, citizens like you, show up to boards like this, and call the leadership that tries in vein to help you get better, a clown who can get things done.
Pure brilliance

I noticed you didn’t even fein an attempt at answering the question.

I did, I told you that the requirement that they attend classes will go away within our lifetimes, and they will be basically paid PR representatives of the university. And I don’t really care about that or have any issues with it.
But to give you the answer you’re seeking, the amount that they would pay out of their pockets to attend school should they choose to do would seem huge for average schmucks but is microscopic compared to what the hawgs that are feeding at the trough of college football are taking away from it. And the players are the ones actually risking their lives and limbs in this deal.

In no way is this an answer to that question.

You crying about other people making money and virtue signaling for the players “risking their lives and limbs” isn’t an answer either.

Whatever. There is no answer I could give you that would satisfy you.
Basically, I believe college football is a business as much as it is a sport, and I have no problem with that.
I have no problems with the federal courts … and I will remind you that the Supreme Court decision that opened the door to this was 9-0 and that noted left-winger Brett Kavanaugh signaled strongly that he was ready to go even farther toward the players’ side … getting involved in this business/sport and making sure it follows the same laws as any other businesses.
I have no problem with players getting paid and with coaches no longer getting to be absolute dictators over peons, the ones who can’t abide it will get out like Saban and Dabo’s days are numbered.
I do have a problem with the wide-open portal.
I think the biggest reason old-line fans … and I am pushing 70 … are so butt hurt is that while fans certainly “pay the bills,” although the reality is more nuanced than that, they are learning that they never really had any concrete ownership in this stuff like they thought they had and that they aren’t going to be the primary factor in the equation of this sport moving forward, the players are no longer going to be transitory and disposable gladiators whose only purpose is to entertain the fans.
If that squashes some traditions, so be it, because while the devotion to tradition has certainly been part of what makes the sport great, it’s also IMO held it back in ways.
Where we are right now was absolutely inevitable once the money became insane and once the right court case was filed, everything before was a house of cards held together by “tradition.”

An attempt would be nice. You’re clearly doing everything you can to not do that though.
Here, I’ll even repost it for you to make it easier:
Do you think stupid people like you would still be saying athletes are uncompensated and scholarships are worthless then?

Whole bunch of words that in no way answer the question.

Just confirms that you’re a stupid person. And the vast majority of athletes that would be essentially breaking even or losing money in that scenario would agree.

This is retarded, but glad your baw got that tax break for yachts through for his buddy.

Okay, serious question...
Why does college football have to be a business?
Why can't the student athletes transfer at will (like every other college student on campus can), and the universities athletics dept. will just figure it out?
Also, why does an athletic dept. have to promise any sort of monetary guarantee too said student athlete? If said student athlete wishes to make money off of their own brand, the athletic director simply needs to say "That sounds great, you should do that."

The answer to this is the administrators wanted to keep all the money for themselves instead and of act in good faith. Because of this they got sued into oblivion with their heads up their asses like they could never lose

Doesn't the NCAA have the "power" (I realize they have very little) to say that athletic programs can't double as sports agents?

I’m not sure what you’re asking. They’re mandated to share the revenue with athletes if they take the NCAA payout. That was kind of the entire point of the lawsuit.
They can opt out of NCAA rev sharing, but that costs them 10s of millions too

Why do football coaches have to guarantee money? Why can't they just hand the recruit/student athlete a business card of an agent?
I feel like the NCAA (who used to limit the amount of texts that a coach could send a student athlete), could regulate this.
