Is there any other way to interpret this other than he is admitting money is the only reason he still has a seat?

Most other students don’t bring in hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue to the university

Which athletes are bringing in 100s of millions of dollars in revenue to their university, specifically?

quote:

However, it’s asinine to prohibit the ones that do from making any money off of their personal image while you are selling their jersey for $100 a pop in your book store.

---

No, it isn’t. Because as what is happening right now proves with absolutely no doubt, the moment you crack that door open allowing anything there is nothing that can be done to stop it from getting completely out of control.

The very select few that are actually worthy of being paid don’t have to participate in the ncaa. Just about all of them choose to, because of that list I compiled previously and more. There are numerous other ways for them to pursue their sports careers that don’t prevent them from profiting off their personal image. They are not forced to participate in the ncaa, they choose to do it. If anything, the ire should have directed at professional leagues that prevented them from being able to participate in their leagues.

This kind of idiocy is why this has been handled so badly

while the players got nothing

the fricking irony.

this has been "handled so badly" because simps like you consistently parroted the 'players got nothing' nonsense.

- lower admissions standards enabling them to get into college only because they are good at sports
- full scholarships covering all possible tuition related expenses, even after they are done eligibility
- free academic tutoring with priority scheduling and accommodations
- free impeccable healthcare coverage that includes things like braces that have absolutely nothing to do with their sports
- all meals paid for
- all housing paid for
- free gear, equipment, and apparel
- free access to expert coaches and trainers
- free access to beyond 5 star facilities
- first class travel and hotel accommodations
- access to ncaa grants and funds for personal travel and tragedy expenses
- celebrity status and treatment on campus and in their community, even after they are finished eligibility
- national tv and media exposure
- towards the end, yearly COL stipends

all of those things have value. most of them have actual costs associated with them. all of them free to athletes, and for the most part no other students.

the primary value of college sports is tied to the brands of the universities that participate. the vast majority of athletes dont come anywhere close to generating revenue or value for their schools that come anywhere close to offsetting the costs of the lists above.

and morons like you continue to say they "got nothing"

There was no way keeping the door shut. There was absolutely no way the schools could legally defend saying kids couldn't market themselves and get paid.

---

Show me where any one of these “kids” was forced to participate in ncaa sports.

quote:

---

The fact that y'all seem to think there was any way the players weren't going to eventually win their right to get paid is astounding.

---

The fact that you still don’t realize you and everyone that thought, and apparently still thinks, like you are responsible for everything that has led to the tweet in the op is amusing.

Screw the simps that pushed so hard and never considered the mountain of unintended consequences that were obvious to everyone else.

It seems like you might be young and maybe lacking some understanding of certain financial mechanisms.

It’s obvious you are definitely old and definitely lacking some understanding of basic financial mechanisms, and economic concepts in general.

I have no problem with a credit card company facilitating payments from one party to another with bitcoin. Neither do I with PayPal or eBay or other Payment facilitator. To put it simply, I have no problem with bitcoin being used as a currency for 2 consenting people. I would not personally accept it as a currency for any work or product in my business. Would you? Again- I don’t have a problem with PayPal or visa.

---

Your post attempting to invalidate bitcoin because PayPal allows it to be exchanged between people in their platform but not accept it directly is in direct contradiction to everything you posted right here.

Only now that the stupidity of you ways is being highlighted so you not have any problems with visa or care about gold.

quote:

---

My concern is the valuation of bitcoin. As I’ve said, I have bought and sold it and made a profit. It was pure fomo trade. I have no problem with anyone doing the same. I have problems with people on message boards and social media touting it without caveats. There are a lot of naive people looking for the next idea to get rich. I’m here to caution any way that I can.

---

So now you’re giving up on the whole ‘I thought yall said bitcoin wasn’t a currency’ thing and trying to pivot back to valuation? :rotflmao:

What justification is there for gold to be valued exponentially more than porcelain or pooka shells? What are the fundamentals that explain the current share price of TSLA?

quote:

---

They aren’t gimmicks. They’re facilitators. If they want to facilitate a purchase with bitcoin then they should have that right.

---

They already do have that right. That’s not what we’re talking about.

We’re talking about your continuous failed attempts to invalidate bitcoin. In this particular example, it’s invalidating bitcoin being used on PayPal because it requires a processor to facilitate its exchange between 2 parties that have agreed to exchange it. That makes it exactly the same as a debit card. You are not making any attempts to invalidate debit cards. Why is that?

quote:

---

As for gold, don’t know and don’t really care.

---

:bwahaha:

How it started:

“I’ve used gold to pay for things”
“Donald trump has a gold toilet”

How it’s going:
“As for gold, don’t know and don’t really care.”

:bwahaha:

quote:

---

I used gold to pay for some work done on my house. I haven’t used it on PayPal or eBay or other online platform. I use USD for thst which works quite well.

---

“Remember, you giving gold to another person in exchange for something doesn’t count.”

So, literally, you use gold the exact same way that people use bitcoin on PayPal. And you tried to invalidate that use of bitcoin in that previous post, while propping up gold in another previous post because ‘you used it to buy things in the past.’

Are you understanding yet why you aren’t intelligent enough to understand these things? I don’t know how much more clear it could be at this point.
