Cuckoo birds? You need to tone down that language Zebra
Transferred in Jan to TCUHave a hunch that the NCAA will OK mid-season trades soon.
NCAA? I thought they folded months ago...Have a hunch that the NCAA will OK mid-season trades soon.
Sad that the slaves now have the same choices that anybody else in society has. So sad.If they want greener pastures or greener money good luck in your future. I hold no grudge. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Sad but this is the new state of college football.
They are ruining the pie, that's the issue. Maybe they won't I guess, maybe all these fans out there will love it and keep pouring money into it, even though no successful team sports organization in the history of the world has operated under a system to where there is no draft and all the players get to freely choose where they play from year-to-year.Sad that the slaves now have the same choices that anybody else in society has. So sad.
You people are something else.
You all are in favor of capitalism except when it comes to your favorite hobby.
Maybe if you were getting your knees and back destroyed and your brains beat in while the coaches are paid millions and the schools are building billion dollar stadjia, you might want a piece of that pie too, eh?
Steel is not specifically calling you out, PC, but this group of porcine couch-sitters as a whole are a bunch of morons.
The "pie" that they are destroying was exploitative, and destructive, and left 98% of the players with jack [ Finebaum ]e, while making many others rich. Your own beloved Scotty Nix died at 53 directly because of football. Many others of us were left with crippling injuries. The million dollar coaches and admins risk none of that, and realize nearly all the profit.
"Oh but they got a degree."
BS. First, many do NOT get a degree. Second, most get a degree that isn't worth diddly, in Sports Management and such. Third, most could have gotten a much BETTER degree without 40 hours of practice, travelling every other weekend, getting their brains beat in, etc. Lastly, many don't need to have gotten a degree in the first place, as many worthwhile professions don't require a degree.
"Oh but that's a choice they made. They entered into a CONTRACT!" Oh, really? A free choice, not sold to them and their parents as something it was not? Give Steel a break, and open your eyes.
From the player perspective, football sucks. It's human cockfighting. When you're 19, you don't know any better - it's great! So FUN! When you're 35, or 55, you realize it was a giant waste of time, caused you to do things you would never have otherwise done (like gain 50, or 100 pounds), and left you with nothing but a few memories and a bunch of injuries which get worse over time.
So, what EVER the players can get now of what hopefully is a shrinking pie, more power to them.
