Libs are really gunning for college football
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 18th, 2018 4:42 PM Author: Startling lodge electric furnace Libs really, really hate college football. A college football player at someplace like Michigan is getting a scholarship worth $250K, about $20k in stipends over 4 years, plus free food, clothes, laptops, ipads, bowl trips with additional $500 gifts, and trips to places like Rome during the spring. This is on top of being treated like a god by other students, receiving preparation to make it to the NFL and make millions, and being handed jobs by alumni after graduation. I am so sick of libs crying about these poor exploited athletes. I would have killed to be exploited by an SEC school and drown in hot coeds for four years.
The big Saturday afternoon game between Big State U and Big State Ag is, among other things, the outcome of a system in which disproportionately black players do violence to each other for the benefit of a largely white audience. These players are not paid, despite the billions they generate in revenue for organizations run by rich old white men; the scheme by which they are nominally treated as students as part of a baroque attempt to avoid workers’ compensation payouts has corrupting effects on the colleges and universities they attend, which are among if not the most powerful institutions in the states in which they’re sited; the players perform, amidst military themes and trappings, in large, generally publicly-financed stadiums; college football in particular is plagued by issues of sexual violence that are fraught in ways that are beyond this rhetorical construct to get into.

|
Date: September 18th, 2018 5:03 PM Author: Haunting deep church ok I will explain it slowly so that ur deadspin-addled brain can comprehend it.
In baseball, if you're a highly touted prospect you have two choices: (1) sign out of HS, take the signing bonus, and go to the minors, or (2) take a scholarship offer and play college ball, in which case you commit to a minimum of 3 years in college, after which you can re-enter the draft. (In fact, you then have another choice of whether to take your junior-year signing bonus or come back and re-enter the draft after your senior year, a bit of leverage which many players exercise to their benefit).
in football that decision does not (meaningfully) exist, because the NFL is too greedy to pay for developmental leagues and has a rule against drafting high schoolers. as a result, the only realistic choice for football players is (2).
There is no problem with (2) provided you have chosen it freely, as playing college ball beats the shit out of the minor leagues in a myriad of ways. The complaint is that, for football players, they have not made that choice freely. The reason they have not chosen it freely is because there is an NFL rule otherwise. Therefore, take your complaint to the NFL. |
|
Date: September 18th, 2018 5:09 PM Author: titillating milky stage famous landscape painting Oh no I get your argument, it’s just beating around the bush.
Student athletes are not paid because the universities have a law that says they cant pay them. Yet everyone else gets to profit off their free labor. Profiting off the labor without fairly compensating it is wrong. The athletes should be paid what the market demands. |

Have a rule that universities can pay players. Vast majority will just get a scholarship. A minority will get paid beyond that. |
|
Date: September 18th, 2018 5:22 PM Author: Haunting deep church ok. college baseball programs have decided that everyone's skill set is "worth" a scholarship. (actually scholly limits in baseball are artificially low, so some guys get 1/2 scholarships, etc.) If you don't think that's a fair offer, you can take your minor league deal. The market at work!
I don't see why the rules for football can't be the same. |

it's because he, himself, isn't generating all that much value. the value comes from the "brand name" of the university, the team and other structures the university provides, etc.
also, remember that they call themselves STUDENT-athletes. "student" comes first. focusing too much on your "ecs" to the exclusion of your actual coursework is... unseemly. that's not, fundamentally, WHY you should be attending a four-year university program as an enrolled student. |

The Pacific Pro League would only employ players not yet eligible for the NFL. Players would receive, on average, $50,000 a year, though multiple people briefed on the idea stressed there might not be a cap (a star running back, for example, could earn $100,000, plus opportunity for endorsements).

Date: September 18th, 2018 5:26 PM Author: curious whorehouse brethren You could be right. However, I think college football is affected by this less than college basketball. Too many impact players on squads with nearly 100 players. I actually have season tickets to watch an FCS team and I am not bothered by the fact that I am watching a smaller program and not watching Oklahoma. The same way I much prefer college football over the NFL. Finally, who are we kidding, boosters have always been there and have always given kids extras-- just that most of the time they don't get caught. |

The stuff going on at Mississippi was relatively minor and they couldn't get away with it.

If you allow the alumni to pay the players directly, then the biggest losers will be the 600,000 strength coaches, etc.

Date: September 18th, 2018 7:04 PM Author: multi-colored bipolar stage LOL as if that's not what we have now. The NCAA should stop being retarded about stuff under a certain threshold. That's how all other public entity gift compliance works. And the real issue here is the federal government of the early 70s. Amend Title IX to allow revenue sports to pay a stipend that at least ensures a kid going to college and his mom aren't below the poverty line. You could literally pay every scholarship football player a $25K stipend and it would be less than half the salary cost of the 20th highest paid coach and the same as the salary of the 56th highest paid coach, the no name dude who coaches fucking Navy. It's fucking embarrassing to have football make this much money and these kids have to go back to the most wretched ghettos in the country over Christmas break. Anything more than that should come from endorsement revenue that would only be available to a handful of super elite players. And allow players to negotiate with agents the entire time they're in school and help them do it to maximize their leverage. Benefit the players more at the expense of the shady profiteers. Don't do the opposite, i.e. what college basketball did, conspiring with literal mobsters at shoe companies.
All of this will make the gap between haves and have nots bigger, but there's huge change already coming when the streaming services start outbidding the cable networks and forcing all these weird new match ups. It will be like a top 40 and then a net-negative program balance sheet under class. You have to get one of those 3,280 scholarships to get a stipend. |

college football fans don't want to be rooting for rich mercenaries. that's what the NFL is for. the whole reason people like college football is because they see it as down-to-earth kids fighting for a spot to eventually earn big riches (NFL). if the kids are already rich, it's no fun. |

Date: September 19th, 2018 3:05 AM Author: multi-colored bipolar stage Lol you guys hate this endorsements idea bc you know it would be terrible for the Huskers and awesome for big media market schools like USC and UCLA. Not letting them do endorsements is dumb. The top 10-20 most famous college stars are almost always skill position players that are locks to be drafted and way more likely than not to get a second contract. Fans don’t see them as plucky young kids hoping to make it. They see them as young stars who have to buy insurance because the NFL prevents them from getting paid. That’s why you regularly see shitty stuff like Fournette and Clowney being “injured” for their last year of college and tons of dudes who are leaving for the draft skipping their bowl games. Shit have the school get a taste of the endorsements and use the university brand. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4080648&forum_id=2#36838453) |

Date: September 18th, 2018 7:30 PM Author: Startling lodge electric furnace The worst are the people involved with the bowls.
In Atlanta, the president of the non-profit Peach Bowl, Gary Stokan, made about $684,000 in 2015, part of a deal that included first-class travel, travel for companions and social club dues. In 2005, he made about $266,000.
• In Tampa, Outback Bowl boss Jim McVay earned $993,458 in 2015, including $426,750 in bonuses. Ten years earlier, he earned about half of that. This year, his game is part of a 40-game postseason that starts Saturday and ends Jan. 8.
“Everything has grown,” longtime bowl advocate Wright Waters said of the larger college sports economy.
Such growth is fueled in large part by money from ESPN, including about $470 million a year it pays to televise the College Football Playoff format that started in 2014.
But after reaching new heights in recent years, such riches have opened these organizations to renewed criticism, especially with Congress taking aim at excessive compensation for tax-exempt businesses. It also reveals another stark contrast between the compensation earned by those who run college sports and the players who perform in them. In annual bowl games, players get a free trip and related benefits and are limited to $550 in gifts from bowl organizers, such as wrist watches and sunglasses.
“It’s completely immoral,” said Ramogi Huma, a former UCLA football player and longtime advocate for improved player benefits in college sports. “When you have that disparity and contrast it with a bowl executive director making a million dollars, when these players put their bodies on the line year-round and generate the money for that bowl game, it’s upsetting.”

Date: September 18th, 2018 8:02 PM Author: Startling lodge electric furnace It is interesting that the lib narrative has changed. It used to be the money from football needed to be redistributed to women sports. The last thing they would have promoted is paying football players. Not when the women's water polo team is chronically underfunded.

DONNA It's not the fault of women's sports. It's the fault of football.
JOSH It's the fault of football?
DONNA Yeah.
JOSH Football pays for all the other sports.
DONNA There are 53 players on an NFL team. The Univeristy of Colorado has 130, 85 of whom are on full scholarship.
I'm all for back-ups and substitutes but can't the guy who's forth on the depth chart at right outside linebacker also be fourth on the depth chart at left outside linebacker? Ifa college football team cut back to 70 scholarships, they'd still be three deep in every position and have a fourth string punter and place-kicker. 15 scholarships. That's a wrestling team.
