Players getting paid...

[Anony Moose]

Lol, NCAA baseball and Legends games do not have big TV deals. Those are not massive forms of entertainment.

Sorry, meant Louisville Bats and not Bat Cats, but that's my point. No one gives a **** about them and won't magically start following them.

I’ll never understand how people will defend billionaires/large corporations. I’m conservative as can be, will never vote left, but how the heck is it so bad that things are set up in a way that billionaires can’t mooch off of us regular people? You worked for peanuts while the corporations make millions? That is not a flex at all. It’s sad that your mind is warped that way that you’re okay with getting taken advantage of. It’s always the middle class and poor defending monopolies and elites. I don’t get it. My only gripe with my own party.

Poor pitty you. Stop working for someone else, start your own business, take some risk and make the millions you dream of. Do not hide behind someone else's innovation and risk, so you can cry about being taken advantage of.

Once again, reading comprehension is tough for people like you. I’m not talking about business owners. I’m talking about billionaire corporations such as blackrock and vanguard. Why don’t you do a little research in what all they own. It’s actually scary. Also, please point out where I said I was taken advantage of? Are you seriously that dumb?

Sounds like you are a real Einstein. This thread is not about business class. It is about athletes talking about Universities taking advantage of them.

Universities are not taking advantage of athletes. At all. They're not forced to play for a school. They have tutors that, let's just be honest, are giving WAY more help to the athlete than a non-athlete student would be getting. The players and their NBA dreams need to move along.

The issue wasn’t necessarily universities paying kids directly, but the fact that the kids couldn’t go make some money elsewhere.

The kids on scholarship in the engineering school can go work somewhere and get paid.

The idea athletes can’t go make money elsewhere?! That’s an illogical and unfair argument.

I can understand NCAA ruling over the domain of college sports, but they have no authority off campus. Who are they to dictate what a kid can do, even better what local businesses can do?!

This is 100% my stance as well. It's amazing that it got out of hand so quickly. Kids should be able to make money from endorsements, sponsorships, autographs...that kind of stuff. But, we are so far beyond that. It's been grossly mishandled.

The transfer portal is a much bigger problem than NIL. Fix that and go back to the old ways and NIL becomes manageable.

Exactly

the difference is that your were THANKFUL to have a job
the players, like young workers entering the work force feel that they are ENTITLED to big $, even though they haven't proven anything

Years from now they'll be a 30 for 30 episode on the financial hardships of former college athletes. I can hear the headline, "the only big check coming in for these one time promising athletes is from reality."

They were accustomed to big money and a lavish lifestyle. The players who were unable to become professionals had to enter the job market. Now they're making substantially less annual income and the adjustment has been extremely difficult to navigate.

So, in order to alleviate the future financial hardships of former student athletes, it is best to withhold money they could be earning now?

If someone earns money and blows it all, what difference does that make to you?

Also, the only way to prove your prophecy is to compare how well-off the total body of student athletes were prior to NIL and where those are across the board in 15-20 years from now who received NIL.

I would bet that most student athletes will be better off who get paid the money they were deserving of while earning universities, corporations, and television entities their revenues.
