"The bill has come due" - Sally Jenkins' op-ed

[1duluth1]

College football won't look the same the other side of Covid19, IMHO.
-Tim

>>>...Clemson’s arcade of a football complex includes miniature golf, bowling, laser tag and a movie theater.
...The party is over, obviously. A perfect storm has overtaken an NCAA structure that was rickety to begin with and is knocking it down, exposing all the rotten innards...<<<

College sports embraced reckless greed. With the coronavirus crisis, the bill has come due.

Bowling, theaters, laser tag, training table open 24/7, weight rooms that make any Planet Fitness look like kindergarten playground, locker rooms better than any Hilton …… Millions spent to get a few 4* & 5* kids to commit. Things have gone too far.

Wow Sally you really said some earth shattering words there. No one knew ...... except anyone who’s read this message board. No wonder newspapers are thriving in today’s world. Well pet stores use them to line bird cages and I have used them for starting fires and for the dog to pee on in the garage.

Hey Sally don’t forget CASH as a signing bonus to bring ‘those talents to (put on the hat Mr High School Superstar)’ which is laundered $$$$$ from shoe companies, boosters, and coaches. Hint check out Duke with Zion Williamson and I’m sure Coach K knew nothing about it-just like Pitino at the Ville and Roy Williams at UNC and Self at Kansas.

And don’t forget hookers and cash on the recruiting trips. And yes SEC football, Ohio State Football, and yes Clempson have all done it this way for years. How else do they win all the Title? They saw what the U did to win in 2 30 for 30 movies on ESPN for crying out loud.. btw everyone does it, those schools just do it better.

Keep up the good work Sally. With your earth shattering news story, I’m sure the leadership at the helm of the NCAA is having an in person face to face meeting (DAMN the COV19 or not) to start formal investigations everywhere Monday as to how to get the ship back on course. Well maybe Tuesday since it’s gonna be hotter outside Monday.

I'm thinking the athletic department loses $50-$70 million if no football is played.

They can borrow from the University if necessary.
