Not as much as it used to be.
I have no problem deducting a kid's scholarship from their compensation, sure, but when a kid brings in more money than the $50k they get, they should make a portion of that money.
CA college athletes can now get paid$$

Not always true - do you bring in more revenue/value for your employer than they pay you? Most likely you do. If not, your employer is probably looking to get rid of you - unless it's gov.

Baseball players can turn pro out of high school. What other sports pay enough to make a living?
Have you heard him speak? He’s clearly way more intelligent than you. Leave your own jealousy and insecurity out of it and you may see things more clearly.

I have to agree with Messy here Outlaw. Zion's story is super inspiring. I got pissed when I played local HS Hoops in OC when guys like Tom Lewis bolted their local HS Team for Mater Dei to make a super team. Zion stayed at his smaller prep charter school to play with his friends he grew up with. Had many "offers" to switch HS to play big time HS Hoops. Fantastic human too. Go Zion!!!
Correct. Not always true. But when it is true - and it is for most of the Basketball and Football players at the big programs and even some unlikely others: many of my daughter's gymnastics friends have been going to UCLA meets to watch Katelyn Ohashi. That's entirely due to her, not the program - they should get paid.
I'm not sure I'm getting your point. Hockey players can go pro out of HS too. Tennis, golf, soccer and baseball all have to make this choice. It's only basketball and football that aren't allowed to.

Yes, I've heard him speak. And you judging anyone's intelligence is laughable. Any dolt that uses "way more" should be taken out behind the barn and dealt with.

'Fantastic human' on the take. Have you already forgotten the freebies he asked recruiters for? Or do you think recruiters make that shit up?

Why are you saying basketball players can't turn pro out of high school? And let's not pretend a 1-and-done at Duke or North Carolina qualifies as 'going to college'.
Do you think it's appropriate to make jokes like this? Real funny, dude. What is wrong with you?
My bad. I carried some “off-topic” hostilities (his homophobic attack on my preferred presidential candidate) into an inappropriate arena. Sorry.

Do you think the UCLA gymnastics program, or ANY gymnastics program, would bring in enough revenue to support itself? You would need your daughter, her friends and a small army to do it.

Homophobic attack? What are you babbling about now? ButtGig? Isn't that his name? And please... when you DO respond... don't use gendered language.

I can only imagine the memes if your boy, ButtGig, gets the job. The Oval Office will have to bring in a special, pillow biting couch.
Pretty pathetic dude.
Now you know why I assumed Outlaw is gay, even if I was a bit gross about it.
He should stop being so angry about it.
