More potential NCAA changes

... and California democrats got together and said minimum wage should be $20 an hour for patty flippers and a lot of people lost their jobs. There should be a natural sweet spot, dictated by supply and demand, but college athletes are supposed to be amateurs and letting them become free agents doesn't end well (in my opinion). I think there are other ways they could have compensated the players and still maintained their amateur status in the interest of keeping college athletics as "pure" as possible. I mean, isn't that one of the reasons why so many of us enjoyed Florida vs. Florida State over Dolphins vs. Buccaneers? There's an element of youth and innocence... however corny or untrue that may be... and I'm seeing that slide over the cliff as we speak.

Don't you think it's problematic to allow college athletes to make tons of money and unlimited transfers? Don't you think that ends badly?
Corporatists say the same thing every time an increase in the minimum wage is proposed, and their "sky is falling" bullshit never pans out. Pathetic! Ending the grotesque wealth disparity in this country is the #1 priority and a $20 minimum wage is only a tiny piece of what is needed.

I think everyone should get some sort of Universal Basic Income (UBI) after this is all over and the cheaters and liars are put away for good. Everyone deserves to be free and you sure can't be free when they & them control your life. If you're not jabbed, your fired! Or, no jabs=no college for our kids. Horrible way to live as a slave. I would also like to add that the retirement age be 55 and everyone 55+ should be taken care of for the rest of their life and not thrown into some nursing home or "A Place for Mom." How come there is no "A Place for Dad?" Lots of information will be coming out the next two weeks and months ahead that will piss everyone off except the real cheaters and slave masters.

Huh? What's your proof that it never pans out? How many businesses do you own? My kid has friends that were laid off at her place of employment, which was designed to give a lot of teenagers some spending money and somewhere productive to be on the weekends, because democrats think buying votes is a good idea when your lack of leadership doesn't win them.

If you want to end the "grotesque" wealth disparity, make yourself more valuable to an employer.
 
It's a nice story, but it's fear-mongering bullshit spread by people (and their mouthpieces) who want to pay as little as possible to workers, especially ones without any political power. It's not true. It's never been true. But the target audience continues to believe and spread it.



They weren't victims or slaves before, and they aren't now. Lack of accountability has very little to do with it, but it's certainly a common "get off my lawn" argument. Along with the terrible music, dress, and hairstyle of the younger generation (repeat this argument every 20 years or so, it never gets old).



Things can be weird for a very long time. People also generally don't like change. Unfortunately it doesn't mean that keeping things weird is the way to go.
I'll ask you the same question. "fear mongering bullshit" based on what evidence? Most people want to pay as little as possible. I want to pay as little as possible in taxes. Why would my company be any different? Not to the point of "slavery" like the drama club here would fall to their knees and cry out for, but "fair wages" is a relative concept. When I see 40-year olds demanding $20 an hour for dropping fries in some hot grease because they can't make their house payment, I sympathize if you lost your adult job and are just trying to survive, but also know this country is full of deadbeats with their hands out. California especially. That's the liberal voter base and they hate other people having wealth unless it results in a fat paycheck headed their way.

I had to do a double take to see if this thread was in "The Kitchen". Why do you insist in bringing these political discussions here? Can't you keep them in "The Kitchen" with all the other ill-informed bottom feeders?

Bottom feeders?
 
NCAA is considering giving ALL student athletes 5 years of eligibility.

This is on top of the 2ys of JC waivers. Which could make some players eligible for 7 years!

Not how it works Slobo, and it never has. Making a bullshit argument, getting called on it, and then asking them to provide proof (when you didn't), is trolling 101.

If you (or anyone who agreed with your point of view), actually believed that raising the minimum wage would materially cut jobs and be overall worse economically for the population as a whole, they'd look at all of the times it actually has been done and nothing of the sort came to pass. And they'd stop making the false argument. But you don't, they don't, and you're both full of crap - even if you believe in your bones that you're not.

I own five currently, for whatever point you're trying to make of that...and I pay no one less than $25 per hour. I understand the human dignity in work and I consider everyone valuable enough to earn a living wage for an honest day's work. I suppose I could be somewhat wealthier if I had a different viewpoint, but I would be no happier.
I know you're going to have the last word, so I do hope it brings you joy...
 
Such as you...for instance
Ok Captain Obvious. Thanks for pointing out the facts and now the Kitchen has officially moved out for everyone to join, including the top feeders like yourself Mr. Topes. It must be nice up in your Ivory tower looking down on us bottom feeders in the Kitchen. I smell your woke milk toast from here. When did you find out you were a? I made a mean bowl of Jumbo lie a in my kitchen today.
 
Playing college sports isn't slavery, Colin. Neither is the NFL combine. Jesus Fucking Christ... the victimhood with some of you is palpable.

If playing college sports is that fucking bad, don't do it. There's THOUSANDS of kids behind you willing to make you irrelevant.
"Slobodan", your Ukrainism is showing huckleberry, wanting free everything I see.... and watch your language you stupid f*ck...

I believe "Slobodan" has been hitting your pipe while your bent over....
 
100% Coach. My reputation was destroyed by assholes in youth soccer because I caught them all. Today, they & them call me names but one thing they & them can't take from me is my character.

"Wanting free everything." What are you crying about now? Ukrainism? Is that some word or concept? Did you hit "post reply" before allowing intellect to muddy your waters?

Earn a living wage? 16-year olds mopping floors and shaking salt on fries don't need a "living wage". But I guess there's more dignity in salt shakers when some fool pays you $30 an hour.

You're a saint.

I'll repeat myself. I've watched kids lose their jobs because of this minimum wage increase. That's how it works. Firsthand knowledge. That's not a bullshit argument. Saying California is a wealthy state and the 4th or 5th biggest economic power... blah blah blah... when we're billions in debt and facing massive financial shortcomings is trolling 101. I gave you proof and you chose to ignore it.

That money comes from somewhere and that somewhere is business owners.

Sorry, I hope you and your vagina recover from veering off course for a second. The thread is about NIL and paying players.

Maybe one day I'll be able to hang in the penthouse with all the genius soccer parents on this forum.

Elite Soccer parents know best, that's why they have their own Elite League. It's a league that now cost $20K a year to compete in. We got one guy on here that owns 5 businesses and another one that is a moron. These men are weak and bought. They buy what they want and then tell you to STFU and get lost. $20,000 a year to play Elite soccer in America. The rich elite's prey on the poor dad & child who can ball. "I don't have any money to fly to the East Coast to be with my daughter." Elite parent and dumb Doc: "Don't worry crush, we will take good care of her."
