Let's pay coaches with free tuition too. Wonder how many coaches would still be in the NCAA if they only got free graduate degrees and doctorates. I mean, that's like a 200k+ value, that's payment enough!Ytowngirlinfla;612651 wrote:Exactly. I don't get why people think they are entitled to being paid. I mean most people work for large corporations and make them money, I know they get paid a salary but a free education is equal or better than most salaries.

Are you shitting me!?!? Hartline was twice the receiver at OSU than Posey ever hoped to be. Hartline caught the ball in traffic and over the middle. Posey so far has been strictly a sideline streaker...and we all know one pass he missed one gimme that almost cost the Iowa game. His name should be Devier Poseur.Ender Wiggin;612906 wrote:To be fair people said the same thing about Hartline, now hes a starter in the NFL.
Naw. The rich white players with tatoos paid for their own tatoos or asked their under-taxed and over-paid white parents to pay for them The poor black players with homeless, starving families are unfortunate victims in this unfair system that's obviously biased against black college football players.flydubbing;613021 wrote:Does it seem odd that all 5 players are black. I would think that the bad economy and the socio-economic conditions that motivated the 5 to sell their unwanted debris, would also affect the white players. Or is this just a stastical anomaly?

was it against the rules of the governing body known as the SOA (Science Olympiad Association)?

This is in the running for dumbest post of the year. Good thing you snuck it in before the 31st!2kool4skool;612927 wrote:Let's pay coaches with free tuition too.

Everyone knows about Title IX. Myself, along with other people that are likely ignoring your constant mentioning of it, are probably in favor of scrapping it. I'd be in favor of doing away with it even if it wasn't to allow athletes to be paid. It's an out-dated, counter-productive law.jordo212000;613089 wrote:He continues to make himself look silly. Some of us keep bringing up Title IX and other impediments to paying players and he instead resorts to this sort of nonsense.
By his logic, I should have access to the same resources as the CEO of my company because I just happen to be the one "sweating" on the front lines.

It is all about the money. If Tressel had any balls he would sit them for the bowl game, but WE all know that will not happen. F--- all of them and Ohio State.

The players aren't just the one's sweating it out, they're the ones with the unique skill-set that is the driving force behind all the money the NCAA makes. If talent-level of the players didn't matter, D3 ball could easily substitute for D1.
Generally pay is given out based upon the value, and scarcity, of the skill-set the employee brings to the job. So it's not a valid comparison to compare NCAA players to guys working a manufacturing line or whatever you're trying to do.
