Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

Im sorry but this doesn't cut it. The institutions themselves value the higher earners (which is what they really are) more. Hence the vip treatment, bogus scholarships ect.

Anyway, its not...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

You either aren't really reading my comments or you don't understand what Im saying. Im basically throwing any pay system from the school end of things out of the window. Its untenable and currently...

LOL, in a large number if cases whistleblowers and dime droppers who cause reform or criminal activity to become unearthed are people with an ax to grind. This is nothing unconventional. Its how...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

It is just that simple. He's worth more than you are to the institution. The scholarship (to go with vip treatment ect) is an incentive to entice him to sign.

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

This kind of mentality is disturbing. Colleges (and by extension the NCAA) are not benevolent benefactors. They are businesses by any standard definition. Their objective is to profit. Why should...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

You're right about this. But that provision doesn't cover any revenue gained outside the institutions. I believe this where we'll see the money come in. Not that it doesn't already, butthis way it'll...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

You don't seem to understand.

From another thread:

"Amateur status", "education", ect are all just red herrings at the end of the day with respect to this issue. The entire transaction (which...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

Your right abt the NBA, my mistake.

As long as things remain the same the NFL has no incentive to change what they do. They've beaten every major threat to their way of life in court. They and the...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

When you help generate massive amouts of revenue you should be entitled to some of the profit. That's all this is about. I understand your disapproval but...thats life.

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

That went out the door as soon as profits entered the scene. That genie is never going back in the bottle. The more money these institutions make off football and basketball the more people will have...

Re: EA/CLC Settlement With O'Bannon Team Is $40 Million

Lets be frank, there is never going to be an NFL minor league.and the NBA is not interested in expanding the NBDL. College athletics have a stranglehold and will continue to have one (as they want,...

I don't follow. There doesn't seem to be a single reasonable person advocating against this. What's the connection you're trying to make?

Re: EA Sports Will Not Publish College Football Game Next Year, Future Plans in Doubt

Once you cross the line and say that schools should pay players you lose leverage on any kind of "education" incentive. The money these institutions make has absolutely nothing to with the education...

Why shouldn't he get the same opportunity to profit from his name and likeness that the NCCA and his school do? And to be clear, we're talking profit in the same exact manner, money.

Re: EA Sports Will Not Publish College Football Game Next Year, Future Plans in Doubt

The money lost would be nothing compared to the end result of the best players not being in college at all. It's most definitely in the best interest of the NCAA to keep these guys in school for as...

Re: EA Sports Will Not Publish College Football Game Next Year, Future Plans in Doubt

Debating the ins and outs of players being payed by schools is a waste of time. Any fix along those lines would be convoluted. The questions for the NCAA are simple:

What good reason is there to...
