When you look at the big picture, no you aren't. Like every Socialist/Communist movement ever started there are two classes of people. 10% very well to do and 90% starving. Your team is in the 10% so it's cool I guess.
And that’s less important than principals obligated to labor for free in a multi multi billion dollar industry.
Unpaid? Many of these kids will earn more in scholarship money, free rent, food and healthcare in the four years they attend college then at their most lucrative 4 year period after graduation for the rest of their life. So you are for breaking up Google, Facebook and Twitter as well?
Lol. I served and I own a business but I'm a communist socialist because I think players should be able to capitalize (capitalism) on thier likeness and talents. Great argument. Lol
Im cool with that. Pay them the cost of a four or five year education and if they want the education they can pay for it and also that frees the ones who can make extra money to make all they want. Lol.
It does not matter what YOU or I or THE NCAA or ANYONE EKSE thinks of their compensation. The fact that the principals don’t get to negotiate for it in a multi multi billion dollar industry is unfair, unAmerican, illegal, and immoral. It’s laughable on its face. How many times do I have to write this?
“No one is forcing you” is not an argument to support an industrial monopoly. In what world can you even write that in black and white?
Correct. You can’t get to maximize your enjoyment of an entertainment monopoly on the backs of indentured servants. That’s correct.
What? How is this ANY different than accepting any job or contract. When it comes to scholarships there are usually multiple offers, no one is forcing a kid to say yes, they choose of their own free will. I was in business for myself for 20 years and have worked for the State of Idaho for the last 9. Like every other State employee I signed an agreement prior to getting hired regarding both starting a business AND accepting a second job. If I decide to capitalize on my image or bring in any extra income I have to report it. You damn near have to commit a felony to get fired by the State, but they will walk you in a second if they think you have a time and financial priority above them.
How is it different that one cannot sign an endorsement contract, get even a free meal from a potential future employer, Etc? You’re asking how that is different than a regular job.
I get what the argument. But that doesn't mean it is good for college sports.
Listen dude, no one is not suggesting there needs to be a little reform. For fucks sake we had four dudes suspended for 4 games a few years ago for driving a recruit to McDonalds and allowing him to crash on their couch without charging rent. But a deal is a deal. I like America but hate how a lot of my tax money is spent. I have an option I guess, just not willing to move Canada and pay even more.
