I agree that it's not a good thing that the QB isn't prepared. On the other hand if in those interviews, and I'm speaking hypothetically because I can't remember them or the context, he's taking responsibility for that lack of preparation then you at least like that he's willing to do that and...

Nice one :ROFLMAO:

OK I had obviously misunderstood your comments and appreciate your explanation. I do agree that it's a moving target and also that it's likely nobody is going to be happy. I also agree that there are so many places where this can stumble and fall and certainly that there's absolutely a...

That's a completely different discussion which was why my post wasn't responding to your point. The schools are not the only ones earning the money from the players so that whole thing about it being the schools only, to me, is incomplete. We do agree there are expenses the schools have to...

You mean except when you said "No matter how much someone receives ... it will never be enough" which is a direct quote from your post. Or when you said "I just think all this talk about providing for families back home is nonsense. There's going to be a lot of noise and in the end, the problem...

So your argument would be that even if the money is available and the SA is largely responsible for generating it that we shouldn't let them have some of it because they can't be trusted to do "the right thing" with it? But it's OK for the sponsors and the NCAA and the schools to get more and...

As I said I don’t have answers. But I suspect that athletic departments and the NCAA and their sponsors and the networks have, between them, money to help try and find an answer. But I know it’s not an easy problem to solve and certainly not one where someone could waive a magic wand and make...

By the way for me it’s not a foregone conclusion that the athletes need to get paid in addition to the scholarships. I just feel the questions are worth asking especially as the money coming in is exploding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know what it fair. I don’t have enough information to even begin to make that determination and I probably also don’t have the right skills in finance to make that kind of call. But I think that you are absolutely asking one of the right questions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I made that a bit ambiguous by my choice of words. In this case the word deserve wasn’t meant to indicate that some do and some don’t and we have to choose. It was more meant as an inclusive of all players who are helping bring in the dollars so they, as a group, deserve something more...

Except the concept isn't "welfare." Welfare is when financial aid is GIVEN to people who need it. I think the point that's being missed is that those who would like to see the players get some money feel that the athletes are EARNING it and aren't being remunerated fairly. At one time it was...

First of all much respect to your Dad!!! I wish there were more people like him around these days!!! Personal responsibility should be a timeless concept. Let me pose a scenario and I promise this is sincere and I'm not going to jump on whatever you say: What if your Dad had had the...

No no. Not your bad at all. I just thought it was a funny phenomenon. That's all. Sorry if it sounded like I was making it sound like it wasn't appropriate. This is a discussion board and discussions go every which way and that's a good thing.

It’s awesome how a thread congratulating Nate Woody for being named DC at Army so quickly turned into a discussion about Ted Roof [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with your last statement. But I think we will never know if Bryce had thought that he could help his mom and brothers out by earning some money while in school that the outcome might have been different.

This is, to me, an exclusionary way of looking at things. It says that since we can't help EVERYONE that we shouldn't help anyone. I prefer to look at it this way. If there's a pool of money that is being earned based on the actions of the football players then maybe that's something that can...

My issue with statements like this is it seems to mean that if we're not helping everyone we shouldn't be helping anyone. It is absolutely tragic when there are students who feel so helpless that suicide becomes an option they turn to, or that they turn to it for any reason. I think what sets...

NVM. I didn’t like the tone of my own post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quit being so insensitive. Sometimes people know there’s a problem and don’t have all the answers. It doesn’t make the question invalid. I don’t have an answer or I’d give you one. But there are billions being made and there are people in positions of power and knowledge who should be tasked...

Damn right!!! I don’t have any answers, either. But the fact that some will abuse the system is no excuse for us not to try and find a solution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
