I can think of no reason this market needs regulation. If the NCAA and the players want to collectively bargain, so be it (though the players would need to unionize). But there is absolutely no governmental interest in placing restrictions on, or otherwise manipulating, a market for football...

Yep. Markets work, if we will let them.

They already go there now. I actually think the result will be schools like Tech being able to buy one or two difference makers. The value to us of a couple of those is found in the fact that there are still 22 people on the field. Can’t sell any jerseys on the bench, and contrary to what seem...

Seriously? We’re not supposed to tax income as income? I’m more than fine taxing the athletic associations on their profits. The issue is most of them aren’t making money; in fact they’re nonprofits. This would be like saying people who work at the American Cancer Society shouldn’t be...

It definitely is about that, and it’s probably (definitely) beyond the scope of this thread. I’ll bring it back, if you don’t mind. Let players be paid, and tax them accordingly. It’ll help improve our tax payments to tax receipts ratio.

I’m not, though. Most of the items you list aren’t public goods, and without relitigating Wickard v. Filburn, most of the things listed shouldn’t be handled at the federal level. Regarding the issue of donor states, though, most of those analyses don’t consider the form of the transfer. For...

I think the issue I take with this is that it’s quantitative, not qualitative. The idea that going to college is, per se, better than not is just not something with which I can get on board. I’m an attorney, and there’s not a day of my life that goes by that I don’t wish I was a welder. I’m...

Pitt probably doesn’t have the offense to cover this spread. It’ll be a low scoring game, and hopefully our luck on homecoming will continue.

Federal “support“ is almost never the key to anything. Also, $22,000,000,0000,000.

Paid or actually attending?

I expected 2-10 this season. If we set the over/under on remaining wins this season at .5, I would probably take the under, though Pitt, VT, NC State are possible - probably a one in three shot we win any of them. Next season, the schedule is such that the team could be vastly improved but...

The number of people on this board who simply have a complete inability to objectively look, and who view any attempt to do the same as a personal affront, at our team is staggering. My eyes just rolled so hard I saw my frontal cortex. Have a lovely evening.

We had 345 yards of offense. I’m thrilled we won, but the idea that the offense was somehow much improved is not close to accurate. We had nine possessions, six of which ended with a punt, another ended with a turnover, and another ended with a fake punt. In 60:00 of regulation, the offense...

Well, now.

They’re 6-0 on the basis of four one score wins (try repeating that; it won’t go well), hammering Illinois, and beating Nebraska without its starting quarterback. I suppose 6-0 is 6-0, but that’s a program that scheduled wins instead of games.

It’s one thing to accept that bagmen exist in general and another to accept that one exists in this instance. It’s the difference between saying someone stole my car and you stole my car.

The most ridiculous part of this is the idea that Clemson is giving them enough money to punt on the NFL. Even second round picks get seven figure contracts (though not fully guaranteed). I mean, think of the check they’d have to write to make it worth leaving that contract on the table to...

Every game they’ve played against 1-A schools has been a one score game. There’s reason to believe this could be a close game, which means it could be a coin toss on whether we actually win it. Ultimately I have no faith in this team to do anything consistently well enough, though. Canes, 34-20.

Nah. I think I’m gonna keep bringing it up because it’s an important data point. Collins is giving us information. It’s up to you if you want to ignore it.

Perhaps I paid attention but Collins was careless with his words. And really, I could not care less about the style of offense we run. I want it to be effective, and this . . . ain’t that.
