[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 650664, member: 2175"] Well -- and while I gather it is an anecdotal sense I really object to the "pimping" term; if I know what a pimp is he doesn't provide jerseys -- the argument was about getting a cut from his college when his college (and/or the NCAA) made money from his image or actions. So he has to be in school for that. And no school, no matter how much they protest, is going to quit offering scholarships because they would then have to make croquet the school sport. So it is in their ballyard and their decision. I have not reached the position of salaries and I don't think that is what this is about. I have a lot of regard for what Swinney has done at Clemson, but I do object seriously when a coach who gets huge bonuses for doing what he was paid handsomely to do once -- win championships -- and who drives cars provided by local dealerships at cut lease rates, then preaches about "too many entitlements already" when the subject of paying players comes up. He is far from the only one so I'm not picking on him. (I really doubt that all those coaches wearing Nike gear on the sideline paid cash for it.) We will have college football, so don't fret. It will be different off the field and it should be. But between the lines they are still teens banging into each other. [/QUOTE]
