[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 949523, member: 1640"] It’s ok to not like communism. But blind faith in capitalism can bring about its own disasters. I have to believe I can succeed but it also has to be possible for me to succeed. If the system is rigged against me then blind faith will only work for so long. So don’t resort to straw man arguments. Lack of incentive can be true in ANY economic system where there is no chance to succeed on my own merits. Tech has lost the services of good athletes in the past because they felt shut out of the system. My argument is that this could get much worse with NIL unless there is some way to govern it. Capitalism can fail just like communism. But the reason is the same - corruption. Or, if you will, an inefficient economic system. So my advice would be not to get sidetracked by knee jerk reactions to people throwing out the word “communism.” Hitler was good at throwing that word around and he got millions of decent God fearing Germans to go along with him as a result. But throwing that word around rarely leads to constructive solutions. The question is whether the current state of NCAA sports is corrupt beyond repair or whether there is some fix for it. Simply letting the “market work” right now will probably spell the end of a meaningful athletic program at Tech. You are free to disagree but that it my absolute belief at this point in history.
