There are far more student athletes that take their education seriously than there are ones with a full course load of basket weaving and _______ studies. They just play sports that aren't on ESPN.

Great they don't need a huge salary. Kick em like $100 a week.

The players on national TV with millions watching during March Madness though maybe deserve a bit of cash.

They get paid tens of thousands of dollars in free education, just like the guy on a full ride swimming scholarship. It's their own fault if they take a load of bullshit courses and graduate with a worthless degree.

its pretty justified to call them unintelligent and rapey, most of them ive met had these qualities to some degree

but you can't call them dumb and then also be shocked or mad or surprised when they didn't pick the hardest most productive major after agreeing to practice for a sport 3 hours a day, work out for another 2 on days where they can still stand, then another hour cooking up chicken and rice stirring up protein shakes before bed

it's almost as if very few human beings are capable of having a 4.0 and also being a huge meathead willing to die to be great at a sport or something???

Seems I touched a nerve. Tell me more about how choosing to play a college sport entitles you to money. Also, when I said tutoring you know exactly what I meant, don't be dense. College is a business, nothing more, and doing a sport to pay your way is payment enough.

if you're replying to me i don't think i've ever read a posts of yours, in terms of why college athletes get cool perks- it is probably because they risk their lives and train their bodies constantly to entertain and nationally represent their college, doing a huge amount of the marketing for the fat cats of the business without a dean or president having to break their own legs or kidneys themselves to get on national television with your campus and mascot being represented

Lol don't be retarded they take the classes their advisors tell them to take and most schools have specific watered down programs for athletes

Tens of thousands of dollars in free education lmao according to who? The school that sets the price? If a college gave you a bullshit degree after making millions off you and said "dont worry tho these degrees are like $250k normally n poo poo"

Like what kind of marginal cost is associated with each extra student do you think? Nowhere near what tuition costs. It's a completely bullshit one sided exploitative relationship in many cases esp in d1 schools.

Like a D1 athlete has time for a STEM degree anyway it's like you ppl never went to college or something

When your employer sells your labor and makes millions and gives you peanuts in return it is exploitative.

The degree they get is often worthless

Idk how that's so hard.


If it's all a business how come they don't even get workers comp or something for an injury? Play for our school but if you get a career ending injury we'll drop your scholarship and you'll be stuck with medical and physical therapy bills bc lolo gently caress you you're just a student athlete.

i agree with you on the 100/week stipend but the universities arent employers of the players. for one the players wouldnt be there if they didnt think they werent investing in their futures some way and also they arent professionals. you dont go to college to get paid. THAT SAID, sports take up a lot of time so a small stipend can make up for any lost opportunity for part time work

yeah it's also coincidence that recruits get a bunch of kids in poverty. they don't have to go to college and play sports lol, they could always stay in the projects and work at McDonald's

anyway yeah I'm not saying they should be making what professional athletes get paid but drat give em something. let's not pretend there aren't millions of dollars being made in the NCAA. almost a billion dollars a year in revenue. Yeah I know it's a non-profit but all that means is they're supposed to have their expenses be equal to their incomes.

cool bro good thing every single person in this country has the same opportunities as you did

recruiters definitely don't go to poverty stricken neighborhoods and dangle escape from the ghetto as incentive to get away from the bullshit to kids who don't have the grades or money to go to college otherwise.

'it's a choice' is some bullshit rhetoric you say about people getting exploited, just like people say for sweat shop workers. 'well they don't have to be there!' You're right, they don't have to, they could be dealing drugs or working 2 minimum wage jobs like everyone else grinding to get by.


a person does the work and makes millions of dollars but sees absolutely no money from it, that's exploitation and it's bullshit. if you think I'm wrong then fine we can agree to disagree but stop with the classic conservative rhetoric from 15 years ago.

I don't disagree that recruiters do that poo poo, all headhunter types do in all parts of business. I don't see how my views are conservative rhetoric when they're my own personal beliefs that I've unfortunately had to come to terms with. I've been in the shithole, still had enough common sense not to get sniped for some bullshit.

Sweatshops are primarily staffed by abductees and kept from going anywhere, so their choice is keep working or suicide.

We should kill the rich and eat them, yes. Just don't act like willful ignorance is something that doesn't take place for this poo poo. There are people who legitimately don't know, but how many go into college thinking they're going to get paid? Do we need to talk about unpaid internships too?

Like I said, I agree that all the money made from sports is bullshit, but I also don't think that college athletes should get paid. From my perspective pro level players bitch and moan about the most menial poo poo, so gently caress them too. Maybe we should start paying all students in a Master's program too since they don't have time to work either, or even new students taking 15+ credit hours.

Goddammit, you got me to efforpost. Congrats. I'm not trying to get into a poo poo-slinging contest with you, just express my views. Namaste.
