Fug the free education.

Free education

Free room and board 

meals 

big program? Maybe 5 grand in your pocket. 

I think we should just do away with eligibility requirements to go pro.  If you want to go pro? Go pro.

yes. especially when these kids arent even in the class room during the season and our basically performing pro athlete duties. Thats their job. Not going to school. Dont kid yourself.

 

Thats not even mentioning these kids generate FAR more in value then the tuition they are being "compensated" with 

I agree and most posters are stating that .... the NCAA is in over its head. But the op was about an idiot doing something he well knows is a violation.

NCAA is a billion dollar industry. everything you just mentioned is no where close to what the kids are generating. Pay the kids.

ok so you hold issue with where he did and not THAT he did it?

Money already is lining the pockets of the kids and the families who played Monday night 

Odell is just a dumbass.  Not sure why we can’t just call him that and also talk about the flawed NCAA

I agree.  But in doing so it becomes a professional sport.  Which opens up a Pandora's box of how to regulate it.  But that's another debate for if and when it happens.

people calling him a dumb ass for this are low key caping for an unjust system that exploits labor and value from these kids. to call him a dumb ass completely overlooks the real issue. people just like to poo on odell for whatever

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
