Do you know what the NIH allows for? Doesn't sound like it.

No, it seems you are uneducated on the reality of the situation.  Go on, live in your fantasy world where the NCAA is a benevolent ruler.  Kiss the ring.

As I said, when you bitch about their bitching, they bitch more.

The NCAA sucks. But allowing kids to profit off their name and likeness was a change that was needed decades ago.

Your bar is sooo low when it comes to the NCAA.

Yes, they FINALLY, now, allow athletes to make money from their name and likeness.   How benevolent of the NCAA.  What good people.  If only we all were as pure.

Ignore the racist part where the players aren't paid appropriately for the work or the value they bring.  There was another peculiar institution that pulled that shlt...we had a war to end it.

College athletes should be able to profit off their own name and image if it is being used.   Many of the NCAA violations are bogus too.  And they should be able to work.  The NCAA hasn't handled college athletes correctly. 

But the majority of college athletic programs aren't even profitable.   And in general, the athletes in those programs, especially the full scholarship athletes aren't victims.   What is appropriate pay for a full ride scholarship athlete that recieves a tons of perks vs their non scholarship or their non-athlete peers.....for a sport that brings in no profit? 

college football's Trevor Lawerence or Justin Fields...aren't representative of college athletes as a whole.  They are anomolies. The rules for all can't be set around them.

Nobody here knows the real story or the details of the contract between the Panthers and the City of Rock Hill.  This is a 'he said/she said', with both parties claiming to be in the right.  Apparently, Tepper wanted all 225 million up front, RH said that wasn't in the contract.  We can all point fingers and blame Tepper or RH, but not one of here knows what's really going on.......

It didn't get any better with a new team and owner... In fact it got significantly worse.

The same people on here trashing Tepper are the same people that trashed Richardson and would be the same people that would be on here trashing a new owner if we got one.

putting jean Friday and all that to the side.....the Tepper and Richardson bashers aren't the same people.  Overlap? Sure.  But Tepper has plenty of unique Tepper bashers.  

*probably has something to do with the worse run in the history of the Panthers being his ownership.  Jerry's teams always won.  They just couldn't stack seasons together.

What do you think a feel free female swimmer at FL State should get paid? 

What do you think a full ride male soccer player at Wake Forest should get paid? 

Or the track kid a South Carolina?  What calculation should determine the paid salary you think they are owed? 

Please feel free to use your words.  The NCAA sucks.  But just because they suck doesn't mean going nonsensical the other direction makes sense either.

Yeah nobody wants JR back. But this logic that you can't say anything negative when the team has been residing in the basement of the division and the conference for going on 4 years now is nonsense. We were swept by the NFC East last season come on
