Are you a communist? Seriously - those that deliver - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/18 19:28:30

Athletes who don't want to play for non-profit universities - zounami MU - 9/18 19:41:51

It's not a matter of whether they can opt out - - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/18 19:58:45

are Those teams on the video game? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:58:56

RE: are Those teams on the video game? - MOCO SON MU - 9/18 17:28:35

They can try to market themselves and their sport - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:38:17

RE: They can try to market themselves and their sport - MOCO SON MU - 9/18 22:14:34

Whoever pays them shouldn't be associated with any school - tigerinhogtown STL - 9/18 15:31:37

I can accept a plan where they can make deals on their - alwaysright MU - 9/18 16:09:55

Some of these schools have passionate billionaire boosters - zounami MU - 9/18 16:15:56

It's just an example of ratio, not a prediction of actual - alwaysright MU - 9/19 08:03:18

like the 200k that Newton got? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:19:12

Yes, that would become commonplace.... except it would - zounami MU - 9/18 16:21:52

its Already commonplace. - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:26:00

even in Newton's case, he didn't receive the money directly - zounami MU - 9/18 16:46:07

at 1 point colleges were allowed more scholarships - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:51:07

Loans are a bad idea (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:42:06

Agents could only get reimbursed from future FOOTBALL earnin - tigerinhogtown STL - 9/18 18:29:25

why? (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 15:56:28

How is it not a bad idea (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:05:16

It would allow your high-value recruits to get an advance - zounami MU - 9/18 16:08:13

RE: It would allow your high-value recruits to get an advance - SEMO_Hillbilly MU - 9/18 16:45:45

That's an interesting idea to explore. (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 15:35:55

Makes sense, which means the NCAA will reject it (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 9/18 14:48:40

The NCAA's ideas & policies are good, it's just their - zounami MU - 9/18 14:53:40

It's their goal to make lots of money that makes them suck - ChinaTiger KC - 9/18 16:46:17

This is fine as long as royalties are distributed evenly to - zounami MU - 9/18 14:47:24

Would be nice to do that, either the game would become - BlackFlagTiger MU

The only way that pay-for-play works in the NCAA is if every - DHighlander NWMSU - 9/18 14:56:15

I don't know if you've noticed - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 15:04:26

That's where you a wu-tang are missing the point - Genco98 MU - 9/18 15:26:10

I get that point just fine - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 15:53:18

Then why are fans going? - Genco98 MU - 9/18 17:12:06

I don’t know why you keep quoting that phrase - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 18:06:37

horsecock. i'd stop giving a rip if there wasn't local - 90Tiger STL - 9/18 19:03:57

I bet you haven't been to in 20 years - Genco98 MU - 9/18 18:20:55

You can keep telling yourself that all you want. - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 18:45:25

He's right. I'm a College FB fan but not an NFL fan. If my - zounami MU - 9/18 19:27:19

Why charge $50 for a decent ticket - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:17:17

My point is the fans aren't going because - Genco98 MU - 9/18 17:49:11

I didn’t see those fans when KA - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:52:58

Most fans won't pay for a product that isn't competitive... - zounami MU - 9/18 20:07:55

Huh? - Genco98 MU - 9/18 18:02:37

Right, if it was just about the university - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 18:22:26

Why do think Mizzou had a die hard group 40,000 fan that - Genco98 MU - 9/18 18:47:54

so You must be in the die hard group - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 18:52:33

What in the world does that have to do with paying players - Genco98 MU - 9/19 08:46:02

To fund the Athletic Department and its programs which - zounami MU - 9/18 17:23:11

Then why pay the coaches - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:25:35

because if you don't they'll take their services to the pro - zounami MU - 9/18 17:33:40

why wouldn’t you have a chance on those types of players? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:33:15

I hope you are kidding - Genco98 MU - 9/18 15:50:25

The California schools (UCLA, USC, Cal, Stanford) didn't - zounami MU - 9/18 15:55:02

Why do you support team salary caps?... - zounami MU - 9/18 15:36:57

I’m still waiting on the data to support your assertion - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:43:09

The data is what happened to the pro leagues and why they - zounami MU - 9/18 15:51:56

Wrong: The salary cap is NFL owners colluding to use their - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/18 16:05:58

he's an obvious troll (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 17:12:51

The irony of this post is breaking the universe.(nm) - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/18 17:34:18

That's another reason. The bidding wars for players would - zounami MU - 9/18 16:09:41

I really believe you have a disorder of some type.(nm) - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/18 16:10:20

no counterpoint?... just resort to personal attacks (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 16:13:17

If I say 'blue sky' and you say 'I prefer chocolate sundaes' - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/18 16:18:02

College players wouldn’t be paid by the schools - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:04:29

Boosters are considered agents/associates of the school... - zounami MU - 9/18 16:11:38

then define what constitutes a players likeness - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:18:25

sometimes it seems like you're replying to another post... - zounami MU - 9/18 16:32:18

Correct, seasons like 2007 and 2013 would no longer be - zounami MU - 9/18 15:29:28

RE: Payment for endorsement work based on a player’s - SEMO_Hillbilly MU - 9/18 16:53:56

Not really true - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 18:39:45

135,000 *real* followers could be monetized.... - zounami MU - 9/18 19:16:56

Whatever helps you defend your argument to yourself. - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 19:38:15

So you think McKinney legitimately has 3 times more fans - zounami MU - 9/18 19:58:35

by the way, McKinney has virtually the same number of - zounami MU - 9/18 20:04:15

instagram must lie on the number of followers - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 19:28:21

You don't know what a fake follower is in social media?... - zounami MU - 9/18 19:32:15

You can still earn off of the bots - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 19:36:40

Wait, do you really think McKinney has 3 times more fans - zounami MU - 9/18 19:54:12

so naive... "Sorry Mizzou, but one of A&M's boosters is - zounami MU - 9/18 16:05:58

You act as if car dealerships don’t exist in Missouri - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 18:47:56

You act as if you don't understand that the "endorsement" - zounami MU - 9/18 19:23:08

You have nothing to support a single bit of that. - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 19:56:41

So, you think he has as many followers as KU basketball?... - zounami MU - 9/18 20:00:31

Yes, I do. - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 20:40:23

would it really be worse? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:23:46

I'm not trying to make this debate uncivil, but you really - zounami MU - 9/18 15:25:54

I have a hard time believing the 3rd string QB - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:31:25

RE: I have a hard time believing the 3rd string QB - SEMO_Hillbilly MU - 9/18 16:58:38

Data like how many Drew Lock jerseys - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:02:11

Lock never would have committed to Mizzou if he could - zounami MU - 9/18 17:19:56

There’s no data to support that - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:27:03

as SEMO said.... - zounami MU - 9/18 17:35:36

That’s where regulations come into play - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:39:39

let's hear some ideas on how to prevent boosters from - zounami MU - 9/18 17:47:20

i Have pointed out several in this thread - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:54:28

I don't get your point about 3rd string QB's vs staring QB's - zounami MU - 9/18 15:34:00

What’s not to get? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:41:05

Let's assume that Mizzou's starting QB would make more - zounami MU - 9/18 16:04:28

Not even close - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:06:09

You dodged both questions... congratulations. (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 16:14:10

think about it this way - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:25:09

RE: think about it this way - SEMO_Hillbilly MU - 9/18 17:01:58

There would be bidding wars for the top 500 players in FB - zounami MU - 9/18 16:41:19

Neither team was loaded with players - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:48:14

DGB wasn't an elite recruit? (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 17:21:51

Maclin wasn't an elite recruit? (nm) - zounami MU - 9/18 17:20:51

So 1 on each team? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:40:35

I was giving some examples.... - zounami MU - 9/18 17:46:19

Are you suggesting we may as well make it worse?(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 9/18 15:18:55

I’m proposing that the doomsday scenario is already here - zodiac6 JC - 9/18 16:05:11

It wouldn’t be that hard to add to the video game - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 16:16:48

I think you got it ass backwards. An even playing field - GA Tiger MU - 9/18 16:16:29

No it’s about getting paid off of their likeness - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 17:08:23

Ok. Different issue. But I still think it would - GA Tiger MU - 9/18 18:15:42

If you want balance you could do what they do in - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 18:24:55

I'm not for that kind of inequality. But I would - GA Tiger MU - 9/19 14:37:16

Yes, that's exactly what he's proposing.... - zounami MU - 9/18 15:22:55

Yes, there’s a reason why the same 6-8 teams - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/18 15:12:38

That's exactly right, and what I've been saying for the past - zounami MU - 9/18 15:04:03
