Screw it. Make the players pay to play. Nope. Not far enough.

I say we enslave any kid that projects to be over 6’3 at birth and force them to play for our pleasure for free until they are worthless to us. In which case, we freeze their sperm to procreate more basketball slaves. Afterwards, we euthanize them, so we do not burden the tax payers.

@Buster-1926 I’m not going to argue about this. There are far more things to be concerned with from waste of taxpayer funds from Universities than athletic scholarships. Or crushing 18 year olds for a major commitment. Much more of one than the average student.

I’m ok with making them pay it back I guess, but only if you take out at least $8.00/hr of the time they spent playing basketball.

I played baseball in college for a semester. Hated it. Hate the coach. Hated my teammates. Hated the school. Hated everything about it. It was completely different than what I was told it would be like by the coaches and players while I was being recruited. And unless you have ever been in that environment, you would never understand. Class is hard enough, putting a job that you absolutely hate on top of it kills you.

It isn’t the same as paying a car loan. It just isn’t.

It’s pretty simple. There are people who don’t like change. And there are people who are open to it. You will never be able to convince those scared of change of anything. They like THEIR life with no regard for anyone else’s. They would rather someone else be poor, when they don’t have to be, because it will effect them in the tenny tiniest way.

It’s a sad, but fair, way of looking at things.

@BShark Yea and then you’ll bring it here like the great human being you are.

@dylans Can you elaborate how this would ruin KU Basketball?

What draws you to it? That the corruption goes on in the background and you can pretend that it isn’t happening?

That is quite an imagination you have…

Imagine how fair that would be… Set the cap at $200k/year. Pretty much everyone in the country could come up with that kind of cash for a single player. If you knew you could only make $200k for the year, why wouldn’t you just pick the school you actually wanted to go to?

That right there, is far more fair than the current system.

@BShark I mean it is what it is. I was about 99% sure I was going to drop before, and now we literally don’t have anyone even trying to be an insider. I don’t know what would make it worth paying for.

@dylans Just me personally, it isn’t like I am saying just let them fetch endorsements with no rules.

There should be rules in place for this. And perhaps a cap that a player could take each year.

I am definitely not saying let’s turn this in to the Wild Wild West. I’m just saying that there is a way to do this where everyone wins.

@BShark I wish I was sad to see him go. But he really didn’t provide much new information. Any that he had he was too scared to say.

Well I’m confident that Matt was overpaid.
