Do Republicans Manage College Football Players?

[blastoff]

Any athlete who accepts a football scholarship and doesn't take that opportunity to educate himself and earn a degree is the author of his own misfortune. Guys like that have squandered the tuition, room and board, etc. that they were paid to play.

The one who has a strong wrist has been jerking off too many athletes.

The facts are simple....the colleges have turned the exploitation of black athletes who are not college material to begin with into a situation where the successful teams can hire a staff headed by a coach who gives orders, hires and fires and is paid millions of dollars a season. Or as Republicans refer to it......a normal business.

When the athletes show up to play they wear the college colors, have a number and represent a college who sponsors them. What the **** is the difference in that and NASCAR? One thing.....a good NASCAR driver makes as much or more money as his crew chief and sometimes as much as the owner.

exploiting black athletes?

OK. how is a full scholarship exploitation? It's a contract. Some black athletes actually do graduate.

And no white athletes are exploited and only republicans ( read ******) are the exploiters is also a point you have made.

I have zero problem with the entire NCAA football program having a plan that athletes need a 1000 SAT and B + GPA in HS.

That will solve your problem.

Typical Republican horse shit! Methinks you watch Fox News a lot. Nobody believes an athlete has to be an outstanding student.....just legitimately qualified...at least able to read.

I repeat....hire a team, pay them by the same percentages pro's do and forget the fact that they can't understand division and multiplication and don't know how to read at a seventh grade level. Using three "You Knows" per sentence might be something folks could overlook too.

I don't get the republicans are exploiting black athletes only part.

No dems are coahes or staff?

Only black athletes can be intellectually unqualified for college?



So what you really want is a minor league? We already have minor league football . It doesn't pay very well.

If the NFL wants to establish an organized minor league that is on them. In a way the NCAA is the NFL's minor league.

Your racial and political bias clouds your judgement

where are colleges going to get money to pay all these football players and all the other athletes

Surely you're shitting me. I live near the University of Tennessee. Each Saturday during football season there are at least 100,000 and sometimes up to 105,000 in the stands at Neyland stadium. The average cost of admission to the public is $50-$120 and some of the high dollar VIP seats are a lot more than that. Do the math.

I'm sure then that you are aware that UT Knoxville provides a free education to ANY student that graduates from an "at risk" high school in the state of Tennessee. That's a full ride including room and board. And surprise, surprise..almost everyone of the "at risk" high schools are inner city schools, with the majority of them from Memphis.

LOL....yeah..the quarterbacks

When in hell are you going to actually post something worth while instead of an ignorant one liner which doesn't mean shit?

Eventually every dumbfuck liberal gets back to calling white people racists.

White people have lowered the admissions bar for athletes mostly because of black athletes that have lower GPAs and SATs compared to white athletes on average.

Oh, but since "football and basketball" players that are mostly black don't get a paycheck from white coaches and white school leaders....well then the whole system is racist in the mind of a fucked up liberal.

The pathetic thing is they don't even watch football and basketball, they just want to cause trouble like usual.

Mostly black.........can you say 90%??

Combine the numbers from the NBA and the NFL and see where you finish.

I will state that over 50% of collegiate athletes are not black.

Ever watch a division II football game?
Baseball?
Hockey?
Lacrosse?

how about answering my questions.

is it slavery when a person has a choice?
Is it slavery when the athlete is compensated in one form or another?
Can you prove that only black athletes are in the NCAA?
All coaches and staff are white and they are all republicans?

take note how no lib has come into the thread and lambasted the OP for the ridiculous premise


Everything is about race for them sooner or later

Is this for real? Nobody forces these kids to take a free ride and a chance at huge amounts of wealth. If they don't want to play - they shouldn't...

I suppose you morons think that we should pay the players and then raise taxes to cover the money lost by the universities...

Can liberals really be this stupid?

They're the de facto minor league and the NCAA is a monopoly. It's a freedom thing. You act as if they have a choice when they don't, if a career in football or basketball is what they want. Minor leaguers get paid and don't worry about having to jump through educational hoops, if they don't really belong in college.
