DeWine signs order OK'ing compensation for college athletes

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio became the 18th state Monday to allow college athletes to earn money off their name, image and likeness after a GOP attempt to add a transgender sports ban to the bill forced the governor to issue an executive order.

In a perplexing move that hopefully will lead to the end of college football in public schools, Ohio governor Mike DeWine signed an EO today that allows college players to make money.

“For Ohio to be competitive, we need to get this now,” DeWine said. “We need to let everyone know that Ohio is in the game. Ohio is going to stay in the game.”

The link continues:

"Such compensation could involve anything from a book-signing at a bookstore to a deal with a local restaurant. Exceptions include sponsorships for marijuana, alcohol, tobacco and casinos, which are not permitted under the order, State Sen. Niraj Antani said."

So when Louisiana allows "student athletes" to front for casinos...will they have an advantage or when Tennessee allows players to pose with a bottle of Jack Daniels...will they have an advantage? Unbelievable.

Does that include the CBAA (Crack Baby Athletic Association)?

Eric P. Cartman is going to be worried.

EMH was asked a decade ago

How many pro football teams in Ohio?

EMH: 3, the bengals, the Browns, and Ohio state

Isn't Ohio state a college football team?

EMH: well, if you define "pro football team" as " they pay the players," then Ohio state is clearly a pro football team....

“…a GOP attempt to add a transgender sports ban to the bill…”

Such is the reprehensible, bigoted, authoritarian right – this is the real issue, not compensation for college athletes.

It’s not really perplexing and if anything, it will further facilitate football on college sports.

College football in particular is big business, no reason why those who actually play the game should not benefit.

What is more perplexing is how we've changed our institutions of higher learning into a proving ground for the NFL or NBA.

What do you have against college football?

Is it too manly for libs who prefer the euro sport of soccer where little guys in tight shorts kick a round ball up and down the field?

Nothing at all.
If you're Notre Dame...feel free. They're a private school.

Paying kids with taxpayer money to play a game is pretty much the worst idea ever when it comes to college sports.

At most schools football and basketball pay for themselves

And they bring a lot of joy and excitement to taxpayer and welfare bum alike

Its what they have evolved into

And while the jocks may not produce a cure for cancer during their under graduate studies they do no harm either

In keeping freedoms there has to be a conversation between conformity and individual ways. Is conformity to restrictive or does it do the most for the most of the population? Thus leaving a smaller part not happy. Does individualism go to far as we seem to need a lot of taxes to pay for all of the excesses to be that as the ruggedness ends when wanting the government to subsidize behaviors. Inclusion is here. Going crazy with it is not good.
