Amen and High Fives on your post averagedawg.

Again, takes me 1,000 words, you do it in less than 100 to get the point across.

I would be lying if I said this came as a shock. Being in a younger generation I've played my fair share of video games, NCAA football by ea sports was a huge buy for me year in and year out. Cancelled now, bc of mr Ed obrien and his lawsuit.

This will more than likely be a long process. This may be the end of college football entirely. NCAA is a corrupt organization that for years made profits off of the players likeliness. Lawsuits have begun, players want to be paid bc they make the machine that the ncaa is exist.

I for one am against paying college players, believe they get more benefits than they realize. But I'm also against the NCAA bringing in huge profits from these guys and they never see a dime of it.


Don't really know how to solve the whole players wanting to get paid thingy besides paying them....

We have started on a slippery slope my friends, a very slippery one.

Excuse me ed obannon is the name.

BullDawg2010, good to see you back.

If I could reach through my computer screen and shake your hand, it would be done.

You said this NCAA is a corrupt organization that for years made profits off of the players likeliness.

Never has there been a truer statement made.

Emmert has nothing to lose in this fight. He is against everything that the NCAA should be about. Emmert is trying to have some or many believe that the NCAA is all about "protecting" the integrity of the institution.

Comes down to this for me . . . . Emmert is like some in the government that have never carried a piece or any sort of weapon to protect those that he should be supporting and protecting. Emmert and grantham, put them in a bag, shake them up, and what comes out of the brown bag? Two very large EGO's that survive at the EXPENSE of others. I said that.

Buc, would shake hands with you any day sir, good to be back as well. Took a long hiatus, but will try to post quite a bit more than I've been doing the past few months.

emmert is a scum bag, and the day is fast approaching where the he and the rest of the NCAA won't be making the money they make from using players like they do. Now, whether or not they stay around long enough to lose this fight is another story, my guess is no.


Can't blame the players for feeling like they have been used and deserve their fair share of the cut, but at the same time can't support the players because I feel like this would end college football as we know it.

We will see what happens, doesn't look good. Writing was on the wall for me when me former UCLA star obrannon got his way in court. Knew eventually current players would pick up on this and see if there were ways they could get paid, looks like they've found it.


I'm sure this question has been asked numerous times on this board, but would you pay student athletes? Or are you 100% against it?

There is no easy answer, maybe a spending stipend.
If players get paid, do the stars make more than the walk ons?
Does the swimming team make as much as the football team?

I remember when there were a limited amount of games you could watch on Saturday.
We listened to the radio and I was just excited then as I am now.
We have entered a world where the game will never be the same.
And that's a damn shame.
