I don't know for sure. I was under the impression that to this point,NIL was from outside businesses,and individual alumni/boosters. That may no longer be the case with the most recent change that allows schools to pay their athlete pool up to $22m(or whatever the # is). I think most people would agree that public school teachers as a whole, should be making more $.
Its definitely unfortunate. But I don't see pro athletes any differently than any other elite level professional. Corporate CEOs, high level doctors, high level lawyers...the elite of the elite... in industries and segments that have a very high demand... they make a ton of money. Who else should get the biggest chunks of that money that people are excited to spend their money on?
There is money now being filtered through the schools to pay players directly. But a very significant portion of a players NIL compensation is still coming from outside the school. At some point, it will be regulated...and that will end up happening so the schools and legislating organizations can get a bigger piece of the pie again.
I'm not saying I expect anything to change. I'm just saying for me personally, it's a huge turnoff and so I choose to vote with my dollars and time and not support pro sports very much anymore.
1) I said pro athletes specifically, because of their mega-salaries. I'm actually happy for college athletes overall because I think they deserve some of the $$/value they help generate. To me pro athletes salaries have just gone overboard. And again, I'm just saying for me personally it's a turnoff and has crushed my interest in pro sports.
Those same entities(nfl,etc) get tax money from food and beverage tax and they typically get big tax breaks while public funds the building of said infrastructure. So yes we do fund them with taxes. You pay for it somehow through creative means.
"Having said that,teachers unions need torn apart and dismantled. The corruption has a direct impact on our kids."
Two schools of thought, I'd say.
Very well put and I would say you're correct. I was just saying the UK lean because of all the heavy buzz around them lately and the rumors that the new staff have targeted him.
Seriously? The people at the top are controlled by Soros. Are you ok with drag shows in our public schools? It's happening right now in the name of "inclusion" but with the intent of separation of kids from parents by ideology. Same with CRT. This isn't a secret,or new.
Could you please take your slack jawed whack job politics to the WC where it belongs.
Another hillbilly whack job that just can't stfu. This is a thread about a recruit, not a soap box to display your slack jaw weirdo ideas...
🤣
I’m with most on this. Go to the cooler with that shit. He posted against both of you.
Ok..I will go to the cooler,to answer a question that was asked here..makes sense. Gtfoh
No. It’s commonplace to stfu and not entertain political rhetoric on a basketball thread. Deal with it or move along. Same goes for the other posters. Most other forums would lock threads or warn. We are simply warning you.
And wtf are you?...kick rocks
I’m just telling you. You can say what you want but I’m just saying what others won’t. Keep it up and this will get locked. Let’s keep this thread on topic. Keep politics in the cooler. Am I being unreasonable?
As I said...I was asked a question. I answered the question. The person who asked,still hasn't replied. Do you see how other people are the ones that brought the topic to the forefront and amplified the topic? Which of you went ahead and ignored the political rhetoric like you say?...which one of you stfu,like you insinuated I should do?
Hahaha....you gave into your mainstream media addiction when you said "weirdos"....one of the most used terms in the last 3 weeks amongst mainstream media and democrats.....hahahahaha...truly laughable.
