Wow… this is where we are in college sports!

I appreciate your post. It is no doubt pay for play under the guise of NIL. However, the scholarship is pay for play. I’m of the position that since it has come this far, just restructure the entire thing after each sports professional counterpart.

To your point, college athletics has undergone a drastic shift since that landmark NCAA SCOTUS ruling.

 

They absolutely do at the professional level and in multiple industries. Google coach blasts player and you will find lots of examples at the professional level level. To draw an office equivalent, look no further than the White House press room or the front steps of the Capitol building. If they were actually amateur athletes, I’d say Barnes should have kept it in the locker room, but they’re millionaire professionals now. It’s how the world works.

 

I love it.

 

Ah, but the NIL is REIGNING in college sports as of today. Right now it RAINS money seemingly without policy or guidelines.

It would be good if we could REIN it in.

 

@31g8r What about my comment is off-topic of the NIL and college sports?

 

Fat finger on iphone

i was just scrolling, didnt even know it cause a rating.
My apologies, i undid the rating

Have a great day!

 

All the time.

 

Dude gets paid anyway. Transfer out next year. What did they think would happen with NIL? And Barnes recruited him. I guess he screwed up.

 

I’m sure the quote was very intentional. Making sure everyone understands ‘this is the new era’

 

At least he didn't suspend him without pay for conduct detrimental to the team.

 

He can’t.

 

I know.
I meant, at least "where we are at in college sports" hasn't fallen to the point where we have this happening.

 

Did he bad mouth him? Or did he identify something that he didn't do that he should have done that will have consequences in the future? There's all kinds of criticism in life that is unwarranted, but this looks like constructive criticism to me.

There's an argument to be made for whether or not such a message should be handled internally or not, but maybe that path had already been tried. Donovan publicly blasted the entire team a year after the back-to-back run and kicked them out of their new facility. I doubt that was his first go at trying to get that team's attention.

Go GATORS!
