greg775 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Read this if you have time. It's time to pay the fricking players some money or split away from the NCAA!!! Give the football players some f***ing spending money. They are the ones doing all the real work!! Nice nice article. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/s...-host-of-issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's a fundamental argument. Fact of the matter is college players are getting for free what most people have to pay $75-250K, and that's a college education. That's a lot of value, but most guys don't use that. Alloting some of that money towards entrance fees and simply re-investing the money or giving it back to the students would be a far better idea. If they can knock even $1-2k per semester off tuition costs, it will free up that much more money for students that can be saved later on, and it will ultimately bring in more students as well.

Boogua Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 So it looks like Carlos Hyde is getting dismissed from the Ohio State football team and Bradley Roby was arrested yesterday morning. The Buckeyes chances of winning a title this year look like they might take a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, he should have been there right? The starting RB was dismissed, if anything thats a positive trait of Urban. Zero tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Charlie Weis cut a good line today at Media Day. Asked how he has managed to sign some decent recruits at horrific football program Kansas, he said something to the effect of: "they want to play. I tell them, 'Have you seen that pile of crap' out there? (on field for Kansas).'" Not bad in this day and age of P.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he was talking about the crap he took on the sideline because his rascal didn't move fast enough to get him to the locker room in time.

He hasnt been arrested yet, if he's charged with assaulting a woman he's toast. Zero tolerance on that. From what i'm told, thats exactly what happened.

Way to call out a bunch of college kids who weren't recruited by you, but now mostly have no choice but to play under you. Just when you think Weis can't be a larger horse's ass, he proves you wrong.

Well the point is it's something to think about it before you get intoxicated, like anything else related to being smart about drinking. Though I just got a great mental image of myself walking into Kilroy's and shouting at everyone, thanks for that. It would have been way more fun when it was smaller (Kilroy's has two levels now, they redid it in the Summer of 2010). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar where this incident happened, Dunnkirk, is a bar that the Prall family (who own Sports and KOK) opened up just before I graduated (Spring 2011). It's right at the corner of (you guessed it) Dunn and Kirkwood. It essentially replaced Uncle Fester's and the Jungle Room. Upstairs is still there, though.
