that's a hell of a lot of puke ya got there.

its the worst part of the tourney

Oh, wait, that wouldn't help

I have to leave it on CBS - its time for KDKA News'n'At for Yinzers.

Yes, they actually have a local correspondant in Vatican City for the festivities....

:eyes:

:D
Man, I miss the 'Burgh...

they sent their token black reporter - dee thompson at WPXI never got it this good.

Big time.

Wha happon?

stupid cheesecloth montage following the hoops tourney.

soooooooooooo cheesy.

When in reality, it's a multi-billion dollar business, with only the coaches getting a piece of the pie.

wouldn't be able to either get into or pay for a piece of the pie? It beats the hell out of doing ROTC and then being killed overseas.

The scholarships those players get aren't even worth 1/10th the money that they bring the school.

At least baseball pays its minor leaguers.

The NFL and NBA on the other hand have a nice plantation system with the colleges.

interesting choice of words.

as it is, all the good players skip college or only go one year anymore...

The NFL already has one.

The purpose of these rules is to force them into college ball. No more, no less than that.

players are doing quite well

oh, nevermind.

RIP Chip.

It is ridiculous. My DH played football at a D3 school and he was not allowed to take a job making more than a certain amount of money during the school year, even though he was not on an athletic scholarship, just by virtue of the fact that he played sports...:wtf:

a quick history of the Oklahoma and Southern Methodist Universities football program may refresh your memory.

some bad apples ruin it for the lot....

but again, no scholarship....

that's the point - the lack of scholarship has nothing to do with except the fact that the person didnt feel compensated for what they gave up. this sounds like a matter of "its not fair...."

if he wanted to work so badly, quit sports; i had to quit so that i could go to the better school - it sucked, but i am glad i went to a nationally known school instead. life has tough decisions to make and they aren't all 'fair'

But he was earning money honestly, and if you knew the college he went to, I do not think there is a football booster among them...one of the worst football programs in the state. LOL

costs of a facts & circumstances review of the working situations would be prohibitive.

it's all pretty bunk - the rule is way overbroad, but since self-regulation failed and an appropriate NCAA regulation would be damn expensive, its what we are left with. But, i'll try to come up with an idea :-)

The fraud that is continually perpetrated in the name of the NCAA hurts those student athletes who are being forthright and honest, and it really needs to stop.
