The New Reality is Now Upon Us

It's all because of that POS NCAA president and his merry gang of grifters.

 

Should colleges drop all sports other than football and perhaps basketball?

 

they won't strike, but what I'm saying is the fans

they should fund themselves like they do in highschool or better yet the multitude of colleges that dont have football yet have sports programs. How did it become football's responsibility

 

They stopped kneeling.

 

Those merry grifters!

 

Fans always come back it seems.

 

Because it allows the law firm of Shark Sheyster & Shark to ask for a huge pool of money that they get a percentage of all at once while the actual victims usually end up with very little.

 

Only in America. We arent perfect, just the best.

 

A home run show that benefited MLB, providing a massive windfall to the owners, the networks and everyone associated with the game and when it was over they threw McGuire over the side of the boat. The man deserves to be in the HOF, along with (even though I don’t like him) Barry Bonds and Roger Clements.

 

All cheaters. Just because they allowed them to cheat doesnt make it ok. Hank is still the hr champ in my book.

 

That's a tough topic for me personally. I was so enthralled with the whole home run record chase, but, when it became obvious that it was really a steroid arms race, that bothered me a lot. I'm okay with Pete Rose getting into the hall of fame because his mistakes didn't make him play better. But, steroids did make the other guys better. Records in baseball are a sacred thing and the PED era has destroyed that. I would still vote to keep those steroid guys out of the HOF (if I had a vote).

 

And, Roger.

 

Just the opposite IMO. Spin-off Football and Basketball, keep the rest.

 

When the NCAA releases any statement like this:
"the NCAA said in a statement Wednesday. 'The NCAA is moving forward with implementing the settlement injunction to deliver this massive win for student-athletes.'"
you can bet that they smell the money and that some (a lot?) college athletes are about to get royally screwed over.

 

IMO, Title IX seems to dictate you need some women's sports teams to balance men's teams on an equitable basis. I can see keeping men's football baseball basketball and track, along with women's softball, soccer, track and maybe one other sport to make it equal. i don't think we can support all teams and be able to keep competitive teams in the major sports if we keep all teams. Sports like gymnastics, golf, tennis, etc which don't bring in money would be difficult to support on an equitable basis.

It would have helped if they allowed an unequitable distribution of money to the athletes based upon revenues to the school generated by the sport.
