The downward spiral continues. Not just the end of college football as we know it but the end of college sports as we know it. It was good while it lasted.

And they play shitty football....shouldn’t you have to be good to have any type of pull? What’s next, is the ACC going to make demands...bwahaha!So let them boycott , who really cares, they are in a world of their own, they have all the answers and none of the questions.
In my mind it was and I know I grew up with a Pollyannish view of college sports. But yeah, I grew up with JoePa as my role model and bought into his idea of we are all working to build something bigger than ourselves, support for Penn State, support for higher education. I bought into SuePa tutoring players to keep them eligible. I bought the whole thing and I know it was a rose colored view and it wasn't like that everywhere.was it?
Honest question. Is it common in labor disputes to demand that other people reduce their pay? Seems crazy to make demands that directly harm others.
I think we lost "college" football quite some time ago. I remember Beaver Stadium seating something like 55,000 and those seats were filled with students and grads. We now live in an age of corporate sponsors and many of the fans have no connection at all with Penn State other than football. It's a big pageant, sure- but is it "college" football or is it just another business?In my mind it was and I know I grew up with a Pollyannish view college sports.

But now it's just different. Maybe it's just me and I'm a little older and wiser. Seems like everyone is just lining up at the trough to get their piece of the pie, Board of Trustees, administration now players.
Maybe it is just me and I've wised up but I think things really have changed and not for the better. Call me an old crank.
Every time there is a change it’s an end to college football as we know it.

Maybe these guys should actually go to class and learn supply and demand.
Here's an example of what they're looking for. Taking Stanford's measly $44MM revenue for football, each scholarship player is demanding to be paid 259k dollars plus their scholarship.
I would be willing to bet there's 85 players that would be willing to play for "only" a Stanford football scholly.

internet tough guy thinks arguing on a message board is actual confrontationGoing to reply to the Butler thread, coward??
Simple, really...you either honor your scholarship, or you lose it. There are plenty of kids out there who will gladly take their places...maybe with slower 40 times, but so what?

Let college students play college sports. Let the NFL create its own minor league for kids that aren’t interested in a college education. I’m not kidding, either.
You would win your bet.Maybe these guys should actually go to class and learn supply and demand.

We can only hope. This has been a sham for 50 plus years.

Yeah, right...that’s what they “get”.But they are trying to build something better.... it's the athletes from the sport that people care about coming out to say "hey dole out some of the $$$$$$ our sport generates to the other sports that don't generate piles of money because guess what, those students are in need too" and also things like "maybe its time to cut down on the racist BS" oh and also "hey maybe making us play during a pandemic and then also making it so we have no recourse if we get Covid".
So it seems they very much are trying to build something better for all. There is way more to life then being able to win the big game, and these players seem to get that.
Like 2% of the players are playing for the NFL...the rest are playing college football for the education or the experience. Let’s not change everything for the extremely small percentage.Exactly. Time to return college sports to their true amateur status. Sports is supposed to be a part of the educational experience - it teaches life lessons that can be hard to come by elsewhere - teamwork, perseverance, how to set a goal and attain it, how to win with grace and lose with dignity. Let college students play college sports. Let the NFL create its own minor league for kids that aren’t interested in a college education. I’m not kidding, either.
Good for them. There is an army of individuals making millions off of them. Perhaps it is time for private business to step in on this sports business and return the schools to their main goal: education. If there is a better system out there, I hope we find it.
So how ya gonna prove they get Covid by playing football and not at the local strip joint?But they are trying to build something better.... it's the athletes from the sport that people care about coming out to say "hey dole out some of the $$$$$$ our sport generates to the other sports that don't generate piles of money because guess what, those students are in need too" and also things like "maybe its time to cut down on the racist BS" oh and also "hey maybe making us play during a pandemic and then also making it so we have no recourse if we get Covid".
