Further, a regulatory body that controls the availability of the labor is not a federal, local or state government.
OK… who’s that ?
the real reason this problem exists us because you don’t have a true marketplace.
True… but if Universities could pay athletes legally, would that not make a ‘market’ either within the restrictions of the ‘baseball rule’ or something similar or if there were no ‘restrictions’ ?
The is so great and the wage cap is so low
typo… What is so great? Supply or Demand ?
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!You’re right F83…
There ain’t no football players living in Alexander these days…
but then there are 30K+ students, not 8-12k ( the enrollment 72-76 ), so a lot of separation would have taken place anyway…The facilities thing is primarily based on it’s perceived value as a recruiting tool with some ‘KeepingUpWithTheJones’ mixed in… mostly for football…
Currently there’s a 1000 or more student non-athletes who are enrolled and getting paid to work jobs all over campus… Paying athletes to pay ball would not set any precedent except with respect to the pay rate…
Personally, I have no problem paying athletes legally as long as they are students in every sense of the word… the latter would mitigate the ‘separation’ thing…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!hey guys… don’t forget that the $MONEY$ in college sports is not all BAD MONEY….
1. The money sports — football & basketball — pay for all the other sports and for those student-athletes, that’s an important part of their educational support and their total college experience…. I’d had to see that go away…
2. As important, if not more, the University is a very diverse community and the money sports — football & basketball — are the only ‘tie that binds’ that community for a lifetime and across generations … and a school’s sport teams and their story can become one factor that defines the identity of the current student body.
This team is writing the proverbial ‘Underdog/NobodyGaveUsAChance/Cinderella/RagsToRiches’ story — there are some students on campus today, that are tapping into that in positive ways, who will think ‘Me too…’ and who will make a little extra effort, a little higher grade, ask the right girl out, because of this basketball team…
I’d really, really hate to lose that…
College Athletes need to be full members of the student community, which requires living on campus, sitting in some classes, hanging out in Carmichael, the Student Union, the Snack Bar in the off season — not paid and treated like Staff employees….
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Can I crash the party?

#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I also believe this pushes the NBA to move the their requirements to be much like baseball.
The ‘Baseball Rule’ — go pro straight from high school OR play a minimum of three years college ball — would in one step, going forward, solve a lot of problems…
Seems that the FBI should look at the NBA’s role in ShoeGate as closely, if not more so, than the NCAA’s….
For the FBI… Schools may be the small potatoes in this basket….That said, the FBI is not ‘interested’ in solutions, only ‘convictions’ to the extent the political landscape allows….
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!POP!!! is a sound regularly heard in the basement TV room at the SFN houseduring Wolfpack ballgames….
Back in the days when there were only three beers to choose from — Schlitz, Budweiser and Miller … We kept a Keg in the TV room… and everybody drank the same beer… and the House paid for the beer…
Nowadays, in the “Age of the Individual” and well over 100 good beers to choose from at the local store, the keg box has long been dry… and it’s bring your own cold beer to the party….
The one thing that has not changed over the generations is that most Wolfpack Football and Basketball games require a modest sedative of some sort in order to preserve our long term sanity…
We also don’t have to replace the TV screen, as often….
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Stan Van Gundy goes OFF on the NCAA….

POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Still Coach K or Roy will finish third for COY voting behind Bennett (smash mouth wrestling coach) and the third best coach UNCW ever had.
Are you sure about that?
Bennett’s got to beat us one more time to win the Conference and then again to win the Natty…… and then it still all depends on when the ‘votes’ are cast…
Good night Gents!
