Yeah I think we all understand this system is completely f*cked but while we sit around complaining about it other schools are raising millions. If we want to stick around in the next round of realignment and be competitive stuff like supporting We Will is what needs to be done.
Naturally he wont donate, because then he can claim CMC has started to rot
I think we will either have an elite conference or complete sharing will be lead by the blue bloods. I don’t think they like the SMUs of the world crashing their party with “new” money. Some new power schools might get big donors pay for big players that the BBs normally would get. So they will look to stop it by either breaking away or getting the donors away from buying players for new blood schools.
You think "we're headed that way" with regard to conferences sharing revenue? Like the SEC is going to share media revenue with another conference?
No I think there will be some sort of compensation by conferences to athletes.
In reality we all pay for pro athletes. TV revenue is paid by advertisers who pass the cost along to the buyers of their products. It is a more direct payment with college, but fans are paying for pro sports. A lot of non-fans pay for pro sports.
Good luck with that request and I agree with you. It is outrageous that the universities that want everyone to succeed, no hurt feelings for everyone, and days off for stress want unabashed capitalism for their athletic departments. I give to WeWill, but as a whole, our universities are hypocrites on this topic.
Great point. We need the SMU's of the world to step. Only when they succeed will their be adjustments. Alabama and Auburn are scared to death of UT and A&M. They have always cheated at the $10-$20,000 payments. That chump change for the Texas crowd.
Please write a white paper on why u you don't give. In general, everyone agrees with you. But some of us, thank goodness, still want to play ball.
That announcement will be part of our big splash as part of the dollars matched by donors during the Texas game, so the beer you drink this weekend will be double the impact!
No putting it back. Unabashed capitalism from the very entities that tell us this is wrong. I see two avenues for a correction: Congress gets involved, which is unlikely and when a school like Harvard, et al, truly buys a football or basketball title.
