Seems weird when all I heard this week from the twitter experts who pay attention to college golf one week a year said the coaches were just getting in the way…..
Kirby Smart advocated for Olympic/non-revenue sports and spoke about the enrichment they provide to the university environment when asked if revenue sharing limits should be removed today at SEC Spring Meetings…
"It goes back to everybody's going to talk about pro sports and baseball and these teams and these teams that spend. I mean, we are like them, but we're not like them. So you can't make comparison because of the CBA and the regulatory agencies they have that govern theirs. They operate under a different premise. But we're becoming them. Our spending is rapidly becoming them.”
"Again, my biggest concern for our sport is we're going to ruin all the other sports. And people say, 'Well, that's just the way it is.' I don't agree with that because we fund Olympic sports with our program. We develop Olympians. We go to class with people that go throw a javelin. We go sit in class with an extra person that swims and dives. You learn culture by being with those people, but that's the assumption that we're talking about student-athletes, which most of y'all would argue in this room, that there is no student in the athlete. I still think the best thing for a young student is to go get a degree and train to be a professional while also training to be a professional athlete, both of those. We're going to lose that if we keep spending because not everybody can spend at the rate that we're spending."
@Hendrickson17 I understand where you’re coming from, but women’s college golfers love having logos on the back of their shirts like this. We’ve had at least one each of the past 2 years and they love it. Wouldn’t expect to see it on the men’s side, but the ladies love it and everyone has them.
