There are 250,000 jobs available on a Tennessee job board. Only 8,500 of those jobs pay $20,000 or more. Still think there’s a “worker shortage”?

[FoxNashville @FOXNashville]

TN UNEMPLOYMENT: Only 3% of the jobs posted on Tennessee's website pay $20,000 or more. The federal poverty line for a family of three is just under $22,000. https://t.co/X5grnejrl1

Wait....wait...wait...What happened to, "No one wants to work"????? Are those who continue that trope misinformed, out of touch, or attempting to pass along a false narrative for some other reason? Hmmm....

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@AlecKinsky What? No no no. I cannot believe this

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@CoachHallNTF Glad you enjoyed, Coach! Had fun making for you!!

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@CoachHallNTF Speaking of great NTF athletes...

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@CoachHallNTF @Nick_Calathes15 @ChandlerParsons Thanks, Coach! You've been there since the start...when we were in the portables at FHS!! haha

@RobertBolandESQ My feeling is NCAA was, at one time, hoping to get something passed similar to the way Minor League Baseball deal got done. Many see these issues (Comp & NIL/Pay) as an issue owned & exacerbated by Emmert & NCAA and expect them to find a way out after ignoring it for decades

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@RobertBolandESQ It's true they may not support collective bargaining , but with some coaches, like Geno Auriema, now calling for it perhaps they will be swayed?

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@RobertBolandESQ @Fla_Pol I really don't think this issue hinges on the election. Without Chevron, it's up to Congress. Whatever/Whenever they act, the courts will get involved. The NCAA typically loses and the Supremes have heavily favored the athletes in their previous decisions. The path is set

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@StadiumShadow Well, I work in labor relations, so, I know a little something as well

Like this, for instance... https://t.co/U0pYFxIHAq

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@StadiumShadow There is simply no way that this election will tip the scales of athlete pay in the NCAA. Many high profile coaches are already referring to them as "employees." My guess is this article is written to influence an election rather raise a substantial issue

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@StadiumShadow That's my point. Who hasn't successfully sued the NCAA? Even I earned money as part of the Restricted Earnings Coach class action suit from the 80's. See, it's not just the players who the NCAA has been losing comp lawsuits to over the years

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@RBR_Daily Two veteran drivers whose teams are seemingly satisfied with their mediocre results are telling a young and hungry kid who's fighting for his professional life to not race them so hard. LOL Fight on Liam!!

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@RBR_Daily I thought these guys were race care drivers, no? That's why it's way more fun to be a Ferrari or Merc fan

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

That's special...

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@MarkJonesESPN LOL Did you really say that, Mark?? That is hilarious 🤣

[Tom Topping @TomToppingNTF]

@SkySportsF1 There is no doubt that this kind of thinking is exactly what went on behind the scenes when he was in charge at Ferrari haha
