@RyanSoccerAA What’s his contract details? Are the best available options even interested? I think he needs axed asap, but if there’s a large buyout and/or the best guys aren’t interested, I don’t know if it’s worth it this year. The bigger issue is the recruitment structure.
Dave: “Hello, caller, you are on the air.”
Caller: “I don’t think billionaires create value.”
Dave: “Okay. What do you mean by that?”
Caller: “Nobody can earn a billion dollars ethically.”
Dave: “Alright. What do you do for a living?”
Caller: “Well, before this, I was a bartender.”
Dave: “Nothing wrong with bartending. Honest work.”
Caller: “Right.”
Dave: “And now?”
Caller: “I work in government.”
Dave: “Okay. So let me get this straight. You're saying Elon Musk, who helped build PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, has made innovations like online payments, electric cars, rockets, and satellite internet possible, didn't earn his way to being a billionaire?"
Caller: “None of that justifies being a billionaire.”
Dave: “Well, sure sounds like value got created somewhere along the line.”
Caller: “I disagree.”
Dave: “What exactly did you build?”
Caller: “I advocate for economic justice.”
Dave: “No ma’am, I mean actual products.”
Caller: “…”
Dave: “You’re telling me the guy catching rockets mid-air created less value than a person who used to serve mojitos and now votes on spending his tax dollars?”
Caller: “That’s unfair.”
Dave: “What’s unfair is pretending markets are imaginary while cashing a government paycheck funded by the businesses you claim don’t create value.”
Caller: “I’m actually a congresswoman.”
Dave: “Oh Lord. Of course!"
@Adam_Jones94 Or why do we even have the manager? The recruitment model makes zero sense. The set up was embarrassingly ignorant. Was never going to work. You can’t tell me the recruitment team hasn’t identified FBs in 2 years? I like Moyes but his time is gone.
@VodorakPagina I actually do agree with that. But that’s the thing. There are rules but they aren’t and will not be enforced. So it’s a free for all. It’s a hot mess. Dabo isn’t clean but he’s probably the cleanest in the game. Either way, his complaining is just peeing in the wind.
@FamGymGolf Basically it’s this - What’s your goal? Is it to win games? Or coach the game “the right way” and help mold young men blah blah blah. If it’s to win games, like most programs, playing by the rules isn’t an option, unfortunately. It’s why your raising kids analogy doesn’t apply
@FamGymGolf Thats a noble goal to have. This game has never been fair. Ever. Before NIL and open transfers, it was underhanded cash and car deals. Look, as a born again Christian, I’m all for your defense. I wish every program was run that way. But that’s not reality.
@FamGymGolf Where do I even begin 😂😂… guys, this isn’t even remotely the same to that. If you want to play the moral high ground in this game, I’m all for it. I’ll respect the hell out of you. But you will be hot garbage. And that’s completely fine if being righteous is the goal.
@VodorakPagina But until that happens, nobody is going to play fair. Playing fair gets you beat in this game and will cost you your jobs.
Placing morality issues into a system that’s inherently morally corrupt is, how did you put it, “a dumb defense”
@VodorakPagina Correct. But this isn’t apples to apples. I said it isn’t right. Nor fair. He’s well within his right to play the game the right way. Difference is my wife would divorce me (rightfully so). The ncaa won’t do anything about this bc if they did, there wouldn’t be any programs left
@VodorakPagina I’m really trying to not to be condescending, because I get it… but do you guys really not think this through? The game has changed. Nobody, including Clemson is playing by the rules anymore. Sure, it would be swell if everybody did. And there absolutely needs to be rule changes
@VodorakPagina I’m all for ncaa to find a way to properly police this. This is minor league nfl. It’s not collegiate sports anymore. Except the rules haven’t followed suit. I don’t know a fix. Collegiate sports is a dumpster fire at the moment.
@SturgisSports And yes most programs absolutely tamper. And if you want to get into semantics about what’s worse than others then good luck ha and most certainly good luck to the ncaa if they attempt to do so
@SturgisSports That’s true… but it is what it is. If you don’t, it will cost you players and, ultimately, your job. À la Dabo. His failure to acquiesce to the times will ultimately cost him job.
Doesn’t make it right… or “fair”. Just reality, unfortunately.
