@whyneverme2006@ClayTravis I said the exact same thing last night. Biggest, strongest, fastest kids in Europe play soccer. In the U.S. they play football and basketball. In Europe, pro soccer is king. In U.S. it’s an afterthought for most.
@JezziiB You do realize that is his worth on paper! He does not have a trillion dollars nor is he going to make a trillion dollars in take home pay. So you propose to seize assets or ownership in his companies? Value immediately declines. You have a complete lack of financial knowledge.
@CrimsonCoverage They likely are, but they do nothing offensively to free up the shooter. No screen game. No high picks. Nothing! UF put on a masterclass yesterday in controlled offense with great spacing and crisp passing until they got a good look.
@CJMooreHoops I am a Bama fan who loves to win and loves college athletics, but if this forces the NCAA to put guardrails around the entire system then I am for NCAA. I don’t think Bama should be punished though and I don’t think NCAA will win. Players will likely appeal to Supreme Court.
@CoachJimmyDykes But…they also haven’t been student/athletes. A 22 year old playing competitively everyday and 18 year old straight out of HS, way different. This is an issue created by NCAA and exploited by Bama.
@thevolbros@ThornCraig@NCAA@AlabamaMBB I’m not saying I disagree with you, but do you not agree the NCAA allowed this to happen with Baylor kid being declared eligible after signing $1.1MM G-League contract. Also, do a study on how many 22-23 year old Euro players (pros) are currently on college rosters.
@thevolbros@ThornCraig@NCAA@AlabamaMBB Oats is just exploiting it to try and force NCAA’s hand. The NCAA painted themselves into a corner and they don’t know how to get out.
@thevolbros@ThornCraig@NCAA@AlabamaMBB I will note that Oats also said this was really brought on by NCAA allowing the Baylor kid to be eligible after signing G-League deal. People say it’s not the same, but how is it different than HS kid signing MLB contract? Kid forfeits eligibility. NCAA opened Pandora’s box.
