@SpaceKoala Yeah the killdozer story is one of peak boomer entitlement. I don’t know why he’s worshipped when he was nothing more than an entitled POS.
@99coug It doesn’t require the formation of a college athletes union and doesn’t require collective bargaining. It takes any semblance of power out of the player’s hands and gives the NCAA unilateral power with the antitrust exemption. How is that a good thing for college sports?
@GrahamCoffeyDC They’re not valid while he’s pushing for a bill that doesn’t require a college athletes union or collective bargaining. All this is an attempt to remove all power from the players in college sports.
@DavidT64605874@andysparks78@JakeBequette91 The NFL players have a union that negotiates for them on matters like the salary cap. The Protect College Sports Act does not require a union and collective bargaining.
@andysparks78@SavingCFB@JakeBequette91 The issue is that the Protect College Sports Act that they’re trying to pass and is being defended online doesn’t require any union formation or collective bargaining and shifts all the power into the hands of the NCAA.
@andysparks78@SavingCFB@JakeBequette91 Kelly was paid 50mil for his buyout, Jimbo was paid 75mil for his, both by public schools. Then they should establish a college athlete union, go through collective bargaining, and establish a CBA with contracts instead of trying to bypass it and give the players no say/power
@andysparks78@SavingCFB@JakeBequette91 The public wouldn’t be paying anything but the revenue share that is allowed by the NCAA. NIL can’t be paid by the school. Also if it was about public school fiscal responsibility, where is the outcry to cap Coach pay, buyouts, and movement as well? Are private schools exempt?
@SavingCFB@andysparks78@JakeBequette91 Unless there’s the establishment of a college athlete union and collective bargaining so the players have to agree to a CBA, it’s just trying to limit how much athletes earn.
@andysparks78@JakeBequette91 No I’m not, I don’t think there should be any limit on what players make. Also NIL payments by NCAA rules can’t come directly from the school so the public isn’t paying anything. The only payments coming from the school would be revenue share payments.
@andysparks78@JakeBequette91 So there’s no limit on how much you can make, only a limit on what your employer is willing to pay you. Why shouldn’t college athletes be treated the same?
@andysparks78@JakeBequette91 There’s laws that limit how much auto manufacturing company managers make that are similar to the laws they’re trying to implement to limit how much college athletes can make?
@LNehls5@geoffschwartz The same reason coaches get their multimillion buyouts after getting fired for being mediocre. It’s part of the agreement between the school and the talent.
