@heitner There’s a good point raised on length of time investment. Coaches are in this profession for decades and athletes are in it 1-4 years. Whose voice should hold more weight for guidance? The players who voluntarily play for a couple years or the coaches whose careers span decades?
@heath0310@LukeEasterling Independent labor representatives and college athlete associations. Not biased sources at all - both oppose the legislation because they are financially incentivized to. I get it.
@heath0310@LukeEasterling Google is your friend. Athletes have both testified and spoken at a press conference in DC. I don’t think they were coerced either lol
@SergeantMartee@RedLSX I could say the same for all those in opposition to it. Lawyers, agents, unions, etc. they see all the billable hours and financial incentives to make sure this never gets through. Profiting off the chaos. And you’re only seeing this through the lens of football and basketball.
@SergeantMartee@RedLSX No one begrudges a player leaving, that’s why they can leave once with no penalty and again under certain circumstances. Why the limits after that? Because you end up having a bunch of players with no degree and have prematurely peaked in their career.
@ben_nick_syder@Hurricane_Jay26 Cal is not God. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out? And if you don’t think Cal increases someone’s draft stock, you’re crazy!
@ed_waz For example, my home state of Texas didn’t send UT, A&M, Tech - it was Texas Southern. I don’t think the attempt of hearing the various stakeholders gets the credit it deserves.
