Hey - John Heilemann nailed the Sarah Palin schizo thing. He’s on it..

It was part of a cache of newsreels from the Canadian Yukon that were at one point used to fill in a swimming pool that was being converted into a hockey rink

“The defensive player has to allow for the offensive player in the crease remove themselves.”

You’re pretzeling yourself on this one, Bernyenko.

‘Member what your parents hopefully told you, Bernyenko - “there are starving children across the third world who would gladly feast on that for a week.”

Not at all. The people better than “mediocre at sports” ARE being justly “rewarded for the money they bring into a school” - with free tuition, room-and-board, unlimited tutoring, training facilities, clothing, marketing, etc.

“The kids playing football and basketball” didn’t “get a job with the university”. They accepted an agreement in which the university provided services and “great fringe benefits” in return for their participation in sports. They weren’t forced to accept the agreement, if they felt they were being exploited.

Are you serious? I was “a powerless 18 year old in the face of a large moneymaking endeavor run by adults” WITHOUT free tuition, room-and-board, unlimited tutoring, training facilities, clothing, marketing, etc. How did I get through it? I got a job and paid for it.

Let me know when ANY of these kids are forced to accept an agreement in which they feel they’re being exploited. Most of the rules regarding NCAA athletics were written in our lifetimes ...

Nope - you’re wrong. It IS - however - an EXCELLENT argument for deemphasizing college sports in general, and focusing limited resources on education and not “sports”.

Certainly, it’s practical. If they consider free tuition, room-and-board, unlimited tutoring/academic assistance, training programs, clothing, media exposure, etc. to be “working for free” thy simply opt out. It isn’t the responsibility of higher education to provide a minor league for wanna-be professional athletes.
