Jesus, this is amateur hour. Even the NCAA now knows that it’s bad business to starve people and then expect to profit from their physical labor.

why in the world is that a felony?

Yeah sorry but that’s not an ejection. Incidental contact on someone who fell into him.

Maybe not but we could have CRUSHED Tom Sawyer.

Possibly pedantic question: Most of the coverage of Mixon and Brantley has combined their crimes with players who have committed domestic violence against wife/lover. Is that fair? Assault on a stranger isn’t the same as domestic violence, after all.

You seem to be confused. A deferral does not mean that you don’t have to serve, it means you don’t have to serve *immediately*. Robinette was going to serve those two years, but it is common for the military to wait until your athletic career is over for you to serve them, because the early years of your career are…

I can’t wait to see what ESPN’s NHL reporters to have to say about this.

i believe that is known as “being high”

This guy has an estimated net worth of around $50,000,000 and he thinks he already has brain damage from his job but thinks he just has to accept it instead of retiring.

With any luck, he’ll soon forget which team he played for.

Next up was Jom Tomsula, who gave the Pope a used pool skimmer and a box of Hamburger Helper.

Superweird how the student-athlete model precludes any possibility of the student-athlete deriving any income from his athletic abilities, or notoriety, or in some cases any additional income at all, through any conceivable revenue stream. This is traditionally NOT the case with the student-musician, student-actor,…

“would get in the way of them being students first and foremost, and athletes second.”

I’ll have to remember these words of wisdom from the Ohio State and Stanford presidents tomorrow night when I’m watching Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore of Ohio State and Christian McCaffrey and Solomon Thomas of Stanford each…

In fairness they should probably pay their adjuncts more than you might an indentured servant, but yes, after that the players should get their cut too.

I hope you don’t get an endless parade of “what does this have to do with cars” comments, because this is the kind of quality longform journalism which I love to see on Jalopnik. Thanks, Ryan.

KRAFTWERK

Goodell wringing his hands about gambling is like Trump bragging how much he cares for the environment.

The idea that the serpent in the Garden is Satan is, at best, a highly-questionable reading of that story by certain Christians. I doubt there’s a practicing Jew on the planet who thinks that the serpent was anything but a serpent.

Wait.

How is a dude named “Caleb Brantley” not a white guy?
