Make education free, make all college sports intramural, pay faculty (the product, ostensibly) well. Be a civilized society. This ain't impossible

They should put Durkin’s superiors on leave (fire them) also. No way they didn’t know about the toxicity of the program and in the remote chance they didn’t know, their ignorance is still inexcusable.

One of the many fucked up things from the article is the coaches calling players they didn’t think were good “thieves” for being on scholarship. How ironic is that coming from 6 and seven figure salary guys coaching (at a public university mind you) kids that have to practice all the time, are broke, and were pledged s…

Forget throwing them out on their ass! They should be getting thrown in jail!

What about being a President of the United States in 2018?

As a Maryland fan, I’d be fine if they just pulled the plug on this program. Fuck this shit. Let the players keep their scholarships if they want, or give them an extra year of eligibility and the opportunity to transfer. Who even wants to watch another Maryland game after this bullshit (well...who wanted to watch…

Maryland will probably just stick their heads inside their bodies and wait for the threat to go away.

Huh, the NCAA seems a lot more concerned with protecting student athletes from being paid than protecting them from being abused by staff.

It’s a shame, heard he was really hoping to get a chance to play in Thailand instead.

You must be fun at parties. I’ve organized all my life and the only times violence was used was by MANAGEMENT...

Hi Lowell Jackson, I have an offer to make you: I’ll give you what’s almost certainly your last chance to fulfill your lifelong dream of being in the major fucking leagues, while quadrupling your salary, if you cross the picket line. Your only other option is to barely make ends meet in the minor leagues for a couple…

Fucking with his gear is bullying, full stop. They’re under no obligation to be friends with him but I draw the line at active cruelty.

I must confess, I’m torn.

He’s too old to play, so he’s reliant on shoe sales for his continued millions. He’s not going to risk hurting his brand, is my guess.

If Johnny keeps sucking like this he’s going to be sent back down to the Browns.

It’s pure bullshit isn’t it? I’ve known several abused women whose husbands/boyfriends had bizarrely specific guidelines about what constituted abuse. According to these various men, none of the following constitute abuse: shoving someone into a wall, pinning your wife face-down on a bed so she can’t breathe, hitting…

JFC, his signature is just his first name in block caps? What a prick.

Ah, the old “I choked her to protect myself” defense. Okay.
