Re: Revisiting covid Nazi wrongs

I'm curious now that the TX doctor beat fda on invermectin case, do you covid Nazis feel he should have won? You were wrong about so much. Good luck getting that admission. :rofl: I wonder how many of them have said "medical decisions should be between patients and doctor not politicians"...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

I think Carson will be pushing hard for starting job.

Re: Sawvel to open up practice

Peas is a high character tough kid that played his heart out. He was the best qb in the room. I don't believe Bohl sat the qb that gave the best chance to win. Svoboda has a strong arm but cfb is littered with big arms that didn't work. Maybe he is JA 2.0 and Bohl was holding him back. Maybe Bohl wa...

My enthusiasm is dampened by the fact he couldn't beat out Peas.

Re: How to End NIL?

I wonder if there are rules in pro sports? Would it be possible for nfl fans to pay a collective not associated with the team and the collective paid players? There are rules under the collective bargaining agreements. Which is why the establishment of employment status and labor unions might be on...

Re: How to End NIL?

The NIL genie is out of the bottle. In some form, paying athletes is now part of the bargain. My guess is that the demand for more money accelerates, with calls for media rights sharing, etc. With Title IX, there will be legal requirements to elevate women's equity in the pay scheme, which will onl...

Re: How to End NIL?

As long as there is sufficient separation of collectives and universities, title ix is a non-issue. Sufficient separation of these 2 will happen. The rest is wishful thinking by fans of the havenots.

Saw a great quote on this. Lawsuits will only define the boundaries of collectives. By then they'll know how to operate.

Re: How to End NIL?

Define working closely with and how they are preferentially favoring men other than marketplace value. Men in non-revenue sports have the same value as women. It's free market. It might destroy but it's free market. The one thing they could do is put college back in athletics. Increase the academic...

Re: How to End NIL?

It's not a title ix issue. Just because football dominates revenue doesn't mean it's unjust. It just means it has a market. In many cases, if football is removed, many sports would be dropped. Tiered athletics is probably the only answer or seperate football. It is a title ix issue if the universit...

Re: How to End NIL?

It's still free market enterprise. The only solution is some sort of structure that players agree to. I'm not sure that will be possible. Why would the players give anything up at this point? The courts have put the ball in their court and they have no motivation to give it up. Tiered football will...

Re: How to End NIL?

Yeah I agree. Why shouldn't athletes make money off their name and image? They have been getting screwed for decades with schools and the NCAA making gobs and gobs off money off them. If I was a student athlete and a local business wanted to have me in a commercial, why couldn't I be? It doesn't ha...

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305

Since we can't elevate, perhaps we'll be fortunate enough on the next round of realignment to be placed with peers in which we can be competitive with the top of the conference. Apparently reduction in competition is the only avenue forward. Who knows what will happen in the next 5+ years....but fo...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

What % of UW budget is untouchable or cannot be redirected to other expenditures? I don’t have the accounting from Office of State Lands and Investments. Pure guess is roughly around 30% of funds from Morrill Act lands. I’d argue that the constitutional provision must limit the legislature’s abilit...

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

Didn't you just say most of UW's money is from sources that aren't taxpayers and the money has to be spent at UW? If that's the case, what funding is the legislature threatening? Most of UW’s money is not from individual taxpayers. It’s from a combination of school lands, mineral royalties and mine...
