This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I get that people hate some are getting big bucks off ‘free’ labor but I think the school is a big part of their popularity due to built in fan base of Alumni. Most don’t know who these kids are coming out of high school but school gives them a platform.....i think that should buy the school maybe a year or two of service but I think when a kid has a standout Freshman or Sophomore year, that is when people feel the pendulum swings and school is getting more from player. They should be able to cash in at next level.
Unfortunately, there are kids that are good popular college football players that won’t get a chance to cash in but those are likely the ones that don’t care.
Isn’t the outcry less on basketball side with one and done? Or has everyone just accepted that they are getting paid by agents and sponsors?
