Condoleezza Rice on paying players

Indy Coug Misunderstood

The problem isn't the bulk of the players, it lies with the

Yeah, but do you only pay the superstar?

You let them go pro without having to go to college and cut them out altogether

I don't see any situation in which that would 'help' the NCAA

Have fewer stars, more "student"-athletes, and greater parity.

fewer stars is VERY bad for sports btw

I would dissent from your opinion for college teams. Then again, I prefer teams

100% agree, not to mention the value of the actual cost of education any given year is not reflected in tuition

And your student loan payments probably double the total loan amount

Condi for Prez - seriously....

She'd be awesome.

This quote would be great 30 years ago.

That’s a good reason to revisit the concept of student first with real degrees

Are athletics, as a whole, money makers for all universities? Not even close.

ManicBlue

4/25/18 2:03pm

Does she give reasons why paying players will hurt the college model?

Blue Cat

Can you imagine the escalation in the bidding war which would ensue if they started paying players?

Indy Coug

4/25/18 12:26pm

I don't think any player debates between Duke and Wichita State like that.

Jeremy

4/25/18 12:36pm

Yeah, simple solution right there.

Indy Coug

4/25/18 12:38pm

But the market includes gov't entities shielded from market consequences some

rcbyufan

4/25/18 12:43pm

In what world would Wichita State ever be able to offer a player higher compensation than Duke?

SierraCoug

4/25/18 1:10pm

In a world where money comes out of thin air and no budgets exist

Indy Coug

The U.S. government?

rcbyufan

In the Koch Brothers world.

Blue Cat

4/25/18 1:24pm

All the reasons you give is why players should get paid.

Blue Cat

4/25/18 1:05pm

I'm saying it's naive to think paying players makes these problems any better

Indy Coug

4/25/18 1:09pm

Actually, it's naive to think it will be worse.

Blue Cat

The fact that a bidding war could happen is enough evidence that players are

The NBA absolutely needs to stop using the NCAA as the minor leagues. The rise of the G-League

College degrees are decreasing in value and utility every year

GeraldGarner

4/25/18 12:22pm

So?

Indy Coug

4/25/18 12:27pm

IMO, college degrees are grossly overpriced and the long-term inflation rate of secondary education

Indy Coug

4/25/18 1:10pm

Depends on the school and the degree program. And it is mostly due to liberal arts degrees devaluing everything.

Link?

What do you mean Link? That's an objective, universally accepted truth.

She gets it. A lot of media morons clamoring for paying players do not.
