Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Login to view embedded media
This is not meant to be political. But how is limiting what one can earn not considered a form of socialism? If an adult is seen to be worth $5m/yr yet he's 19yo, how is it any different than a 50yo man who can be worth $5m/yr? Ive seen men in their 40s and 50s make mistakes with money just as I've seen men in their 20s make mistakes with money. And why is it anyone's business if they mess up the money that someone deemed worthy to pay them?

It sounds like a bunch of bitter middle aged and older men, who are envious that athletes at such young ages are able to earn as much if not more than their professional counterparts. Many are also envious that they couldn't earn similar amounts when they attended college

I'm just saying that these guys can have both. They can get the pussy while active as athletes without spending any money and if they have a bunch more money later it just expands the longevity of having lots of pussy options. When it comes to pussy, I think the short-term is a push between spending or saving/investing and the long term is better with saving/investing.
Let's be honest, they have money for both. Even a backup can make 6 figures and look like a baller in college. If say the backup TE for UK is getting $500k/yr, that gives him a lot of money to play with in Lexington and still have some leftover to invest. Ive known of girls in basketball making barely half of that and own stocks, set up a Roth IRA, have a real estate portfolio and invested in start ups. These kids aren't dumb jocks like fans are thinking. Social media has made people think that these kids are only buying range rovers and lambos.

C Christoph Tilly (Official Thread)

If that means we have Tilly at the 3 when Devin sits, I'd love it. That would be a large lineup but we need a couple guys to start being tough on the court. Maybe even a couple red assess.
Again with the roster as-is, I see Royal taking over the 3. Noel the main guy at the 4, but probably others Royal, Bynum and Tilly there depending on matchups and foul trouble. Ojianwuna and Tilly should basically be a platoon at the 5, with Bynum 3rd string & Ivan as emergency backup. Bynum probably would see most of his minutes at the 4. Tilly shouldn't be playing the 3 at all. I do think at the very least we will have a physically stronger frontcourt, although I must admit my expectations aren't for Tilly to be standing out in that area.

Earle Bruce (OSU HOF, CFB HOF, R.I.P.)

For all his faults I always feel like Earle was my coach. Just the age I was during his tenure I guess.

Cooper was something that was done to me.

Tress,Urban and Day are just coaches of my favorite team. Love them when they win but the only guy I like even at 9-3 was Earle.

A far worse coach than Cooper ever was. Cooper was hurt by the fact that he had to bring back the program from the utter disaster that Bruce left it in. Bruce should have been fired far sooner than he was.
