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

It’s not hard at all to buy followers from what little I know.

Heck, a quick Google search and I could add 100,000 “followers” to my social media page for around $500. I do that 50 times and now I’m Livvy Dunne (sorry fellas, no leotards here).

I’m sure top brands are running metrics analysis and bot-checkers to verify before they hand over sponsored dollars. I have my doubts anyone at the NCAA is prepared for these things.

And I highly doubt they are ready to take on the craziest bunch of people in the world - college football fans/boosters - who will do anything to test the limit and push boundaries.

I think if we get Lily Phillips involved we can get a lot more followers than that.

As a proud owner myself, can confirm you will enjoy. Especially if you're a breakfast guy. In the Fall when the weather cools you just drag the TV outside along with it and enjoy some Gameday and coffee while you cook.

I have a smoker, and electric smoker, a gas grill and a 36" Blackstone. Different cooks call for different tools. :wink: (The electric smoker is basically an outdoor oven now. Electric smoke sucks, compared to combustion smoke.)

Agree 100% Breakfast on the Blackstone is awesome... and... any time I need to season the thing, a pound of bacon does the trick and well... I get the bacon! ALSO - the Blackstone breaks down easy and can travel. Took it on vacation a couple years back... Cooking for 14 was a hell of a lot easier with all that surface area.

Cooking breakfast is high on my interest scale. Definitely seems more flexible than my grill.

This thread is for shenanigans and dildo jokes.
The other thread would be for punishments.
My theory is that the nerds who only want to check out the thread when it is updated assume that they will find some punishments, and get pissy when they just see us making fart sounds with our armpits.
This thread will remain unlocked, and we can continue to suggest that some of the cheaters deserve a barbed-wire enema.

But I thought we agreed that there would not be any shaming for dildo references.

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

Jaxbuck said:
It doesn't take a tremendous amount of insight to see this coming.

They have two basic ways to run this:
1) An employer/employee model that collectively bargains a deal together OR
2) A totally unregulated marketplace for talent (and by unregulated I mean the schools/teams aren't going to be able to collude to enforce salary caps etc)

The fact that an early horse out of the gate is going down the underrepresented female athlete track tell you that Title IX will be an insurmountable obstacle to making the Universities the "employer" model that works.

I continue to bang the same drum because it's just so plainly obvious. The sports teams need to be separate legal entities. There is your employer.
Susie soccer player can't sue anybody for shit if Columbus Sports Inc DBA Ohio State Buckeyes Football pays one of their employees more than she makes from someone else.

Just think of all the cash that they can make selling a non-controlling share of the team. Hey Mr. RichGuy, how would you like to be a part owner of the Buckeyes ....

What non-electric smoker do you have? I have an electric Masterbuilt that does a pretty good job.

Like when ESPN ranked 3 of their most iconic plays among the top 25 since 2000? Straight into my veins!

5. 'The Horror' | Sept. 1, 2007​

There have been major upsets in this sport, but few shook the earth like the day Appalachian State went into Michigan Stadium and stunned the winningest program of all time.

8. Surrender Cobra | Oct. 17, 2015​

The 2015 Michigan State-Michigan ending created a meme and popularized a phrase. The Wolverines led 23-21 with 10 seconds remaining. But punter Blake O'Neill muffed a low snap and Michigan State's Jalen Watts-Jackson scooped it up. He raced into the end zone as time expired, giving the Spartans the improbable comeback victory.

11. Clowney 'car wreck' | Jan. 1, 2013​

Clowney rumbled through Michigan's line untouched and met Smith, who was just receiving the ball. Smith's helmet and the ball went flying, and Clowney recovered. "It sounded like a car wreck," South Carolina defensive tackle J.T. Surratt said.

Not saying Jones was going to save the progrum by himself but it's symbolic. They don't get any good transfers and if you are now losing a 4 star kid from fargin Cleveland, that is a sign something is not right. Also a Hall of Fame level coach wanted the job and they chose Chris Holtmann's lead assistant over him

You say that, but have you considered Calipari wanted it at first, then found out OSU didn't want to invest in NIL at the right level? That ship sailed pretty quickly. IMO, most roads are leading back to the conclusion of NIL not being sufficient to make OSU a national power in men's basketball. Also, can't really blame OSU for Jones not qualifying academically - that's on the player moreso than the program.

Name, Image, & Likeness (NIL) at tOSU

ORD_Buckeye
So, the four sports that are getting revenue sharing are: football (no surprise), men's basketball (also no surprise), women's basketball (no surprise since that crap has been shoved down our throats for decades) and women's volleyball (da fuck?).

Men's hockey, which has roughly the same attendance as women's basketball but unlike women's basketball has actually made its Final Four twice in recent years, gets nothing. What a joke. I guess I'll have to enjoy a program that's been on the verge of winning a championship becoming the Miami of Ohio of the B1G.

Why women’s volleyball is among four teams splitting Ohio State’s NIL money in revenue sharing era

Ohio State is putting its $18 million in revenue sharing toward football, men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball. Why was volleyball selected? Here's the answer.
