Hey MaxBuck, if you go to Canada state next year I'll pay you $500 per signed twinkie wrapper.MaxBuck;1934576; said:There's no such thing as "overpaying" if you permit the market to dictate pricing - the value is whatever the purchaser is willing to pay.
As for money-laundering, I'm not quite sure what you mean.
The memorabilia is money-laundering the money gifts to the player.here's no such thing as "overpaying" if you permit the market to dictate pricing - the value is whatever the purchaser is willing to pay.
This is really a non sequitur. If Joe Booster is willing to pay $5,000 for a pair of Terrelle's socks, he's willing to pay $5,000 for a pair of Terrelle's socks. It may be because he really likes Terrelle, or he may need a pair of socks, or he may have some really creepy motivation. Doesn't matter why.jwinslow;1934585; said:The memorabilia is money-laundering the money gifts to the player.
No need to give him an envelope of cash, just buy one of his items to make it "legal" and pay handsomely for it, even though he and his teammates have flooded the market with those items which should have killed their sale value.
The market dictates that player X's game worn socks are only worth $50 because of all of the players trading them in, but Booster Joe pays $500-1000 for them, since you're allowing the purchaser to pay whatever he is willing to pay.
What types of money gifts are you against for players?You're taking the position that an "envelope full of cash" is necessarily a bad thing, while I really see little problem with it. If a player is good enough, let him get the coin.
None. Again, I see the market as being the proper mechanism for players to get more cash. Bigger stars will get more coin.jwinslow;1934589; said:What types of money gifts are you against for players?

If a Stanford education is of higher value than say...a degree from Central Michigan...then why wouldn't Central Michigan be allowed to "even the playing field", since that seems to be what the NCAA is after?

Then again what do they know about rockin' full sleeves, blingin' in gucci and rollin' a new ride twice a year.
So was their new track facility... and... pretty much the entire athletic department. I doubt ORD will let that get in the way of his anger at the situation though.BUCKYLE;1938815; said:No shit?!
Of course they do. Their schollies are funded by the football team.
