lol lord no

eulogy's got his fingers in his ears singin

"Rally sons of Notre Dame:
Sing her glory and sound her fame..."

an argument for athletic scholarships is laughable at best

i wonder if any dudes got athletic scholarships to the uinversity of paris or cambridge

or fucking harvard!

holy shit that's not what i'm saying at all. the fact that more athletes receive more attention is fucked up, and is inconsistent with the real, actual purpose of any university.

you're approaching corganist levels of contrarianism here

well, not necessarily. the time commitment required of a D1 athlete, even in a non-revenue sport, is massive. that's why they get the attention.

20 hours a week.

what a commitment.

oh come on. you're saying that thinking of college athletics as anything other than evil is wrong. i don't think i'm insane for taking another angle.

and remember i think they need to be compensated.

nobody would ever violate that rule though

says who?

ah i guess that is a rule. w/e man. i don't hate college athletics.

...and that's 20 hours/week more than a non-athlete. so again, offering tutors doesn't seem too egregious.

this is about to venture in a discussion of class inequality that i don't have the energy for right now.

there i go, bringing class into it again.

but that's what it's all about.

i thought it was sex

nah its class

i really think i should look into immigrating

to hipinion?

by the way a knockout tournament with 4 teams is laughably inadequate for determining a true victor,no matter what the sport is.

Better than two.

Eight will happen and it will be fine.

thanks off topic man.


obviously for you, don't try to be funny.


technically you can't get a degree in football, but the sport can pay off for those so inclined to stick with it.

Yes sticking with it is the only prerequisite for being a financially successful football player.

You fucking moron.

look dude it's fuckin simple, if you are good at stuff you win and are successful in life and if you quit you're a liberal

Let's all meet up somewhere and play Ping Pong.

Table Tennis.

Netphoria Paddleball.

im down

You made no distinction with your comment about a degree in Football. There are a ton of jobs associated with the game and all I'm saying is if one wants to be involved with it after their playing days, they can and can make a living at it. Hence, the 'fraternity' of football is there to make those connections.

i think you mean a cabal
