Recruiting Football Talk VII

[jave36]

If you want to argue a woman should get paid as much as her male counterpart show me the argument that supports that.

If you want to argue that a female should be paid the same revenue percentage as her male counterpart, then I can support that.

There are fixed costs to consider, but overall that's the direction the discussion should go.

I saw thus argument from a WNBA player once, and to me it makes a ton more sense.

My favorite Vol as a child. My cousin got him to sign a UT football for me for Christmas one year. Unfortunately Willie signed it in orange and despite being in a case it's faded to illegibility at this point.

Regardless he was a phenomenal athlete with an equally remarkable drive. If I remember correctly it wasn't too long ago that he was breaking most records for the fastest human documented over the age of 50.

The costs that exceed the current gross revenue of the league? Are those the costs you are talking about? Lol

Not to insult anyone either, but I really wish we could drop this idea of "Oh we can figure out what to pay by people by using some arbitrary X percentage of revenue". It's dumb. That is not at all how markets determine the cost of labor. A cateteria worker at Google HQ does not make 100000x the wages of a cateteria worker at an elementary school because Google's gross revenue is so much higher. That is not how any of this works.

I was merely saying net revenue after costs should be the base, not gross revenue.

No idea what point you're addressing.

Hope this turns out better than the last guy we hired from Cincinnati.

Sims mic’d up from a couple years back. I like his energy:

I live 20 minutes from Bank of America stafium but I’m actually considering just watching the vs NC State game from home.

Which is dumb because I happily drive 4 hours to watch games at neyland. But games hit different at neyland. I was at BoA when we lost to WVU and it felt….. meh.

WVU fans out numbered us probably 3 to 1. And I imagine it’ll be mostly NC State fans there in Charlotte.

idk….

If you go, there is one more UT fan cheering on the team. If you don't go, there is at least one less UT fan cheering on the Vols and possibly a NC State fan cheering against them.

RB coach hire looks solid with a good resume!

 

[Weezer]

Thought we were in on some bigger names? Wondering if money/salary came into play? Hopefully this guy can recruit.

Worry Circle, assemble!

Considering who we just lost this is a great hire. If anyone is worried about his recruiting he was at Louisville and Cincinnati lol come on now. At Tennessee he will recruit just fine.
