What? How are stipends in any way related to kids getting paid for THEIR OWN LIKENESS?! And why are you so passionate about making sure bureaucrats and school administrators keep all the money and the players only get paid on a barter system?

I’m sorry if you can’t see a stack up issue where advocates build up from one issue to the next with a “whoa is me” emotional response. I’ll throw up Title IX as another example of issues that started with a smaller issue and bloated into something totally different.

As far a bureaucrats and administrators, hell no, I’ve also said before why does the solution need to be making college athletes professionals, why don’t we address the admin profiteers instead? That’s why I’ve also said going to a private club model would be preferable at this point.

Three International Space Station astronauts returned via a night time water landing a few weeks ago. One of the astronauts, Shannon Walker, was asked about the restaurant onboard ISS. She winked at one of the reports and said, "The food is actually really great................but there's no damn atmosphere.

Hubbs and Price on the Midday 180/Outkick 360 mentioned Henry T has never gone through a college Spring practice.....that’s like 40 something practices!

Also, in listening to them I believe any school that takes him is playing with fire. The talent does not outweigh the drama IMO.

It’s a story for a lot of kids across country though to. This was first spring for a lot of kids.

Crouch is same way and IMO even more critical that he missed because he really needed to continue to reshape his body. Our new strength program probably would have been ideal for what he needs too.

Wasn’t it Barnett who never went through a spring because he was always having shoulder surgery in offseason? Kyle Phillips also never had a spring until his sr yr and it showed.

They didn't have spring last year and he wasn't an early enrollee.... this would have been his first opportunity for a spring.

Absolutely! But that shows you how far behind he is other people in his class.

And also, why wasn’t he an EE? Did he not want to be because he wanted to be at home around his family? If so, that fits the concerning narrative Hubbs and Price were sharing....he almost left and/or didn’t come back to Knoxville 3 different times while at TN because he was homesick.
