The joke is that the easy way to tell the difference is the Bama A has a mullet.

You win. I hate them.

Boom!

Could be wrong - but finally making them employees and signing employee contracts would seem to deal with this. Similar to coaches. Yes you can sign for 100k/year. But if you leave, then you owe a penalty for breaking contract.

But hey - then the onus would actually :gasp: fall on the universities to pay said players, which the rich commissioners, ADs, and coaches have been avoiding at all costs the entire time. Because it would cut into their riches. This is EVERYTHING the universities *ahem* the "NCAA" - have fought against...for a reason...

Meanwhile the fans continue to float both sides...

Universities can't even decide what to do about graduate student researchers and teaching assistants. They'll never be able to get around making an undergrad an employee for just being a student athlete. Grad students are students when it benefits the university for them NOT to be employees (insurance, work holiday benefits, etc) and they're employees when it benefits the university to claim them as employees.

Universities are money leaches and shell corporations. For example, if you're a professor they pay your salary. Unless you're part research, then you're expected to support your own salary by getting grant awards. Where portions of the grant go to your pocket (which I think you pay a higher tax rate for).

Doesn't stop there. Employees have to buy parking passes. Not only that, they don't own their offices or labs. They pay fees to rent their lab spaces and office. Leaches.

Imagine you own a restaurant and you charge your chef to park and use the kitchen. And he has to rent the knives, spatulas, pots and pans.

The one on top is a friendly hello

The one on bottom is a redneck not knowing how to wear a mullet giving you the finger

Ponytail imo. Just gave himself a prostate exam.

could be fun

I had a blast in Chapel Hill when I visited

We’ll spank them. My guess Vols in 35% of the stadium.

This is for basketball. UT fans won't take 35% of the seats in the Dean Dome.

Leaving academia was the best career decision I ever made. It was basically either be a dedicated father with a flexible life and good pay, or a stressed out and desperate grant-chasing serf. I miss the campus environment, but I don’t miss the grind at all.

terrible

Who were the players/recruits in article?

Ah oh well. Will still at least be a nice road win.

 

[Adam Sandler]

The empire is getting stronger yet! Chase who?

Aren't the identities of minors typically excluded?

 

[Vol423]

I originally thought it was for football as well. Then I realized that they don't do conference challenges in football. Had it been football, I think your 35% estimate would have been low.

 

[Orangeburst]

Good luck on your mission

Make no mistake. Our baseball team improved the last couple days.

As far as football, Friday is when the almost non stop fireworks for July kicks off.

I know of one P5 school that makes entire football staff pay for parking monthly.

I did a very quick search and nothing came up. Surely this has been discussed, right???

Birmingham is a dump

I can’t believe the SEC office is still In Birmingham. Terrible place

We decided to start a 3rd team all-American in the college World Series…. What was Tony thinking?

 

[Brillovol]

I’ll never understand Braves hate just because they’re in Georgia. Regionally, they’re the closest MLB team to the traditional SEC core, so most SEC fans are Braves fans, not just the leg humpers. It has zero affiliation with a rival team. It’s also in a destination city southerners over generations have visited. @Devo182 and @volbeast33 you have no arguments with any validity to refute these facts. Just admit you hate the Braves for the real reasons and not based on baseless facts. The map tells the real story, spatially.




Come at me.

Anyone played any of the golf courses in Steamboat Springs, CO? Going to be there in September for a week and right now looking at either Haymaker Golf Course or Rollingstone Ranch Golf Course.
