Cant wait till the championships and a wrestler that has a bunch of NIL deals wins then starts rattling off sponsors like he's a Nascar driver. Going to sound funny if it happens... lolNot true*
I know of one (other than Gable) wrestler that has a 6 figure deal, and I know of another wrestler who's NILs will total in the 6 figures.
For context, the first time was when Suriano broke his ankle but he's coming back for nationals.For me, this is the all time funniest gif when Jefe posted it for the first time. Others have come close but no cigar yet...
Well. The NCAA tried to make a clean and fair system. The courts determined that the NCAA exceeded its authority. So now Congress is the logical group to make a law, if they care enough. But it’s not as if Congress’s law would be great, and it’s not as if Congress would’ve had any incentive to make a law back when the NCAA was still allegedly in charge. Congress can’t even prevent monopolies and unfair competition well enough in the regular economy, so they’re unlikely to do a good job in the world of sports, and unlikely to be eager to start trying.This whole situation is a giant clusterf&&k because of the NCAA and lack of leadership. Then you have three more entities that talk like they have the best interests of the athlete at heart. The U.S. Congress, state legislatures, and then....the universities. What could possibly go wrong. The Congress should have made a simple, ha, ha, ha, level playing field by law. It was the only way to keep a clean and fair system. Now we end up having 50 states with 50 different laws. Fking genius.

No doubt, it will probably always be a sh&t show. But it's not like Emmert has a clue what he's doing.Well. The NCAA tried to make a clean and fair system.

Pretty sure Congress and the NCAA could “ f”ck up a 1 car funeral”. UghNo doubt, it will probably always be a sh&t show. But it's not like Emmert has a clue what he's doing.
FYI, OT Roye just committed to Penn State.

Crawling under a rock.What should Emmert/NCAA be doing?
I'll stick with this. Fact is, they should have handled this years ago as soon as the first case on likeness was lost.Crawling under a rock.
Yeah and that's even if the car was a Hearse!Pretty sure Congress and the NCAA could “ f”ck up a 1 car funeral”. Ugh
I think the NCAA began in an era where the idea of amateurism was plausible, and the tradeoff between the entertainment athletes were providing and the opportunities they were getting (scholarships and visibility) made some economic sense. Then, as entertainment changed, and numerous institutions rose to nurture and feed off what was becoming an increasingly profitable ecosystem, it became practically impossible, and unseemly, to deny students to feed off the same system for which they were the lifeblood. Protections and regulations in the name of keeping things "clean" started to look more and more like self interest.Well. The NCAA tried to make a clean and fair system.

So the NCAA couldn’t hoard those IP rights. The hoarding of those rights was beyond their authority?… So it's not really that the NCAA exceeded its authority so much as improved economic conditions gave rise to intellectual property issues and rights … And the courts said that the NCAA couldn't hoard those …
Well, my point wasn't to make what you said wrong, it was to provide some nuance, because decades prior there would have been no issue with the NCAA's authority to prohibit NIL deals in the name of preserving and promoting amateurism. Then conditions around them changed. But if you want to right, then sure, you're right.So the NCAA couldn’t hoard those IP rights. The hoarding of those rights was beyond their authority?
Oftentimes when writers say ”no, actually …”, they should have said “yes, in particular …”.
It’s not [mainly] about my being right. It’s about precision and elegance in your expression [and consequently not falsely/unnecessarily saying somebody is wrong] . If you want to provide nuance, the better way is to say “yes, and in particular …” or similar.Well, my point wasn't to make what you said wrong, it was to provide some nuance, …. But if you want to right, then sure, you're right.
Right about now, it seems about sensing vs intuitive personality types.It’s not about my being right. It’s about precision and elegance in your expression.
It’s not about sensing vs intuitive. It’s about eating 2 lunches. Hobbits forever!Right about now, it seems about sensing vs intuitive personality types.
Any chance we could relegate grammar police to the equivalent of the Gratuitous COVID dumpster fire thread?

There is literally no downside to saying it that better way. But if you like to say it your way, despite the inelegance of saying “it’s not that” to something that is literally correct, then go ahead.
If you have played with improv, you will know that “yes, and ...” is a magical, team-enhancing approach. And if you have worked with kids, you will know that “no” is a good way to rub people the wrong way and kill enthusiasm. If you want to be a good leader, you should adjust your communication style to, at a minimum, not say “no” when it is literally incorrect to say “no”.
Huh? What do you mean? Are you trying to get me to lecture you on the evils of vagueness? Because I can give you 700 words on that.i love that in your first sentence you do exactly what you admonished him for doing.
