  1. not necessarily. sort of. knew a guy who was from a country outside of the US. the athlete was not in a popular sport (baseball, football, basketball). an alumnus from the same overseas village as the athlete would give him money and presents regularly. another, was a woman who played the same sport as the athlete 30 years before and had enough money to assist the student athlete with just a little bit, probably guessing it was less than $500/month for lunches and "dinner dates."
  2. nobody but the athletes and their familes who compete in the events
  3. Evans won't leave TB. And if he does it'll be somewhere who will overpay. If I'm AZ I go hard after him. Evans plus MHJ would be amazing for Murray or whoever is next.
  4. Small school boosters support more than you realize. Maybe not as much money or to as many players but I've known of few small school dudes who got some nice kickbacks.
  5. those backup LB's may not be getting NIL deals now or anything specific. however, just 10-20 years ago they would be getting rental cars in someone elses name if they were at all decent or had a chance to impact the program in a year or two. they would be getting perks at local restaurants, bars, movie theatres, etc. i know 1 player of a division 1 school that got a new rental car every two weeks or so provided by a booster. he went to almost all of his classes and was a top academic performer. this athlete was responsible for taking recruits on tours, which also gave him access to money set aside for them - his meal card always was overflowing. the guy was a backup most of his career and never went pro. by his guess he was able to pull in $20k a year from these perks.
  6. your assumption is grossly wrong 🤪. and taking about 50 years ago as experience is grossly different than just 15-20 years ago. i played in a division 1 sport at a MAC school in the early 00's briefly (about 4 months). I was burned out and quit having been playing athletic competitive sports since 8 or 9 years old. i participated with 3 world class athletes on my team and associated with at least 3 future nfl players i can think of on the top of my head. Your personal views and my personal views were much different and we will have to agree to disagree.
  7. Exactly. It is about the individual. Not the sport. Sports will die. Wrestling, track, many men's sports have been destroyed already (title ix bull####). The individual will prosper if he can be a solid superstar. But the poor kid who is just good enough to get out of the slums to get a half ride playing 3rd TE on FAU, or the kid who busted his ass for grades and sports to be 7th man on the bench at Memphis... They're not going to make money but I sure as ***** know they appreciate the education and scholarships. I think, beyond these athletes being taxed appropriately, they need to surrender their scholarship for collecting nil.
  8. I work for a German company. Those meetings are insane. We have meetings planning meetings. And teams to focus meetings.
  9. Who loves ya baby? Rip. Loved his show. The media need someone like him with a set of balls on the radio. The afternoon show is a complete joke of cucks.
  10. Education, free meals, free living, tutors and aid to learn, clothes, health management, connections in business/life through boosters and such. And there is still the illegal ***** they got
  11. They can choose to do that. But the NCAA portal and nil have made the college game pathetic. These athletes getting contracts - eventually it'll be the top 100-150 athletes and livi dune getting lots of money while the small programs get lost and disappear.
  12. the quote from that men in black movie works.
  13. Go to a children's sports event to see the worst of humanity.
  14. I trust Jauron on this one. He is honest 92% of the time he is right.
  15. Veach was Sirius at 2pm talking about their desire to sign him and Jones back for next year.
  16. Why would they meet with him. I really couldn't be around anyone after such an event like this. Especially a politician. Nevermind. The bottom half didn't show up at first. You run your mouth a whole ***** bunch.
  17. You need to listen to the short part. He was asked "were you truthful in your statements?" And he had to think.
  18. See this is exciting! The only real words I have to say is that when pits bite they bite as hard as anything else and can tear up someone quick. The little dogs, Jack Russels, Chihuahua, etc are even more annoying.
  19. the part where he could not remember if he told the truth or not was amazing.
  20. make a new thread with a poll for this 😁 it's not fun unless you have a completely embedded and entrenched view that is firm and over the top to a whimsical level. bringing in levelheadedess is boring!
  21. don't go over wolverton mountain if you're looking for a wife.
  22. you did say real doctors are only MD's... i don't know if you watch rick and morty. it's great. lots of jokes about Diane being a doctor but not a real doctor... just a horse doctor. clearly someone on the show had a vet in their family with all the vet jokes.
  23. how far of a ride is that?!?! btw i'm totally believing this
  24. i'm sorry that my words hurt you. it would be the same way home owners insurance works. many include the type of breed on the insurance of the home. it's up to the owner to surrender the information but ultimately up to the insurance to make the verdict. in most cases it is when the breed is 50% or greater in all forms of animal control/livestock/breed identification.
