Cujo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If schools would finally allow players to cash in on their talents, the Buckeyes would be everyone's #1.Now why aren't "student athletes" allowed to get a chunk again? Ahh, that's right.. There is no reason! -- The system flat out SUCKS.So getting a full ride to college isn't enough?Who decided that receiving fiar compensation for being a star player is wrong? Just imagine going to work and your employer decided to compensate you with college classses instead of money. Would THAT be fair?With the billions of dollars the NCAA now rakes in becase of these athletes, why can't they get paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Many universities already have huge advantages over others because of historical backgrounds, athletic facilities, world-class trainers, and top-tier educational programs as well.Add in the ability to pay some of these guys, and the gulf between the Ohio St.'s, Alabama's, USC's of the world and the Boise St.'s would just grow.

dfwabel Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 To All Buckeye Players: Do not sell your commerative Gold Pants (official value $50) or your "Championship Rings" to anyone.That is how we got in this to begin with. Congratulations.Best Wishes,Gene Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Like I said pay them whatever the tuition at their school would be. If he plays for OSU, give him a check for $20k (average tuition for Ohio resident) and take away all of his scholarships. See how happy they are after that.

Top schools & conferences will always get the top players. What is unfair is that the players are the reason some of these schools are even on the map and don't see a dime iin return. What exactly keeping the NCAA from giving $10-20K to each player per season? The schools could easily afford this. I really have no clue how the NCAA gets away with this modern-day version of indentured servitude. What they've been able to get away with is wrong in so many ways.

RyanMcD29 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Down goes the Cards. If the Cards somehow win against Rutgers, there would be a 3-way tie for the conference champion just like last year.More likely 4-way if Cincy doesn't trip up. Yep, typical Big East season Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 More bourbon. MORE BOURBON!Way too much time to go. That was a physiological boost for Florida State to get points before the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 With the way E.J. Manuel is playing today, I would REALLY hope Florida doesn't find a way to lose this game.UPDATE - insane inopportune-ness. 13-10 ballgame now. And the Doak is friggen rocking.

Kramerica Industries Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well, it'll be a miracle if Florida wins this game now.Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot. TERRIBLE 3rd quarter display to this point. Holding penalties immediately following the last two Florida St. turnovers. They're screwing themselves over in every way that they can.

DarkJourney Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The Gators could be screwing themselves out of a possible BCS Championship game if Notre Dame loses and at worst the Sugar Bowl. If they lose hello Capital One Bowl or Outback Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'd suspect the Sugar Bowl would take the loser of Bama/Georgia. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Good luck to Ohio State in their bowl game...oh wait nevermindBoy that Gator Bowl last year sure was worth it.Last season, no one thought Ohio State was going to be very good this season. That's why they decided to remain eligible for a bowl game last year. I'm sure if anyone had even an inkling that this team would go 12-0, it would have been a different decision. No one saw this coming.Just sayin Ohio State belongs in the National Championship Game. They really don't, but I like the sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well, it'll be a miracle if Florida wins this game now.Easy, tiger. Florida is just down 4 with six minutes to go. The Gators can easily win this one without needing a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
