Other Chicago & General Sports Thread LXI: Bulls Talk

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, but almost all of that is to attract the best coaches and players for the money sports. Those are viewed as means to an end by athletic departments. If you suddenly have to start paying student athletes, I guarantee that they won't view that in the same lens and just cut the areas where they don't see a profit rather than eating costs or cutting elsewhere.

Yes, so instead of building ridiculous buildings or paying coaches inflated salaries, you'd give money to players. Coaching salaries are inflated because they don't have to compete with the players for that slice of the pie. Would anyone be crying if Nick Saban made 10 mil a year instead of 11 and that extra mil was divided among the players?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That's the way it should work, not the way it necessarily will work, though. In an ideal world, some of the fat would just get cut and be more than enough to nourish everything. I just really doubt that'll be the realty of the situation for the vast majority of programs.

for the major college sports (basketball and football) it is absolutely disgusting with how much money these people are making off of kids..then to watch these coaches make millions of dollars preaching a team game to "amateurs" that very few make it in is appalling. now look at the tv deal some of these conferences have signed lol...but they get a scholarship right??

I cannont stand the hypocrisy in college, college elitists who profit off of kids for their personal gain..30 years ago this wasn't such a big deal, when you look at the cash flow involved now, it is sickening what these schools are making off of free labor.

The point is that the NCAA is useless. They are not a disciplinary body. The POWER FIVE need to break away and allow the student athlete earn money through endorsements / image. If they want to take a loan, they should be allowed to do so from a central body.

The FBI proved blatant forms of payment is already happening REGARDLESS of NCAA rules. It's time to regulate through transparency. The current trial will help the Power Five to navigate through anti trust laws.

College kids should be allowed to transfer without penalty at the end of the season. No mid season transfer though. Each player gets 5 years to play 4 years of varsity college athletics. We expect everyone to graduate in 4/5 years. So should athletes. The age of 25 should be the cut off for any college athlete ... unless they served in the military prior to 25.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Funny how that works when things go well.

I hope you're not implying I thought Turner's home run was lucky.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

.... the f*** is a "zenni?"



Other than an extra letter to the currency in Dragon Ball, ladies.

Nope haha, my comments aren’t really even towards you. Just continuing to be passive aggressive towards Jeffress

Looks a lot better compared to some of these other teams ugly looking ads.

I learned a lot this year," Davis told the Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer. "I learned that the next situation I get in, before I say yes to a job, I need to make sure I know the personnel I'll be dealing with in the clubhouse. I hope the next guy connects better with the players, because I felt that there were multiple players there I didn't connect with. It wasn't that I didn't try; it just wasn't there.​

3 hitting coaches in 3 years says you are right

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

That’s a bit misleading. Malle was here for 3 years before Davis. Firing two coaches over 4 years isn’t great either, but saying 3 hitting coaches in 3 years is a bit misleading.

I’m sure Davis has some legitimate gripes. The “millennial” comment was kind of odd, though. But I guess you may as well go to ol’ reliable. When it doubt, blame the millenials.

Sources: Red Sox were warned by Indians about Astros attempting to steal signs and information

 

[piteus]

As expected, K and Dook are involved in the college basketball scandal. Zion Williamson was known to be shopping his services for a job, cash, and housing.

Jeff Capel is known as a dirty recruiter. It shouldn't surprise anyone K looks the other way ALL THE TIME. He's such a hypocrite. Leader of Men .. LOL.

Macahdo playing dirty.

People were also suspicious of the Astros in the World Series last year.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Man, I want to stay up for this game.. but it’s just not worth it. Resume it tomorrow haha

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Alright, I’ve stayed up for whatever reason... but I’m just giving the dodgers the bottom of the 13th here and then I’m out. This isn’t even an exciting extra innings game.

 

[BK]

It’s only 2:10pm!

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Well, good thing I stuck it out for one more. Big game tomorrow.

Excuse me, big game *today*

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Also, why not walk Bellinger there? Don’t get that.

 

[TLEH]

I’m a little late but I agree that the NCAA is useless and I agree the power 5 should just do their own thing.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

Or you know it could be true

Your job as a coach is to connect with the players. If you cannot do that and just blame it on them being "millennials" then you're simply bad at your job.
