What's on your mind?

I like this quote and many others by this wonderful mid century philosopher.

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made"--Groucho Marx

Seems like this would apply to a number of coaches we have talked about. :lol:

That’s why doing real research is key-not just a cursory skim of the internet. If you’re going to use a quote you should know who said it and why. Otherwise they are just empty words. I will raise my hand as a former history major

Drives me nuts- most people only read headlines and never find the real story buried several paragraphs down. It used to be bad with Newspapers-it’s an epidemic now

To get back on topic do you think if if the players get paid more the people who work at the college will want to get paid more because they are supporting and creating the environment for the athletes?
Not like the athletes just get out there and compete without the leadership of coaches and an administrative staff, xcetera.

I was wondering- can it be legal in CA, but still prohibited by the NCAA?

Yes, I think pay will be requested or go up so each school gets the best support staff. When all is said and done the biggest hit will be our pocketbook with more taxes since California will try to make college free or cheaper while paying athletes directly and indirectly.
