Purdue7 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 All the athletes wanted was a piece of the pie.  $500 a month? But the establishment wanted to keep the free labor as they destroyed conferences for the sake of football 💰 Same old codgers who ran the Olympics & AAU for a hundred years…. They could have collectively bargained some guard rails but here we are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone calls it greed, I just hope they are not hypocritical. And they usually are. 99 times out of 100, whenever anyone scorns someone about money or blames something on "the rich", it's never about principle. They'd do the exact same thing they're talking down to the other person about if the shoe was on the other foot. What it all boils down to is.....there's money involved, and they're not getting any of it, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it has become is sickening. "The way it has become" is "the way it's always been" for decades. It just wasn't talked about openly. These amounts of money have always been tossed around in college athletics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier4Life53 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 (edited) 1 hour ago, btownqb said: Yep. So make them employees and they can have money based on how well they perform, they shouldn't just be handed anything. If you transfer, you're paying some of it back. If you don't perform, you're paying some of it back/having your "scholly" pulled. Can't handle public criticism, you're out too. Real-world, much more cutthroat, I'm all about it, but I am not necessarily sure that's truly what the players want. In other words - performance driven like most jobs, but I doubt that’s what they want either.

Hoosier4Life53 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 1 hour ago, ledies22 said: even before the money involvement, there was greed in transferring in the form of more playing time. Yeah, but before the rules changed players made a sacrifice too, because they had to sit a year before they could play at a new school unless they got a waiver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUfaninIllinois Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I think tomorrow through Sunday will be interesting. ISU season is over tonight so we will see if he decides to go to SLU and if he does I’d think by next week we would know who is going with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUfaninIllinois Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 So I saw on BTB they saw a rumor that Conwell’s dream school was IU. 1, I hope it’s actually true and 2. I really hope IU pursues him. If these are both true do you take him over KC or do you convince them both to come? Also is Rice or KC a point guard? I see they are just boat listed as guards. Conwell I’m pretty sure is a shooting guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see these coaches kids being told by Dad to go out and see how much you can get paid. There’s probably some political pressure around maxing out the coach’s kid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny recruits a lot of talent...never seems to do much with it to be honest. Yes, I looked at his record and his body of work. Considering he plays in the AAC and gets a lot of talent, no...I'm not impressed with what he's accomplished. His approach looks a lot like the old AAU roll the ball out and let em play. I don't see much coaching or developing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just get tired of people making blanket statements about coaches or players when it appears they have not looked at the record. I've never been a huge fan of Penny, but take a look at how his team performed this past season. Is that the sign of a sh*tty coach? I don't think so.
