“An athlete should be paid if he works at Wal-Mart or McDonald’s — but not to go to college. The purpose is to go to college, not to be a football player…”
That would explain his recruiting classes at South Carolina. And since when does a college football player have time to work a second job, anyway?
Get The Picture 
CFB players with second jobs?
Well, there was that dude from Florida who bagged groceries at Publix and fooled us on that fake kick and uhhhhhh…uhhhhhhh

So what’s the deal? I thought football players couldn’t have jobs due to the “show up to my car dealership sometime and pick up your ‘paycheck'” stuff. But then you have the Florida kid working at Publix. So which is it?

The UF kid’s a walk on, not a player on scholarship.

Just curious then…why can’t I hire Nick Chubb for $300k and let him “walk on” rather than accept a scholly? Taking this further, isn’t the limit 85 scholarship athletes, so I could load up the team with as big a “sponsored” payroll of walk-ons I could muster up? We know the answer is “no”…so I’m back to not really understanding how the kid at Publix can play, other than the NCAA is so f’ed up who does know?

Bomar was on scholarship though. Again, this is mainly rhetorical since I’m sure the NCAA has a rule or Auburn would already have been on it.

Think I found it…can’t earn more than $2000 over value of scholarship, whether you are on scholly or not.
So Gurley got screwed…he was only $1000 over the limit…2 game suspension only!
I hate how the NCAA runs things.

My son had a group of his fellow first year law students over to our place to watch the SECC game. I ran the grill. I wasn’t really part of any conversations. Just a Dad being the Dad. But the talk about Gurley and the creative debates per Manziel’s best friend agent status was fun to listen to. NCAA will be dealing with some young guns soon sports fans. 😉

Because Chubb would actually have to perform work for you that justified the $300k salary, meaning you would have to give him a real job and he would have to take time from school, practice and conditioning to perform the work for you.

College students shouldnt be paid to play college football. Football players pretending to be college students that the coaches and administrators could give a damn about except their capacity to make them money should get their cut of the revenue stream. They need to pick: if they are in business, pay them. If they are not a business enterprise them don’t pay and play football with college students. Rather than debating compensation they should debate what they are and act accordingly. Thus far they act like they are plantation owners explaining that paying the labor would unjustifiably upset the balance of nature. It’s bullshit. Unfortunately there is a huge market for bullshit. People can’t seem to get enough of it.

Come on Derek. If you pay these kids, they’ll just waste the money on licorice whips and coonskin caps. They’re better off letting their superiors spend the money on IPFs and recruiting rooms in the stadium. Those are investments.

The purpose of taking a job at a university is to be a teacher; if a guy wants to be paid for teaching students he can be paid as a teacher, right, Lou?
