IRELAND ARE CURRENTLY holding back the tide against Spain at Yankee Stadium.
The half-time possession stats predictably made tough reading for Irish fans but one supporter summed up what many thought when OptaJose tweeted out the the passing figures.
James is right. These universities make millions off these athletes and don’t pay them. The NBA need to change their eligibility rules to allow highschool players enter the NBA. Get rid of the ‘One and Done’
@Stipe Miocic: These universities are making billions from these athletes. Players are not allowed get part-time jobs, get gifts or endorsements and sometimes have to get their parents to pay for everyday meals that the players can’t afford.
@EK: it’s a ridiculous state of affairs, the ‘education’ these kids get is a joke, the majority don’t complete their respective degrees, and the old ‘they’re getting a free education’ is nonsense, a few years ago Time magazine did a piece about it and what SEC colleges were making, it was around the time Johnny Manziel got suspended for getting paid for an autograph signing, that year the University of Texas ‘Longhorns’ revenue from their football program was $105 million, profit on that, $85million, there isn’t too many businesses with margins like that
@Ruairí Mul: in the week just gone there was a Notre Dame footballer who tweeted he was ‘broke and starving’, someone from south bend (where the college is based) responded saying he was welcome in their home for dinner, if he had taken up their offer he would be in breach of NCAA rules
Farcical at this stage
