Shadow’s remedy for college basketball scandals

Postby Shadow » Sat Feb 24, 2018 1:09 pm

Quit supporting the underlying causes.
1) Bury the Swoosh (quit buying Nike products)
2) Say Adios to Adidas
3) Ignore the NBA
Removing the income to the above entities would quickly change things.

The NBA's one and done rule needs to go away.

The only only answer is to eliminate amateur sports in college....pay certain sports and let all athletes accept monies from a agent or source or whatever.....right now the NCAA allows baseball and hockey athletes to accept monies and basically be pros at any level....why not all sports??

For one thing....not all sports have professional leagues that the athletes can move into.

Perhaps, for the sports where there is no professional level, there should be a separate set of rules or a separate organization?

Then the other sports can become true minor leagues for professional leagues?
Football
Basketball
Baseball
Soccer
Hockey
Golf
Track & Field
Any others?

Great.

Then you'll pave the way for that buffoon Lavar Ball to sell shoes for $500.

Ouch! You are unfortunately correct. Let’s not empower that buffoon.
