When Did Jorge Milian Become Such a ****?

[nystateofmind]

He is right.

Oh I forgot where they get FORCED to play football on a full ride scholarship to a university that at least 75% of the kids who get the schollys would never get into without their skill sets..

lets not forget the helping hand they get which includes more tutoring and making sure they can leave with a piece of paper of a diploma in the end

So what? College football is a billion dollar industry that pays nothing to the workforce. **** Miami and it's degree.

Would rep if I could. Modern day slavery.

More like modern day serfdom, not slavery.

I guess, but do some of these guys have a choice?

If you grow up in a low income neighborhood and you're a great football player, what else can you do? NCAA is their only choice.

Its not like they are selling the cards, so how is it exploitative?

Seems like there is no money passing, would make the recruits feel important and let others know who they were. Absent the passing of money, to me this is a good thing and some jerk is ****ed because he can't get to the players to cause problems.

 

[RiDLer80]

I don't see a problem with it. If anything it's helping these kids build their 'brand' and allows for people around the community to become more familiar with them.

These kids aren't allowed to have a ******* "brand."

They can't even sell the jersey they wear in games with their name on it.

He's referring to Miami's rule that freshmen cannot speak to the media.

I saw Stacy Coley do a number of interviews this past season.

It's a way to get people in the door.

**** Miami and it's degree?

Sounds like someone didn't go there. In the grand scheme of things, Miami football doesn't mean ****. If it disappeared tomorrow, the university would continue to operate at a high academic level. Probably higher.

**** you and you're non-Miami degree.

 

[nystateofmind]

Oh.

Got me with a typo!

Meh. Don't take offense to the comment. Most degrees from most Universities aren't really worth the cost it takes to get them.

That's really all I meant by it. Sure, 50 years ago when not nearly as many people in the US had a bachelors, and before billion dollar TV contracts it was a fair trade off. Not anymore.

Not the point. Easy to **** on something you haven't earned yourself - especially something that has been proven to be very valuable to many people's careers/lives.

Yeah, those recruits and families look real upset when they announce where they are going. Forced labor.

If you guys really believed this stuff, you would convince kids to go to their local junior college, enroll in some classes, and get a part time job. Nothing would be forced on them in that scenario.

It means something when you wouldn't have had a prayer to get into college if you had to do it on your own, without football. And before you tell me that they're all in it to go pro, please list the seniors that are about to go undrafted.

 

[datdude81]

He is right.

Exactly....lol...lolol... I am not sure why people don't get that...anything to hype the program that generates
money for school...smh there is always an angle

 

[Ibis4life]

When was he not?

No it doesn't. Not with what these kids put their bodies through. A bachelors degree isn't anywhere near as valuable as it used to be. In the meantime, the money over the past 2 decades in TV alone has ballooned into the stratosphere and players don't see a dime.

And before you tell me that they're all in it to go pro, please list the seniors that are about to go undrafted.

They're all in it to go pro. So is this school since it's embraced the "NFLU" mindset. Not a week goes by that the school's official athletic site, twitter, or facebook account doesn't provide updates of all the former Canes scoring touchdowns in the NFL. Their draft status means nothing.

Those players get everything handed to them while being allowed to train for the career they want. Housing, food, nutritionists, tutors, training, coaching, etc. They get every bit of it for free. And when you have a 920 SAT and 2.54 GPA, a free bachelor's degree from a top 50 university is a pretty big deal.

And when they don't go pro, as most of them won't, that free bachelor's degree that they got after not deserving to be at that university in the first place will help them get an actual job. Maybe they could compare their "slavery" and subsequent degree to their boy in the hood who wasn't very good at football who scrapes by on minimum wage.

Oh man, just realized who I was conversing with. Why have you been banned 2 times, Canewasher?
