Are college athletes employees of their schools? A recent ruling says yes. The National Labor Relations Board sided with college players this month in a regional ruling that agreed with the Dartmouth College men’s basketball team. It sets up the potential for the first-ever labor union for...

“If you’re looking for the easy way and you’re looking for a handout, don’t come to Boise State.” If players get paid, it's a handout. Is Coach getting a handout when he gets paid as well?

I'm guessing it wouldn't.

How do you feel about coaches moving around from team to team? How does that impact "loyalty to the school, team, etc."?

I must say, you seem to react very strongly to having your viewpoint questioned.

I asked a very simple question. The only answer I received was some nonsense about how it had already been answered. People love the free market, as long as it works to their advantage. When it becomes inconvenient, they want to limit it.

'Good Lord, man'... do you hate the free market? How can the free market be bad for anything?

Regarding pay for play: Why is it okay for certain people to profit from college football, but not okay for the players to get paid? Nobody here has answered that particular question.

I love the modern world, and its approach to journalism. What a clown show.

I have to say, the pearl-clutching is hilarious. Nobody seemed to be demanding "rules" until the athletes themselves stood to make a little money. Coaches, TV executives, colleges... they can all make money hand over fist, and nobody says boo. Too funny.

Okay, let's take out the 'bloody murder' hyperbole (on my part) and I'll rephrase it: I seldom, if ever, saw anybody object to the idea of coaches, colleges, TV people, or advertisers making huge paychecks off of college football. Apparently, those gigantic paydays never posed a threat to the...

No. Absolutely not; it would not change my view at all. I think it's ridiculous that people seem fine with coaches, schools, administrators, TV executives, TV and radio broadcasters, advertisers, etc, etc, making ridiculous amounts of money off of college football, and yet they scream bloody...

THANK YOU!!!!! Coaches like Kelly and Saban, who have made obscene amounts of money for years coaching these kids, are suddenly getting their knickers in a twist because the athletes finally — finally! — have an opportunity to get just a piece of this very, very large money pie that is college...

Nobody is willing to settle for below average QB play. You mentioned Morgan's total yards and total number of TDs. Those are stats based on quantity, rather than quality. A QB who plays for a team that passes more frequently than Minnesota does will obviously have more attempts, more...

It's not remotely realistic. Not every single season. Anyone who thinks that way is setting themselves up for disappointment.

I was very enthusiastic about AK coming into last season. My excitement was based on: — Obvious athletic talents, especially the arm talent — I thought AK played pretty well after replacing Morgan in 2022 — I'm an optimistic fan. I always get excited for the team, in every offseason. I...

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that left tackle is a really important position. How reliable is PFF College?

Have you heard or read somewhere that Brosmer is "can't miss"?

Ha! He certainly doesn't need to perform at an All B1G level in order to be a major upgrade from last season. Mere competence will do quite nicely. Fewer bounce passes, sailed throws and/or two yard bullets, please. That's all we ask.
