From
where I sit it looks like players in the NCAA are getting more ammunition in their case to
get paid...
$143
million plus. All on the backs of kids. Yes, they get an education.
Frankly, that's invaluable. However, that doesn't preclude the fact
that many universities are making millions of dollars on the backs of
these kids. Alabama is one of the biggest money making schools in
the US, so obviously that means most others don't make anywhere near
that much off their teams. I'm sure there are plenty of athletes
playing to get their educations. So, what's wrong with letting them
earn something extra. Particularly at a time when the economy is
still trying to recover. Give the highest spending age group more
money to work with. I really doubt there will be too much harm done
here. Why should the rich guys in suits just get richer off the
sweat of kids?
Lars
Eller has hopefully learned to keep his yap shut...
It's
nothing new to put a foot in your mouth. Let's face it, if Gretzky
can do it, what hope do the average players have? It's even more
noticeable in an era where comments are sent around the world in
dozens of languages in the blink of an eye. At the same time, what
was he thinking? I know English isn't Eller's first language, but
you don't give your opponent anything to focus on. Even Michel
Therrien wasn't happy with Eller's remarks. The Oilers are a
struggling team. There's no question about it. So, why on earth
would you give them a reason to get pumped up for a game? Here's a
tip Lars, if you're going to call the other team garbage, wait until
after they leave.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
