Jayhawks making $$$

[ousdahl]

It took literally the Supreme Court to say so, too

We can talk about pie in the sky all day, but the environment is what it is.

NCAA was finally put in hot fucking water letting hogs line their pockets with millions in cash.

I think the arguments you and Fish are making are just as pie in the sky as pdub's.

I don't speak for fish, but my biggest argument has always been you can't morally (or legally) disallow NIL. And NIL is here.

Yes, and so with it is a decrease in interest from a large portion of the fan base.

is there any actual evidence of this?

i’m not saying your wrong, necessarily, but i really think it’s to early to know for sure...particularly the “large portion” aspect

"I don't like the new food, drinks or management at my favorite pub. I may not go anymore."
"That's just the way it is. There's nothing you can do about it. It was inevitable really. I love the changes. Also, you're weird."
"Ok, you can love it, and I get it probably won't change, I was just saying I don't like it, and may not go anymore."

Yes.

Pdub and I are a large portion of the fan base.

I agree.
It's too early to tell.
My guess is you'll loose a lot of olds but the younger peeps won't care because they'll never have known anything different.
BWW Chad will take his two boys to BWW for March Madness and fucking love it.

Yet to be seen but it sure hasn't hurt college football at all. "Large" portion is not supported by anything (yet?).

Regardless, that small percentage of viewers lost just doesn't bother me. If given the choice, I'd feel better about the circus with acrobats that get a fair living rather than working for free.

You aren’t taking the ous and rosie off the sat shack menu, are you?!

[pdub]

I didn't know that the acrobats, who were just starting off as acrobats, got over 100k year in benefits.

[PhDhawk]

"working for free" lol

Hell no.
But imagine if The Sputnik bought out the Shack and installed brand new TV screens, had gimmicky things like stock prices on drafts, created a new whiskey cocktail menu with drinks like Gleaming Light of the Sky for 18 dollars, made the JukeBox digital and raised a play to 3 bucks.
Dale would shit on the floor and never come back.

[pdub]

Those poor D1 athletes.
Just struggling to get by.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Point taken, but you know what I meant--it's Barnum and Bailey making millions while the acrobats are given room and board. If the circus is barely squeaking by, I get it, but it's not and only some people were getting fat with cash.

It's been said over and over, but there are just so few examples where people aren't allowed to capitalize on their own personal market value. It's wrong and illegal, and that system is gone.

[pdub]

Well, i've all along said fuck Barnum and Bailey, burn em down.

much like social media, i tend to stay away from watching espn unless there’s a KU game on

are these endorsement deals really taking over their coverage?

Also, ps, Dale shat on the floor.

[pdub]

That's fine.
He'll be back.

They talk a lot about it during football games.

If there are examples of people not being able to capitalize on their own personal market value, it’s usually something like, cuz someone else is capitalizing on their value instead.

It seems to hold as true in college sports as it does in the strikes thread.

[ousdahl]

That's fine.

He’ll be back?

Bro never left, he’s still passed out on the floor right next to the pile.

Might wanna clean that up before the lunch crowd gets here.
