actually I've turned down several job opportunities that were significantly over 10k increases.

I wonder if I'm courageous too. From now on I would everyone to refer to me as TDub the Brave. Ill also set up a gofundme in case anyone feels bad for my plight.

We are all courageous.

I’m surprised you guys are willing to accept any money at all.

True courage would be doing it for the love of what you do.

Oh, and I don’t think I’ve said anything about Dajuan that was really inappropriate to say.

When you’re the starting PG of a blue blood, your on-court performance is subject to criticism.

What Randy and pdub are doing is different.

Dickinson has said a few things over the past month or so that I've chosen to overlook.

He needs to meet with the
KU PR people.

Our players usually say all the right things to the media.

While I admittedly dunno how I feel about it all either, and dunno every single thing this kid said, I also realize he’s just saying the quiet part out loud.

Or, what used to be the quiet part.

Again, it’s not whether it’s happening that bothers certain fans, it’s just more so that they’d rather not have to hear about it, so they can pretend it never was happening.

In other words, it’s about being nostalgic for a time that never existed to begin with.

I mean, the money that i've gotten ( to cover the site's hosting fees btw ) vs the hours spent in coding would probably put my rate at 3 dollars an hour or so.

I don't think this as correct of a statement as you ( and others ) think it is.

I would also accept free room and board and courses and flights around the US to network and show off my work and have some of the best designers and coders teaching me and free publicity and a living stipend.

In fact, i'd prefer that over my 3 dollars an hour.

care to provide evidence of some time when student athletes were demonstrably free from the moneyed interests?

You can believe that every player on KU from whenever you started watching was getting paid cash under the table.

I don't think that is true.

And in this case, you would need to provide the evidence that it wasn't true. Not the other way around. Unless guilty until proven innocent etc.
