Did someone pee in your cornflakes today?
I may be missing a post. nevertheless, it is possible for one to be both an employee and a contractor. not sure if that applies to your comment.
I see the coach as an employee and the athletes as quasi employees or true employees in the future (that's why I put the reference to players being employees in quotes)... Regardless, this LSU scenario sure is raising a lot of eyebrows, questions and concerns.
They can't be considered employees when there's so much more involved here. They're part of a university that has so many different categories of workers.
Whether considered employees technically or not, they will likely be something extremely close to it in the fairly near future. Perhaps some sort of union-like situation with collective bargaining. It's moving that way with these decided and looming court cases.
I was actually referring to the courts. There are a lot of carve outs at universities in labor law and even with taxes.
Got it. That's really no different than any organization, especially pro sports where the athletes make more than the coaches. Everyone is an employee and the coach is in management.
There are far more complicated arrangements in the corporate world. Agreed there is a lot to shake out here, but whether they end up being employees, contractors, full time, part time, they'll figure out a way to get paid.
It's the below minimum wage thing that is allowed on campus. Not sure about the corporate world for that. But many workers are also exempt from taxes.
He didn't quote the whole article but basically UNC's leadership views football as necessary in protecting the broad based athletic program long term. It either get's in the game or relegate to the Ivy league level
UNC is definitely much more appealing to both the SEC and the B1G comparing to FSU and Clemson. The floodgate will be wide open if we ever get clarity on this GOR situation.

As I recollect, the whole car wash thing was originally parody that ended up getting taken seriously by some on the board. After a while, the poster pivoted and started making up faux serious predictions and eventually flamed out. I suspect that most on the board "were in on the joke" and just went along with it because it was a funny running bit for a while.
Yeah I can't remember exactly how it started. I remember it getting more and more ludicrous as it went on. I also remember some people taking it very seriously while others ran with the joke. I did appreciate it's absurdity and it's place in the history of this CR board.
