Senators propose labor bill for college athletes

Figures Bernie and Murphy would support something that would only help the 1%s

Don't see a problem with this. These kids generate billions of dollars in TV revenue for the schools, conference and TV networks. They deserve to be compensated as such.

I am sure you realize those billions go back to the member institutions. So please explain where the extra money is coming from to compensate these employees. I am sure you also realize all but a relative handful of these institutions show a profit in their athletic programs.

(I still have the nightmares about the game at Navy.)

My group was at that game, maybe around the 10-15 yard line. We had plenty of drinking motivation after that. Dumbfounded is the only word I have.

Were you sitting anywhere near blue and white kid? If so we were pretty close.

Yeah, maybe. But Clemson used theirs to build a lazy river for football players. Reg7lar student can’t use it. Cry me a(lazy) river about institutions getting the money. The fifth poorest state in the country is paying its football coach 10 million a year. Again, cry me a (lazy) river.

My memory is fading about everything BUT the end of the game. Not the way I want it to happen. Ridiculously hot and sweaty that day and Diaco still made our temperatures rise.

It was a hot day I but I was feeling really good about Connecticut football, for a while anyway.

Annapolis is a great place to see a game. I’m looking forward to going to West Point. I’ve seen a few games there. It is beautiful as well.
