This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

you are simply dense by jt

I have not jumped back and forth on anything.

If the NCAA members find value in having programs that aren't money makers on their own, they should pool resources and fund them. It's not up to the players. I've said that the whole time.

The NCAA is a cartel. Look that word up and get back to me. The athletes have very limited choices, and the NCAA is likely avoiding employment law illegally.

I will let you worry about the haves and the have nots. That's an NCAA concern, not an athlete concern. I'm concerned about the athletes; if you can come up with one good reason as to why a football player should be concerned about women's basketball players getting a fair wage, let me know. But I have asked you and asked you and asked you and you've refused to answer, just like you refused to give the full IRS definition of full time employment; it's because you are a dishonest person.
