Mr 44; I emphatically disagree because the cheating and payments are ruining parity at the college level. P5 schools are so stratified and concentrated at the top that it threatens the game. We probably are getting another 'Bama-Georgia vs Clemson Title game....again. The Final 4 will be the same-ole-same-ole (Kansas won't make it because Self can't seem to live up to his seeding). Paying players aint gonna level the field; if anything it's gonna stratify & concentrate the BlueBloods even more. When is this sheit gonna end; Kansas has been cheating before Self was even born:
Wilt Chamberlain Says Boosters Paid Him to Play Basketball for Kansas in the 1950s
Since when was the goal of sports PARITY?!? Lack of parity is killing college sports? Just 6 players have won the last 40 men's tennis major tourneys. Parity in the NBA? PLEASE. Hello Lakers/Celtics/Bulls/Warriors. The NFL? Please. Hello Cowboys/Steelers/49ers/Patriots. MLB? How many titles between the Yankees, Cardinals and Red Sox, 47?
The only people who want parity are fans of teams that never win. The rest of us want to see the best players play and beat the best players.

"The audience enjoyed that sh*t," Snoop said. "I don't know what the f*ck they (Ku) talking about."
Stern asked Snoop about being asked to leave after the performance ... which he denies.
"That's a motherf**king lie. I had the time of my life. I enjoyed myself, hung out with the basketball teams."

Sure, doesn't bother me at all. College football is a vastly inferior football product to the NFL that I rarely watch but a Clemson vs. Bama game might be executed at a high enough level to draw my interest. I'd watch more of it than a Wisconsin vs. Boise State game.
Allowing the players to get money is in my opinion the right thing to do. If as a result, KU isnt as dominant at basketball then so be it. It's how the sport needs to progress given the current arrangement.
And while many think it would result in the "rich getting richer" I actually agree with you that it will level the playing field some. Iowa State and other programs who have high dollar boosters not willing to break the rules will now have those booster available to pitch in to the process.
Self and I haven't had any conversations so I dont have anything to base an opinion off of.
Bilas has kept his mouth shut after proclaiming that Miller would never coach another game. He now only goes after the easier target--the NCAA.
Eh. Who cares? It was a fun event late at night, and Snoop's gonna Snoop. KU knew what they were getting, the kids likely loved it, who else does it affect at all? Not the classiest move, and the money guns were hopefully tongue-in-cheek by Snoop, but who cares?
I have loved Snoop since his verses on The Chronic... but I do wonder what KU's idea of "current rap" is.
I've seen him a couple of times and he's hilarious. He just gets high and enjoys himself, and it's hilarious to watch.

I have lived in Missouri, Michigan, Colorado, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana and now Nebraska and have had the opportunity to watch good college programs from all over. From a pure play-of-the-game product, it is vastly inferior to the NFL. Which is to be expected. Too many penalties, too wide a disparity in talent between tiers of teams, too little talent from a coaching and play standpoint. My weekend time is valuable to me. I try to watch CFB games and they are typically just too poorly played to keep my interest.I would expect someone who has Kansas football as their barometer to say this.
Saturdays turn into good days to take the bike out or do yardwork so I can watch good football on Sunday. But that's just me. To each their own.
I’m trying to figure out which statement is the most moronic...The justification of KU indiscretions, parity is socialism, or college football is a bad product. You can justify KU’s cheating all you want, but you have broken the rules and now you’re crying about the rules. You’re the thief that got caught robbing the liquor store and instead of owning up to your mistakes, you blame society and it’s laws. As far as your precious NFL, it’s popularity is derived from parity and gambling. So you want parity in the NFL, but it’s not OK in college football? I wonder where the NFL would be without the most popular minor league system in the US called college football?
1) It's a dumb rule. A majority of the fans polled on the topic (even those who are not fans of teams currently facing punishment for breaking them) agree with me that college players in at least the revenue generating sports should receive some form of monetary compensation.
2) As I write this, I am watching the Texas vs. OU game as Texas' star senior defensive player gets ejected for targeting due to being careless and inexperienced and Texas compounding it with blunders, penalties, dropped passes, sacks allowed and missed tackles. And this is in what looks to be one of the best matchups of the CFB week.
3) I 100% agree with you that NCAA football is a vital and necessary minor league feeder system to the NFL. I dont care to watch minor league or college baseball for the same reasons.
Again, this is just me and what I do not enjoy about it. I am not trying to convince anyone to agree or feel the same as me. If you love it and it hits all of your checkboxes, that's great. I am an antsy person so basketball is more my thing due to all of the extended periods of inactivity in football. It takes a high quality of football to hold my attention or else I wander away from it to find something else to do.
