You’re absolutely correct.
Do you owe a weedeater?
This is no place for logic.
Apparently, he skipped the day they talked about calendars.
Where did I say that? I was just pointing out simple logic. Sometimes a coincidence is a coincidence. Yes, we are probably down a player for the 2024 season. Henderson wouldn’t show up until 2025. Tell me how that helps us in the next six months.This is no place for logic.
Gen. you are aware that CTEAU practiced at Auburn, right?
Because he is out there now saying that AU is working even harder to get him to flip. Before, we had supposedly moved on. Now we are down a player for the season and it looks like he’s trying to start something up.
It seemed a little too coincidental. But you go ahead and pretend you have a corner on all AU news.
So. If we go play a team in California, will they be able to tax the players like they do in the NFL?Fucking kneelers.
So many questions about this....Do you expect anyone to read all of this? It’s not Snag’s level but it’s entirely too TL;DR. And I say this as a friend. You’re a much better poster than most but this was uncalled for. Cliff Notes, my man. We are all busy people.
Do schools have a salary cap? Is it by sport or by school? Is there a base salary per player? How's that work for non-revenue sports? Does a baseball player on a 1/4 athletic scholarship make the same as a women's golf player who is on a 1/2 athletic scholarship? Do scholarships get revoked and tuition/fees paid out of your salary? Will schools cut sports that are losing money? Will there still be roster limits or can a school like Alabama just pay players to keep them on the bench so they can't play for rivals? Will Title IX equalize pay for women/men players? Will players get bonuses (for post season, or individual accolades)?
And then there's the tax implications... I travel for work (or used to before COVID). I might support a client in California and New York in the same year, and any work I do on site for that client, I pay state taxes for the work done while on site. So, these players "should" be in the same boat. You play for Michigan, well, that's fine, but you're paying taxes in Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, and Minnesota this year.
I've always been the type of person to really limit my criticism of student athletes - they are kids on scholarship after all.. But if a College QB is getting paid 1M a year, I'm going to critique him like I do the QB of an NFL team.
And how much will tickets go up to offset the cost? I stopped giving to Auburn years ago, because of NIL. I refuse to donate to an organization who will just hand it over to student athletes so they can go buy a new car. At least when I was giving to the TUF, the money (allegedly) went to scholarships.
Pretty sure this is the 335th "I'm out!" declaration.
Battie is a senior and would be gone after this year.Gen. you are aware that CTEAU practiced at Auburn, right?
Henderson is a 2025 recruit.
How would beefing up his recruitment help is at all with the Battie situation? Do you even math, bro?
