NCAA investigating Cam Newton

How is ESPN Dallas in the mix on this?

 

Fitzsimmons used to do radio at Finebaum's station in Bham.

 

Fitzsimmons worked in Birmingham for several years in two different stints (his latest ended about a year-and-a-half ago) and still has all kinds of contacts in the state.

EDIT: dh beat me to it.

 

So I get that Fitzsimmons didn't report a suspension. Why doesn't someone ask him what he was referring to when he said 'something BIG' would happen in the next few hours??

 

Cause it's more fun to speculate, apparently.

 

And yesterday, Fuckbomb bemoaned "journalists" who get things first and not right. Yeah dickhead, you're a pandering bottomfeeder too.
Fuckbomb is as reckless as they come...

 

i think i get the credit. i f'd it up when responded to a post, think it was qt law's.

 

The "problems" are that paying players would reveal the fundamental insupportability of college athletics as a going concern. Only by artificially limiting the earning power of athletes can athletic departments even operate with big losses.
The MORAL and ETHICAL thing to do is abolish scholarship intercollegiate athletics. If kids want to play ball, let 'em form their teams and buy 'em equipment out of activity fees. We only do it this way out of tradition. The European club system for major sports is far more honest a setup.
I don't propose abolishing college sports. I like them. But those sports could benefit from way less hypocrisy about how they operate. Adults tattling on each other indicates the whole deal is corrupt from jump street. Why not make it more like a real business, since it is a business?

 

None of this is an actual viable plan, idea, or response.

 

i pretty much think they should get paid something, maybe like 2k first year and 2k more each year after that, who knows. i would think that the college education is worth them playing for the school if the coaches didn't get paid so much. but it's hard to think a kid helps the coach get a multi-year multi-million dollar contract, gets hurt plays a couple seasons or none in the NFL and never makes more than 50K a year after that.

 

Not logical either.

 

You can pay 2k or 200k but the slimy little booster in the blazer will still look to up the ante.
