kids get what they can earn under set existing rules . . . when the USSC said there will be no rules on what they can earn, they playing by those rules . . . sorry that you liked the suppression of the NCAA better . . . it’s just not like that anymore . . .

I really don't give a ____ because I won't be participating.

hey, and that is perfectly ok . . . as grown adults we all do on a day by day basis what floats our boat . . . but condemning a system neither you or they can change and taking it out on those with Louisiana across their chest is probably not appropriate . . .

I'm not taking it out on the kids: I hope idiots give them millions.

When you are flat out paying a kid to play, it is no longer Name, Image, Likeness.

It’s semi pro sports.

Agree.

Recently read where the Ohio St athletic director stated they will be needing to reduce funding in several sports then reallocate those savings into certain sports' players to ensure they compete at the highest levels. This from a university with one of the highest athletic department budgets in the country. The athletic department leaders must decide in order to fully fund women's softball at higher levels, what other women's sports funding is decreased? Same question goes for men's sports. Painful but necessary. Some things gotta give.

This is just the beginning of the new era of collegiate athletics. With NIL and revenue sharing the question becomes how much money it will take to get the athletes necessary to field a championship caliber team for one season. Money from collectives, athletic foundations, and private equity firms. The financial gymnastics necessary for a trophy are about to become overwhelming.

Going forward, championships will not be won they will be bought. Hell, we are almost there now!

Coaches will try to buy players. If that is all you do then it will never work.

Damn, i thought only in state PT school was monroe

I think you’re mistakenly thinking about pharmacy school.

PT schools that I’m aware of in Louisiana: Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport (Franciscan Univ and LSU)

I believe there are online hybrid schools too, however I’m not as certain about those “online” options.

PT degree is a doctoral program, unlikely to earn doctoral degree for cost of MBA or even a law degree from a state public school for that matter.
