If that’s the case, that’s a big indictment of his “brand”.He’s got some added motivation there. If they lose nobody will care what he says except all the crazy people here.

Right on!Enjoy the game in your miserable pathetic life. Most of these kids have 3-4 years in the sun to make a few bucks then they will be out in the real world trying to make a life.
Why grown men mostly white males feel entitled to regulate the thoughts and actions of these mostly black athletes is a text book case of white privilege.
Funny thing about that is, if what you say about their intentions were even true, which I doubt, then it’s only the angry complainers in this thread, or on social media, that are allowing themselves to be manipulated into being miserable for no reason.I think this was the intention. Miserable people want everyone else to be miserable too. These kids are miserable; it's obvious. They aren't happy and they want everyone else to be as unhappy - that's the point of being divisive and creating strife on the eve of the happiest night in thirty years for the program and the fanbase. I said it in the other thread ... I feel bad for them.

If adults are so weak-minded that the essentially meaningless tweets of college kid can make them feel miserable, that’s way more reflective of those adults than it will ever be of the players, regardless of the player’s (unknowable) purported ulterior motives.
Whatever happened to people’s sense of personal responsibility? Geo is not responsible for making everybody happy or miserable. We each have the choice to decide how to feel.
I feel great, by the way. 😀
Beat Clemson!
I wasn’t taking a swipe at him, just the way it is imo.If that’s the case, that’s a big indictment of his “brand”.
You people are crazy...lol
Except they already are paid. It's called the Cost of Attendance stipend that athletic scholarship holders get that no one else on scholarship does plus all the perks athletic scholarship holders get that other scholarship holders don't.Crazy in that when watching a sport the salary or lack there of does not impact my assessment of the play on the court?
Crazy that anybody would want the kids to not be able to get paid.
Yes, he and Harper instead of complaining,could have put all that time into their game .(there was plenty of time because of Covid.)Hey Geo. Lead us to the Final Four and you'll be on the biggest stage imagined.
Plus we will have accomplished something as a team.
CEO’s are already being paid, too. Should they never lobby their board for compensation increases?Except they already are paid. It's called the Cost of Attendance stipend that athletic scholarship holders get that no one else on scholarship does plus all the perks athletic scholarship holders get that other scholarship holders don't.
It's why the comparison of athletic to academic scholarships as apples to apples is flawed and makes the person making the comparison either sound uninformed or a straight up liar.
There is definitely no momentum on the side of the athletes. I think we should continue pretending it is better for courts and Congress rather than the NCAA to figure this out.
Are you really posting a tweet from Corey Booker
Except part of Geo's argument is that other scholarship holders get all these opportunities to cash in while he can't. I guess he can't because he's already been paid and he signed the paperwork agreeing to that deal. He's not getting rich to be sure but neither is the kid tutoring or giving trumpet lessons.CEO’s are already being paid, too. Should they never lobby their board for compensation increases?
What about folks earning $100K per year who’ve inherited millions from dead relatives? Should they not ask for a pay raise and just be happy with what they already have, just because other people aren’t so lucky?
Why are we to decide who is and isn’t allowed to seek more control over their lives or a bigger piece of the financial pie? How would you respond to someone trying to say you already have enough and should stop seeking more of anything?

Makes no difference how much we concentrate, it is the players who need to focus on their game the other stuff can wait.Can’t wait until we finally make the Dance so we have real basketball to concentrate on.
Worker bees were covered in my "makes 100K and inherited millions" example.Except part of Geo's argument is that other scholarship holders get all these opportunities to cash in while he can't. I guess he can't because he's already been paid and he signed the paperwork agreeing to that deal. He's not getting rich to be sure but neither is the kid tutoring or giving trumpet lessons.
For about $6.5K a year (directly into his pocket) Geo signed his NIL away for a chance to elevate his game to the point he can profit from it in the future. He's mad about that now but his comparisons of the scholarships are purposefully disingenuous and at least for some who've paid their own student debt and now have children whom they are supporting that becomes... upsetting.
Geo is not CEO in this example. He's a worker bee who signs a yearly contract to work at his craft in order to elevate his team as a whole in hopes that after 4 years or less his skills will be good enough to get his foot in the door of the Fortune 500.
Does you care what ANY politician thinks?LOL - nobody cares what Corey Booker thinks.
Does you care what ANY politician thinks?
Does you care what ANY politician thinks?
Okay. That's reasonable. I personally don't really care very much what any of them say, right, left, or center.If Schumer and/or Pelosi said they had the votes to pass something, I'd care. If McConnell said he was going to throw Republican support at something the Democrats were trying to pass, I'd care.
Senator NoName's opinion? Yeah, I don't care. There are literally three people making all of the decisions and I just named them above.
I’ll end this thread by saying I’ve been in this business for 30 years.
No one should ever lose control of their own image and likeness, you’re born with it, it’s your intellectual property and belongs to you and no one else.
Period end.
That’s all Geo wants, has no interest in being paid to play as many on here mistakenly think.
Absolutely no one has the right to use your name and likeness without your consent and permission.

I thought that is what the school gives them in turn for their athletic ability to represent the school.That's what you give them when you agree to take a sports scholarship.
It’s a complicated topic. I’m sure more could be done to make it equitable.I thought that is what the school gives them in turn for their athletic ability to represent the school.
the NCAA should just setup a trust for kids for after college with funds earned from NIL or something along those lines. Sort of like with football that you earn that if you stay within college for at least 3yrs or whatever. Again I’m only thinking out loud to make it fair to student athletes. Not an entire solution to account for camps and things like that
That will and should change.That's what you give them when you agree to take a sports scholarship.

Almost surely correlated to the cost of living at said school.Do you realize how small that stipend is at some schools?

Here's a good question that I legit do not know the answer to; In normal times do the players live on campus or off campus?
Not according to the formula I read.it is on the order of $2000 a year at most places, a smidge more at others
All the morons in this thread have been dismissed !Hey look at who showed up tonight
All the morons in this thread have been dismissed !
Baker hit the 2 biggest shots in the past 40 years . GTFO
Lol !!!! It’s timeAgree or disagree maybe not the time for this?
Best team in years and you don’t like them ??? Get outta hereI couldn't care less if they win tomorrow. We have an incredibly unlikable team and part of me looks forward to booing geo each and every time he sets foot back in the rac if he loses this game for us. The only one I'm rooting for is Jacob young, a true man of business who keeps his stuff in check and plays hard every night
I hope he's prepared for his legacy to be one of the most despised RU players in our history. Hopefully he is aware that's what awaits him if we do not win after this shitstorm he cooked up.
IMO, Geo has soured this entire ncaa experience. I have liked teams that haven't gone to the ncaa much more than this one.
