I don't disagree with the principle that the NCAA is corrupt and just out for money. Your racist take on it is what bothers me. Like it matters what color of skin the player has. White, brown and all other skin tones get taken by the NCAA equally. If you think blacks are the only ones taken advantage of in colleges then you aren't really looking. On topic, I wouldn't mind if all HS seniors avoided one and done. The whole thing is a joke.
You get mad at the reality. I know. The truth hurts. No one is talking about who's exploited. I'm talking about who DOES the exploiting. Say what you want but, It sure ain't rich black people. And frankly, I don't give a fuck if you're bothered about me speaking truth about power. People that have your take are part of the problem.
Not mad or hurt. Just can't believe anyone in this day and age believes there are no wealthy people of color making money from the NCAA basketball program, and also believes that all the white players must be getting a cut of the money as part of the process. Maybe you can explain to me how the minority athletic directors and university presidents fit into this system. I'm not arguing that the system is fully equal yet, but pretty sure Greg Anthony's kid is less oppressed than some poor white kid who grew up without a dad in rural Mississippi.
You sound like an idiot for posting this. Seriously... Where the fuck are you making this shit up from? Just another white guy that gets butthurt when someone speaks the truth about a plantation type system. Again, part of the problem...
He announced today that he's returning to school. Smart decision. He looked lost in the combine scrimmages. His offense has a ways to go. But the defensive upside is there. Someone was going to get a steal in the second round. He'll be a first-rounder next year IMO - a Goga Bitadze-like route.
With 25 in this draft from everything I've read at least....I'd trade the pick packaged with a salary dump trade to fill a role and free some money...if not, I'd look to European hoops for a diamond in the rough...some young guy poised to break out ...I miss Rasta posting links to those guys. Nurk probably knows who to check out

Goga Bitadze entered last year and pulled out late. Had he stayed in the draft he would've certainly been a mid to late second rounder. He's getting looks as high as #10 now.
They're not racist. Greedy, yes... Corrupt, most definitely... In need of radical changes, absolutely.... Not racist.
You can quickly tell who has no first-hand experience with the economics of college athletics. This has been common knowledge for several decades, but blowhards will still ignore it tomorrow.
I never once said they were. I said it's modern day slavery. When did I call it racist? Why because I said it's largely ran an old, white good ol boys club? Well isn't it? How is that me calling it racist? You're projecting.
I'm one of multiple people that interpreted what you said in that way, so maybe it was your phrasing.
What I said was: I never said it was racist. The NCAA is ran by a bunch of good ol boys. FACT. THE NCAA is exploiting black athletes in the guise of paying for school. FACT. So since I didn't include white athletes what I said was racist? Fuck outta here with that bullshit @Reep. And bones I never once referred to them as racist. I referred to THE SYSTEM being modern day slavery.
Theyre exploiting black amd white athletes, but you made it sound like they were only exploiting black athletes, which would be racist.
Untrue. Since I didn't include white athletes in my statement @Reep tried to call what I said racist and frankly that's just bullshit.
To add on to the old boys club style of it, an argument against paying players sometimes is ALL of the other sports, that generate little income. Tennis. Golf. Lacrosse. Swimming, etc. Those are able to exist solely on the backs of football and basketball, primarily. 2 sports that are predominantly black propping up predominantly white sports
