      Yes, but they're barely tolerated.

        Breaking News

        The NCAA is finally embracing “change” and starting the process of allowing student-athletes to profit off of their name, image and likeness, the organization announced on Tuesday.

        “We must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes,” Board of Governors chairman and president of Ohio State University Michael V. Drake said in a statement. “Additional flexibility in this area can and must continue to support college sports as a part of higher education. This modernization for the future is a natural extension of the numerous steps NCAA members have taken in recent years to improve support for student-athletes, including full cost of attendance and guaranteed scholarships.”

            The story has changed since I posted the link. Including this new piece...

            Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., said scholarship money received by college athletes who take endorsement money should be treated — and taxed — like income.

            “If college athletes are going to make money off of their likeness while in school, their scholarships should be treated like income,” Burr said over Twitter. He said plans to introduce legislation that taxes scholarships for college athletes who choose to “cash in.”
            Say goodbye to college athletics if that ever happens.

              I see his point, BUT what about academic scholarships? Not a lot of "pro" money or "likeness" money in those scholarships. Leave the scholarships alone.

                I assume it's an intimidation tactic / diversion. It's a Republican pol from NC. Try to provoke a reaction then say "these spoiled athletes want the rights of a profession without the responsibilities." He doesn't even have to use the n-word.

                And as a last flailing maneuver he can try and hold all college athletes hostage.

                Slavery still has a lot of life left in it, no worries.

                  I'm guessing you're right.

                      I’ve been saying for a while now, “in 30 or 40 years, we’re going to look back on this with shame. Sending poor minorities to early deaths with little compensation except for an elite few just so us rich people can yell and scream for more violence. It’ll be looked at like see the gladiators in Rome.”

                        That's a pretty sad reply to this issue. Especially when his friends can gamble on stocks, and pay less than half their tax rate on earnings.

                        Tax the income from endorsements- that's the easy, and appropriate, button.

                          Not sure where to put this but it looks as though G/O may just have summarily executed Deadspin as they did Splinter. If you wander over there stuff is happening in Comments that looks like staff insurrection.

                          Petchesky, Magary, Roth et al. are the talent and they would be well served just to do a United Artists and do their own thing.

                            I saw trouble brewing over there the last few months. This new head honcho sounds like a real piece of sh-t. The ads thing was a final straw for both parties.

                            Sad.

                            Edit: I see dead spin is daring them to fire everybody.

                            https://deadspin.com/

                            That would be interesting. G/O is going to kill itself. Hopefully they’ll be able to reform at a new site. Deadspin, the writers, editors, and community are a national treasure.

                                It always amazes me about the people who write for those sites, brilliant, witty, acerbic, talented writers, who are at a very basic level dumber than my dog. Even my dog understands you don't bite the hand that feeds you. Go ahead and bite every other hand, but leave just that one alone.
                                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
