Encouraging black student-athletes to take bullshit Swahili courses is the kind of institutional prejudice which might well turn up in one of their African American Studies courses.
His segment on Fifa was good as well.

Actually every episode of this show is great.
This show has been under the radar one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. This guy is on point 95% of the time
First, a polite "fuck you Druff".
Druff has started more than one thread with a clip from John Oliver. In which he agrees with Oliver's position.Quote:

It would have taken a little edge off the comedy but Oliver never mentioned the other Oliver in the NCAA piece. Oliver Luck. QB Andrew Luck's Rhodes Scholar, ex QB, lawyer father.
Oliver Luck is second in command at NCAA and was offered the position despite his well known position regarding college student compensation. EA's names, images and likeness lawsuit loss. Wisconsin's loss regarding athletes union organizing. Etc. etc.
The money is gonna come.
NCAA president's bullshit about how most schools don't make money with athletics. I have always loved the bus ride lower Division I basketball teams make to top tier programs.
Question: why you guys playing that team?
Answer: yeah, we are gonna get crushed but our school gets $100K from the ranked school for the night.
You don't have to be a college finance major to spot the quick buck.
John Oliver is clutch every Sunday.

SalmonR on John Oliver/Druff tilt
Nobody is holding a gun to these kids head to play for "free". They are having the time of their lives playing college sports. For the vast majority (99%) this is the highest level of sports they will ever attain.
If this free education isn't compensation enough for them, they can quit college, try to make a pro team, or find a job in the real world.
Also, WernerŪ ladders are excellent ladders.

The list of opposing viewpoints have grown to include legalized sports betting, paying college athletes and John Oliver.
He has never commented on BrBa or BCS. There are only two kinds of people in this world pal.

Am I wrong BNP? I think a cup of hot chocolate is $10 at stadium.
The athletic budget is $340 million.
We won't even talk about Harbaughs salary. But frankly he prolly is worth every penny considering how small $8 million a year is as a percentage of the overall dollars involved in athletics budget and the influence he has on further growth.
As silly as Harbaugh's salary sounds - the best part is some donor is gonna get jacked about Michigan just cause he's there and donate $20 million - more than covering his contract.
But the player that everyone comes to see (they are not there to see Harbaugh) should get zero?
You afraid Michigan might not be able to make it if they paid the kids? Yeah, me too.
Yes, college athletes need to be paid, because most college athletes aren't actually students. They are accepted to the school only for their athletic ability, slipped through classes via useless majors and/or rigged grading, and only exist to make money for the school.
The only argument used against paying college athletes is, "But that would make them pro."
But they already are pro.
The education they get is useless, because most of these guys are not college types and likely couldn't hack any kind of career connected with the degree they receive.
Once schools substantially started lowering their admissions standards in order to get the best athletes playing for them, the argument of "B-b-b-but these guys are students, not pro athletes!" goes out the window.
The fact that college athletics brings in so much money makes this situation even more obnoxious.
Time to drop this whole sham of believing the NCAA is a collection of college students playing one another, and accept the fact that these are pro athletes on the way to top-level professional sports, temporarily representing a school.
Pay the men their mahney.
You are as good as your last post, Druff.
Only issue I take is the inference that most college athletes aren't worthy university material.
First we accept that university degrees in general have diminished in value across the board.
I will, in turn, accept colleges don't give one shit if you are anything more than meeting minimum requirement.
Lotta schools go through the motions of requiring kids to sit in a monitored study hall a minimum number of hours each day unless you achieve a certain GPA.
The correlation between athletic ability and intelligence isn't inverse.
Regardless, the NCAA has rules regarding the maximum number of hours an athlete can participate in practice/training/games per week.
The major sports are almost all about 40 hours. I think baseball is 41.6 this year. I don't care if you are a bright prep school kid. It is rough to apply the proper effort a rigorous course load requires.
Throw the kid on a bus for a road trip and he isn't even on campus much less class.
I think Richard Sherman spoke about this in video. He is no dummy. Legit Stanford student. He nailed it.
So yeah, the degree offered is kinda worthless cause it is impossible by the NCAA rules to take full advantage.
As much as everyone wants to claim the NCAA is bullshit for not paying the student athletes, can someone actually post a realistic solution?
I've yet to ever hear one. All I hear is that the NCAA is screwing over the athletes. How do you possibly pay athletes? Do they ALL get the same amount? If different, how do they get paid and how much? Do small schools get fucked because they cant pony up millions for some 4 star recruit?
It's not always inverse, but it is frequently -- or at least it is regarding book intelligence.Quote:

What I do know is that a college "athlete" being a good high school student with a high SAT score is the exception, not the rule.
And you definitely have players on every team who would have missed university admissions by a mile, if they weren't good athletes. That by itself is an indictment of the farce that is "college athletics".
