Isn't it funny how when you start treating college players like professional players that they start acting like professional players,

He gets paid to perform a task. He is a professional football player the same way players on the Akron Rubber Ducks are professionals.

EMU named Maxx Crosby assistant GM. I assume this role is more assisting the program in getting donations and appealing to recruits.

Several NBA players are also doing this for the basketball programs. Steph Curry and Trey Young.

Other than he's being paid much more than most of the Ducks players.

And is more famous. And gets better girls. I could go on and on with all of the "Ands". 

 

I never had much sympathy for college athletes taking a beating from fans and the media. They were famous adults and with that came some abuse. I've gone from not having much sympathy to having zero sympathy. If a 19 year old NBA, NHL or MLB player takes a beating from the media and fans, so can the new breed of college athletes.

Wouldn’t this be nice?!

When athletic directors see "other resources", I'm guessing that means solid gold toilets and urinals in the athletic practice facilities. 

 

The funny part is athletic directors created an illusion that all of the new found money flowing into college athletics would benefit the greater university systems. A lot of really smart people bought that crap. A lot of really smart people still buy that crap.
