You are special. If an individual is given a scholarship for a free education in exchange for playing football, and proceeds to "go on strike" and not play football, he is not holding up his end of the agreement.
75 percent of those guys wouldn't be near a college campus if it were not for football.
Idiots. Tit sucking idiots

And what the hell is "backwards WV thinking" supposed to mean? How am I "backwards" because I'm from WV? I'm more educated than you. I'm much better travelled than you. I use better grammar than you. Of all the people to stereotype on the board . . .
One thing I'd like people to realize is that nobody gives a shit about the player. People are fans of the school. If Rakeem Cato protested & Blake Frohnapfel stepped in, would Marshall make any less money? We had a lot of players who were injured this year and a lot of other guys got kicked off the team. If it had been different those guys (AJL, Stew Butler, AJ Leggett, Devon Johnson, Clint Van Horn, & Michael Birdsong) not had played because they wanted to protest, would Marshall lose any money? I seriously doubt it. Go ahead and protest. People don't come to see you, they come to see the program. The program they watched 20+ years before you and the program they'll watch 20+ years after you. Players usually only make a meaningful impact at a school for 2-3 years, yet the schools have been making millions for many, many years.
You have an athletic scholarship. If you think that scholarship is a burden & you think you're getting a raw deal, leave the team and take out student loans for your education.

Do you? In the last year I've been to Jamaica, Mexico, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Alabama, Ohio, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. I take at least 2 international vacations per year.
Where've you been? Albany?
Fever still doesn't understand the difference between the ability to speak out on an issue and a "strike." Nor does he understand that student athletes - amateur athletes by every definition of the term - aren't "employees" under the NLRA. Therefore, any attempt to explain or further argue with him is futile.

Ok Lets see
Lets start with Countries
Been to Canada, Jamaica, Mexico, Aruba, Bahamas, England, Wales, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Monaco, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, Japan, So Korea. Going to Brazil next summer for the Olympics and South Africa next winter for my mothers 55th Birthday Celebrations. My European Trip was a Month Europe Summer Tour that I did in HS, and Japan and So Korea was a spring break trip.

In 3 weeks I will be moving to San Diego and doing a cross-country road trip going thru the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally reach California
Travelling is my second love and a family past time
Seems like they smartened up and pulled the Bill
http://www.richmond.com/sports/ap/article_132ba5e7-d421-563c-b51d-7d8fd48dd8a8.html
like i said, they pulled it only because they realized they (the state) had no control over the money going to pay the student athletes' scholarships, therefore couldn't pull them.
Does anyone find it odd Fever can't afford to move out of his mommys house but he can afford to travel the world? The stench of bullshit is stronger with every post.
Or maybe Im moving to San Diego here in a few weeks with Money that ive saved. When you don't have kids, its easy to travel when you want like how 2 weekends ago me and the misses took a tour of New England because I never been to Boston, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
Or maybe I was smart and paid off a Universal whole life policy with my student loan refund when I was 18 and 19 and now I can take loans out and collect the dividends.
Whole life insurance for an unmarried, single, young male with no dependents. Sounds like a great investment choice. I'm sure someone from Northwest Mutual or Edward Jones was quick to sell you that plan.
Did Fever just "like" being called a moron???
You paid off a bad investment with student loan funds so that you can now take out loans to travel and do stuff????? No wonder you've lived with mom until your almost 30
You've traveled the world but had never been to Boston, New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine??? Yep...smell of shit has worsened.
He also went to school with a guy that had a kid killed at Sandy Hook and a professor who was shot at Kent State.
Never had an interest to visit the region, and since I am moving across the country, I figured why not. Its only 4 hours away
Or maybe its a great investment for the long term for someone of my demographic. Insure my life while save money for my future to where I can travel like go to Brazil and South Africa.
You saw the "refund" and got excited but a term policy for your age demographic would be much cheaper
A term policy is much cheaper but there is no dividend options or Loan Money that I don't have to return to the policy as it would just be deducted from the Principle
Yeah I know how they work. Just save the money from a universal policy and use that as a loan to yourself you dumb ass. It's simple math
I'll commend you for the Roth and 401k.
However, the whole life post was sarcasm. Term is best for 99% of people.
Considering a whole life policy an "investment" is economic illiteracy at its highest level. State Farm saw a sucker a mile away.
They're criminal in selling these policies. State Farm and NW mutual tried to sell me this crap. I went home, read a couple of books, and my jaw hit the floor when I self educated.
Get this straight, there are no athletic "scholarships". They are grants-in-aid that are renewed annually though some schools are now guaranteeing all four years as a recruiting ploy. There is no scholastic litmus test for these awards only the minimum eligibility set by the NCAA or the individual institution.
First off, the white people I know in power would use better grammar than that. And second, college football games are huge investments by cities, counties & the state. If players are refusing to play, regardless of race, damn right they should face stiff consequences.
I listed the places I've been in the last 12 months. You listed every place you've ever been, and 15 places you're supposedly going to travel to. And the best part is your European trip (singular) [I go to Europe at least once per year] was a school trip.
Can you expand on "paying off" your whole life policy? You paid the entire policy in whole, for the rest of your life? And then can you explain how the dividends are substantial enough to travel the world?
This should be great . . .
Btw, I'm an insurance broker. You're an idiot for buying whole life insurance.
Surely reading comprehension is not your thing.
My tour of Europe was in HS trip was dually paid for by my family and my HS. Great Experience in my opinion
Aruba was a family vacation when I was 13
I got to Jamaica maybe every 3 years to visit family
Mexico I found a steal of a deal and took it. Went for my 27th Birthday
Japan and Korea was a Spring Break trip paid with money I saved from working.
Brazil is a trip me and the miss are saving towards.
I have an Uncle that lives in Canada
South Africa is a trip for my moms 55th Birthday and is Family Trip
Bahamas was a Family Vacation when I was 18
And all the states is because of Road Trips or where I lived in my life. Don't be mad at me because I like to travel
