Bentley IV RE: Program Culture

Massive, massive, massive hat tip to Ulysses in his media opportunity today. He could have very easily been sour and showed some real frustration in his answers but didn’t. He was very kind considering, said really nice things about Ole Miss and was a good soldier facing some playing time questions.

(Not posting the Ole Miss youtube link to it, Neal gets pissed about it and deletes them)

Google it or wait for the MPW digital upload

Finally catching up on OEP, and if there is no CBA in college athletics…

we are headed for a holdout/college athletics shutdown within 5 years if the Pavia lawsuit remains and they win similar in the future.

@Neal McCready said “why would the athletes ever collectively bargain?” Well, for one, there is no path to professional careers for 75%+ of football/basketball (the money makers for everyone else) whether that’s in professional sports or getting a college degree.

The universities need the sports, don’t get me wrong. It brings so much money through the university in other ways. But there is no other legitimate path to the NFL, and football is king in the U.S. . The NBA has formed a workaround for the elite — but those are few and far between — and baseball has the draft — but they can’t/won’t handle how many players are across college baseball, but like @Chase Parham said, the 75-80% who either make peanuts in NIL or need these scholarships to go to college would almost certainly majority overrule the minority who are creating the current chaos.

Thoughts?
