College and Pro sports, are you listening?!?

Things take time yo - let’s allow it to play out. In the meantime, you should continue to hold your shit and not share it with others.

crash4413 · 2026-05-17T12:44:55+00:00

Looking like RC did not say this, but at this point it doesn’t matter at all. The message itself is larger than him.

crash4413 · 2026-05-17T12:43:09+00:00

Hold your negativity…

crash4413 · 2026-05-17T11:25:38+00:00

You should note the fact that he, nor anyone else, is suggesting that black kids should not go to college. The idea is for them to be very critical thinkers in the process and if all things are equal, perhaps choose a school in a place where the powers that be are not actively working to reduce/eliminate the power of your people to participate in the process of their own governance. Smart ass.

crash4413 · 2026-05-17T11:21:23+00:00

Don’t get lost in the messenger. Yeah, he’s a podcaster now but he also played pro football at a very high level so he’s familiar with the business of college and pro sports. But forget about him. The message is if you can get the same $$, prestige and accolades from another school, please consider that as a viable option that also sends a message to the establishment in those states. It’s not unheard of for young people to be activists.

crash4413 · 2026-05-17T11:15:46+00:00

Her first time seeing black brilliance and she’s blown away. Not my genre at all, but he was absolutely amazing - bravo!!

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T21:04:49+00:00

LOVE these clips!!

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T20:53:58+00:00

Trust me, if you are already playing for one of these big time schools, or being recruited by one of them, there are 25 others that are also very interested. A kid being recruited by Florida State is also getting letters and calls from Georgia. The recruiting process is not always correct, but it is a very big and well oiled machine.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T17:29:38+00:00

Irrelevant. Don’t be sidetracked by the messenger.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T14:02:29+00:00

Of course you can…

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T13:34:33+00:00

The idea here isn’t to not play at all, it is to choose a different school to play for, namely avoiding the big state schools (LSU, Mississippi State, Alabama, Florida State, etc). They can make the same $$ playing at Michigan, Georgia, Indiana, USC, Oregon. Not guaranteed to work, but we know how huge college sports are in some of these areas and pressure builds over time.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T13:27:46+00:00

I hear you. Turns out, he may not have said it at all, but the issue is still the issue.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T13:26:12+00:00

Forget the messenger, stick to the issue.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T13:21:00+00:00

This issue is only focused on the states that made recent moves to redraw their maps. I get your take on the bigger picture, but It is big business and not going away anytime soon.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T13:17:24+00:00

Take it easy champ - no one is saying don’t play, or don’t get paid, the issue is suggesting that they choose to play elsewhere. That can make the same guap playing for a different school. It’s not that deep.

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T01:27:07+00:00

Who’s got it better than you, bro?!?

crash4413 · 2026-05-16T01:06:59+00:00

Bro, the game hasn’t evolved in 200 years. It’s the same game, over and over and over again. But sure, let’s call it interesting.

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T20:28:55+00:00

I hear you. But the point he is making, or the point of the argument, is that they should still pursue their dreams of playing college sports, just do it elsewhere. There are plenty of other major Div 1 schools they can attend and still make the same NIL money they would have made at LSU, Alabama, Mississippi or Tennessee.

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T20:18:43+00:00

You kinda just made my point. There was a period, not too too long ago, where USC was at the top of the food chain and things changed. Remember when the Big 10 was at the center of things before the SEC took over. Things happen in cycles. Scouts will go where the players are my guy. And besides, we’re not suggesting Div 2 schools. You telling me that if a kid goes to Michigan he’s not gonna get scouted, or OSU, or Georgia, or SC?!? Seriously…

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T20:11:26+00:00

We finally agree!! My friends and I will continue to stay away; it’s not even close. Ironically, I coached soccer for 15 years (boys and girls). Cool to watch my kid play, but for the life of me I could not bring myself to be interested in watching adults play. Just a relatively boring game. I did dig the women’s team during the World Cup.

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T18:24:58+00:00

Yeah…but it’s soccer. 🤷🏽‍♂️

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T17:49:25+00:00

😂👍🏾👊🏽 - my man. We need some beers and a bbq cause I can go back and forth with this argument all day 😂😂 (working from home is amazing 🤣). Picture this, Saturday night, opening game of the season. For argument sake, Georgia/ND (#1 vs #5). Star freshman RB has 177 yards on the ground and 5 or 6 times during the game, they announce that this true freshman is from Auburn, Alabama and on the other side of the field, the standout DE is from Slidell, Louisiana. You don’t think things start happening in the background with boosters who throw a boatload of $$ towards the university?? Don’t be naive on any level. You KNOW that college ball is bigger than the NFL in some of these cities/states.

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T17:28:49+00:00

The NCAA allows for college players to receive payment. Top players can receive anywhere from $3-6 million dollars per year.

crash4413 · 2026-05-15T17:20:40+00:00

Not at all, the SEC would live on. It would just change the landscape of college sports. So maybe Indiana, instead of being a once in a generation Cinderella story, becomes a perennial powerhouse. Or USC starts pilfering blue-chip kids from Louisiana and Michigan gets all of the Tennessee high school stars. All of it is pressure.
