Correct me if I'm wrong, but reading that, I get the impression that any money earned would be taken OUT of the scholarship money that the institution would be providing? So, "congrats on earning 5 grand last month, son. That's 5 grand less that the college is going to give you now.... " That article came out after my buddy graduated, so, guess I just showed you how old I am.

Yeah, my good friend was a schollie athlete at Wright State, and the rules state that you are NOT ALLOWED to have a paid job while on Scholarship for athletics. It's kind of dumb, really.

The change that needs to happen is that scholarship athletes need to be allowed to have jobs, just like folks on academic scholarships. Fine to not pay these folks (beyond all of the perks that they are already getting), but at least let them do some earning away from school.

Man, nice. Best of Luck.

Ok, excellent. I am going to be forwarding this to someone I know who is looking. Thank you, sir.

College players ARE paid for their likeness and autographs. College is EXPENSIVE, especially at some of these larger institutions. These kids, many of whom would not have been able to get in otherwise, are able to take advantage of that and graduate debt free, whether they make the NFL or not. If you look at this as an employer/employee relationship (which it essentially is), then how many employers do you know that are willing to let you just own your own ip that you developed while working for them? None that I am aware of. These kids have signed a "contract", and they have stated that they are willing to accept the salary that is offered (the tuition number). Why should they be paid anything else?

Hilarity.

Sir, is this position still available?

+1 for Miller. There is no catch, he's legit.

Yikes. That is getting a bit wacky, with exactly ZERO games played.

Hand thing is stupid.

Nope, I actually dig those uni's. I am in the same boat as Tilley on this. I was merely pointing out the fact that Oregon pretty much never wears the same uniform twice, so, people are ALWAYS talking about the "new uniforms". I am all for traditions, but I don't think it extends to uniforms, really. We could wear all grey for the first game, and guess what, we would still be playing in the shoe, you would still see script ohio, and a sousaphone player would still dot the "I". None of that is affected in the least bit by what we wear on the field. I love seeing OSU mix it up with the Pro Combat Uni's.

...said everyone, every week of college football season.

I dug the vw one. Not so much the rest.

Hey, I have a desk that looks just like that! I just play video games from mine, though.

The point he make sin that article about the money is exactly the point I was making earlier in this thread. Money, to a guy like that, is not a resource, it's a way to keep score.

Wow. I leave to deal with ONE minor emergency, and this is what happens? I was gonna put together a real nice retort for Fill, but it looks like he won't be reading it. I'll try not to drown in my tears of sorrow.

If I am entitled to anything, it's because I have earned it. You rappin on me because I "don't contribute" is like Lil Wayne saying Grandmaster Flash did nothing for hip hop. You want a better site, that's all about "racing"? Do any search for "Columbusstreetracing" or "raceclub", those are two fine examples of "evolutionary" success in the racing site world. Tell me Fillup, have YOU ever indulged yourself non-racing topics? You HAVE? Oh Heavens, see how the mighty have fallen! You would fuck a drunken goat, you backwards ass crack baby. Let's stop pretending you wouldn't.

Fill, turn off your computer before you hurt yourself. You didn't laugh at anything I said because you are too dumb to understand anything I said. Kenny may be a troglodyte, but at least he get's the jokes. Also, you have to be the very epitome of stupid to misunderstand that it was KENNY's join date that was being referenced there. Back on your fucking porch, kid. If I need any "slump busters" banged, I'll give you a call.

Jesus Christ, Chris Carter looks like Kimbo Slice....

As I work in Energy Sales, of course I did some research into this when Eli first told me about it. He can answer this for the Bloom box in a more technical way, but just to give you some perspective, the markets where this is a feasible alternative have some similar characteristics; "dirty" power (as in, lots of fluctuations in the flow) from the grid, lack of redundant infrastructure, and expensive generation and transmission costs. The HEAT rate for a bloom box, near as I can tell, is about 10 cents per kWh. Here in the Midwest, where we have tons of generation and transmission, and not as much consumption, our prices from any alternative supplier are going to be between 5 and 8 cents per kWh. There are numerous other attractive things about this system that you could use as selling points; no distribution costs, can go off the grid, could sell back to the grid, pretty much never goes out, etc., but this will REALLY take off when the technology can get that HEAT rate down to about 7 cents.

Not only do I expect people to judge me, I DESIRE for them to. That is, essentially, what e-battles like this are all about. Right now, the judgment of the people is that I am a funny and smart asshole, and you...are just an asshole. Go ahead, ask around, I'll just chill here and wait. I believe that like I believe that Nixon was "Not a Crook". It is really cute how you are spinning this like you were trying to incite something with me the whole time. As If I was just waiting for a Kennypowers troll to come along to hit it. I was bored and CB was dead, and you happened to step on your dick in front of everyone. All I have been doing is leading the "Pointing and laughing" contingent since this whole thing popped off. Besides, you aren't smart enough for that shit. Nothing you have said in any of your posts in this thread is any smarter or more developed than anything else you have ever said on CR, I just happened to notice it at last. LOL @ "member since 2003", and I am just now noticing you are here. Kenny and his crew... http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/bmn_electricboogaloobreakin2-splash_zps7cc7271b.jpg

Bullshit. There isn't enough money in the entire city of Detroit to support one Starbucks, let along one that let it's fruity ass 80's workers roller skate around in it all day. Here we go again...I JUST FUCKING SAID THAT I MADE AN INCORRECT ASSUMPTION, based upon your patent inability to complete a sentence without a grammatical error. DJ - "I need to lose some weight." Kenny - "YOUR FAT!" (italicized for accuracy) DJ - "Yes, motherfucker, I just said that." Not everyone, but the vast majority. Finally, we agree on something. Am I posting un-kitchen appropriate things? I am busting your ass for being an overzealous and undereducated boil on the ass of what is already a boil infested, large assed organism full of overzealous, undereducated types. The only thing serious about this entire discussion is how seriously you misjudged your audience, your importance, and your ability. The CB has been clowning you this whole time. What have I fallen victim to? It can't be as bad as you believing that I am actually teaching kids using lessons provided by you. Like I would expose anyone impressionable to your buffoonery.

Stop it, we all know you don't work at Starbucks. I hear the coffee at UDF is pretty good, though... To the contrary, had you not misspelled my good man Chubb's name, I would have taken it as a compliment, seeing as how he was an MIT student who dropped out to get into music. If I had an inclination that you were not only intelligent, but subtle, I may also have inferred that you were harping on me to "Treat'em Right". Unfortunately, this is not the case, as you are neither. I am fat. I got nothing on that one. I meet my subject matter where it is. If I studied criminals, I'd work in a prison. If I studied politicians, I'd hang out in Washington (or a prison, either way). As I seem to be enthralled by morons, I hang out on a car forum. I would have chosen a boating forum, but even I have standards. Kenny, goddammit, can you fucking read? I JUST FUCKING TOLD YOU where I got that imagery. BRB, waiting for Kenny to ask me if hangin out on a car forum helps me find idiots.... Bro, do you even skate? Although I confess to being fat, I am , happily, devoid of "cankles". Can anyone argue that the tone of my discourse so far has been anywhere near the vehemence spewed all over us in Kenny's posts? My butt, as it were, is not hurt. Not even a little bit. This is, at best, a pleasant diversion from what had been a mediocre workday. YOU, sir, are just entertaining me, really. Like a depression era child with a cog dancer, watching you shimmy takes my mind off of the tedium of office life for a bit. For that, I thank you.

Oh SNAP.
