Look, this is going to come out as an attack and i really dont mean it as such, but between your take that NIL will bring nothing but harm to communities of color and that not earning an ivy degree is a 100% mistake you may just want to take half a step back and consider not everyone shares your views and values

I enjoy reading many of your posts and I guess we are here to express our opinions. But it seems you never consider the world does not bring the same set of history, experiences and assumptions as you do to the issues of the day

My last ivy football fan season is right around the bend. Wish my guy could have scored some of those sweet NIL bucks. But i am looking foward to seeing how the lions do this Fall and shortly thereafter writing my final tuition check. Basketball talk always gives me heartburn anyway

As I said earlier in this thread, I agree with your point completely. There are 330 million people in this country and 8 billion of us around the world. That's a lot of personal histories and personal experiences which shape each individual.

Having said that, I do believe in playing the odds. Each player who transfers or drops out or quits the team but becomes team manager for two years may be making the best decision for him or herself. But, out of 100 Vernon Collins's who transfer from the #1 university in this entire country to a school which I had never heard of before this week, 80 of them are making a bad mistake.

I hope that *THIS* Vernon Collins is one of the 20.

Congratulations on being so close to writing your last tuition check. I wish your son and the Lions a healthy and fulfilling season.

Here's a song that I find quite meaningful. I hope it has the same effect on you. Enjoy your last season of Ivy football. All my best as you approach the finale against Cornell, AO
