re: Nah F Reggie Bush

He made a bunch of white haired bowl executives and ADs tens of millions who otherwise are worth 1% of that in a legal system.

Those 'white haired' guys didn't make tens of millions. Reggie Bush was making more than they were. Cost of attendance at USC is like $70k /yr now...not sure what it was then, but it was still pretty expensive, and it was all free for Bush. Add all the stuff he was getting, illegally, and he was easily making more than his AD or these 'white haired' guys that run bowl games. Then look at the other players getting stuff, illegally, and you have a fundamentally unfair and uneven playing field.

Without those guys, where is Reggie Bush? You think millions of people are like, 'hey there's this guy at the park with a football and he's just running around like crazy, let's go watch this guy'?

Without Reggie Bush, those guys still organize bowl games and make money because people love CFB and they love their schools first and foremost, over and above any player. That's why Nebraska's stadium is full for the past 15yrs while they are hot garbage on the field.

One day, I hope a Reggie Bush type player walks away just prior to the season starting, and when his team still goes out there, still fills the stadium, maybe you guys will understand how it works in college sports.
