OT: Calipari Clamors for NCAA Change

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

He likens the NCAA to the dying Soviet Union... Thinks it should be like this:

 

 

• Players should receive stipends of $3,000 to $5,000;

• The NCAA should cover eligible players' insurance premiums;

players should have access to lawyers and be compensated to buy formal attire when representing the school, and that families should be able to buy championship rings.

• Athletes should be able to accept loans up to $50,000 against future earnings;

• If a coach leaves an institution, players should be able to transfer from that program without having to sit out a season;

• Athletes should be allowed one round-trip flight home every year.

The only things I agree with is a round trip flight home and covering players' insurance

Formal attire?  Noel's Rolex wasn't good enough?

I actually agree with most of this. Just not sure how you would figure out the stipend system, but the money is there where it could be done.

I don't think ky boosters would be happy with this unless it was clearly stated that these perks were "at minimum".
