    Good first step. Implementing a union will be another matter.

    Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

    Your move, NCAA. Do you finally submit to the fact that you are a corrupt cartel, or do you continue to try to play this charade and end up losing control over everything?

    If he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to wrestle.

    But what happens when a whole team doesn't like it, and doesn't feel like playing an extra game that day? Such as a playoff or a bowl game?

    They don't have to play it! If they dont like it!! Only if they do.

    Oh, I don't. Blow it up.

    I'm just not worried about an AD getting a bonus.

    Wow. The next thing you know, CEOs and managers will be getting bonuses when their workers help the company have a good year. This could start a trend.

    Do you not understand the distinction?

    I understand they desperately want the appearance of a distinction.

    These aren't workers. They are "student-athletes".

    When you step back, and look at what is happening - an AD gets a fucking week's salary off the back of the unpaid champion wrestler - its preposterous.

    Blow the whole thing up.
