this ... Lavar has big dreams and goals ...cant knock the hustle but he a habitual line stepper and gets in his own way ...

LMAO at those calling lavar an entrepreneur or saying gotta respect his hustle. No different than a 5 yr old coming up to you and asking you to give him money. GTFO with that bullshit.

I’m not arguing that players should be kept from branding and earning money while enrolled and playing but I imagine it has a lot to do with a universities inability to regulate what kind of reflection that hypothetical brand of their student has on the school.
Why exactly is a scholarship not enough compensation???

---

If it’s a one and done player a scholarship isn’t enough compensation because that kid isn’t going to be using the scholarship. It would make far more sense to pay him money. On top of that these players are generating millions of dollars of revenue while basically playing for free. Scholarship is nice for the 4 year player who has no chance of going pro, but for pro bound players it really doesn’t make sense. If you know you are pro bound you are never using that degree tbh

That’s the motivation to stay the 4 years, players wanna take a gamble on themselves and try to make a pro career then more power to them. Hopefully they won’t ever need the college degree that they were offered for playing.

Where do you think the money goes that “these player generate”? It costs millions of dollars to run a program, fund team travel, arena, program staff, marketing. The program itself is almost entirely funded by the money the program generates. Y’all really don’t have any idea how any of this works. :rolleyes

That's dumb. He's an idiot.

The day Lonzo tells this ass-hat he calls a Dad to piss off, is the day he has a shot at a decent pro career..

Who the hell Yanks a 16 year old kid out of HS to go and play pro ball overseas? He never finishes HS and even plays 1 minute in college, to play for some dog shit pro team overseas, and this fucking idiot thinks that is going to impress pro scouts and get him drafted in the first round. Nobody is ever going to touch a Ball ever again anywhere in the NBA because of him. His boys can thank him for this..

Your not really going to pretend schools don’t turn a huge profit on their basketball and football programs are you? Specifically big schools. Fucking Christ, talk about delusional. I’m done with this convo your clearly a lost cause

Lavar is trying to build his own brand and using his kids to do it. He doesn't give two shits about the normal way, he sees it as making everyone rich besides his own family. I get it, but someone who has a shot at a pro career cannot afford what Lavar is doing to them. Lavar doesn't understand the difference between "rich" and "wealthy". He's penny wise, pound foolish.

I see your back at it attempting to protect the brotha from the white man...lol. The guys a big mouth idiot and lucked out having one son in the NBA. I seriously doubt the other two are on anyone's draft radar and Lonzo might be out of the league in a few years unless he learns to shoot.

Yeah they do, and why shouldn’t they? Where else does motivation come from to develop a winning program? Generate funds, excess funds, and generations of rabid fans and enrollees

Wow that was easy :lmao

Whitlock said it best: "his narcissism and selfishness destroyed a franchise." And he wasn't referring to LeGOAT. :downspin:

He was right about KobePERIOD

Whitlock

Also who will watch this shit?? No allegiance to a team. People typically root for a university due to being alumni or having some type of history with a program. Even if it’s just bring a fan. That alone Trumps Lavars idea. No name teams with scattered future stars. I can’t see it working.

At least in the NBA players and coaches are paid roughly proportionally to their impact on winning.

If the same was true of the NCAA and their coaches were still making big bucks it's all good. But coaches making millions and players not being allowed to get any (serious) cash is awful imo.
