      ​@tribeofissachar7774 move to a society that doesn't have taxes then... they won't have roads, laws that can be enforced, and you'll need to hire private security because people will be constantly attacking one another for resources.
      The tax is theft is stupid especially when you compare how much capitalists take... which is far more then taxes.

    The more I think about it, the more I feel like UNLV was probably worried more players would want to get paid and so they tried to call the guy's bluff. UNLV can come up with $100k. That's like hiring an extra administrator on campus. They can find that money somewhere and they should have.

    • @jemazondo9331
      @jemazondo9331 Місяць тому

      Maybe they thought they’d have the money but something happened. It’s life. 💩 happens.
      This happens a lot to basketball players overseas. Some of those European countries are poor. They promise to pay a certain amount thinking they’ll have it but the country gets hit with economic troubles, and they simply can’t pay. Even the team owners will be broke sometimes. It ain’t like here in the US where the owners are all billionaires.

    Contracts need to be slotted for scholarships. Honestly I wouldn’t be mad if they were standardized to stop kids hunting money. It would still allow them to transfer for better playing situations and more playing time. It’s very hard to develop when you’re constantly bouncing around from school to school.

      You can only get an NIL deal once you’re enrolled. So before that, it’s a verbal agreement. You can agree on a number in January but come June when you’re officially enrolled in the school and name is on the roster, things could be different. Maybe they landed 2 more star transfers during that period and that number needed to change. 🤷‍♂️
