    -I only see two possible scenarios if he Becomes a Billiken (as we recruited him out of high school), Gus pronounces his name as spelled and Kofi walks off the floor, ala Orlando Stewart or whoever it was, never to be seen again - OR - Kofi goes to Gus and pummels him and 10,000 people in the arena all claim that "I see nothing" and Gus never returns

    -I would guess there would be a way to donate to the family that gets released, if not, if Steve would collect contributions and donate in the name of Billkens.com that might be nice

    -My disagreement isn’t as much on the ability of student athletes to get paid under the NLI as it is on your description that the NCAA’s amateurism model is a sham and has been hurting athletes for too long.  How many student athletes, millions? hundreds of thousands? certainly the number is at least in the thousands, have received athletic scholarships to get a college degree.  I don’t have stats for this but some or many came from backgrounds without the means to afford the cost of college and that degree gave them a chance they wouldn’t otherwise have had. 
    -Student-athletes did get a lot in return for scoring touchdowns, making baskets, or whatever their sport involved.  For many years they have gotten tutoring not otherwise available to other students.  Training tables.  Medical care.  Clothing and shoes.  Tuition, room and board.  All of this, and probably more not coming to mind, tax free.
    -These kids are not lining up to get kicked in the gut or worse.  Far from it.
    -If these kids didn’t know the rules before they went to school, that is on them, their high school, their parents, handlers, coaches or whoever.  There has been a substantial benefit to so many student athletes through athletic scholarships affording them the chance at a college degree.  To call that a sham and that athletes have been hurt by it rings hollow to me.
    -For those attending college just to play sports, I think college is not the place for them or that. 
    -But it seems you have a different view of the value of the current situation, which I am not saying is perfect.  I don’t think you can change my mind like I probably can’t change yours.  That’s okay.
    -If you want to debate the integrity, honesty, usefulness of the NCAA, you will get very little debate from me.  That organization lost its way somewhere along the line, yeah probably by chasing dollars, that whatever changes get forced on it are of its own making.

    -I hope whoever was grading Yuri's defense factored in the number of charges he took, I guess he was team leader in that stat, if it is kept
