Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 3160063, member: 212"] Again--I'm not talking at all about the current situation of D-I scholarship athletes. Rather, the Sowell proposition of "choosing what sounds good over what we know works." I tried re-reading this exchange, and I don't know how you could come to the conclusion that I'm trying to equate college athletes with the people who marched in Selma. My position on paying for "image, likeness. . ." is--I don't know. I think the system now in place is deeply flawed and unfair. But, I don't know how to fix it. Finally, your dismissal of strides made since and because of the Civil Rights Acts ("Where are we exactly?). I can tell you where we aren't--we aren't at separate drinking fountains, restrooms, and lunch counters. And, in 1964 Sowell and his predecessors said that what we had was working, or at least required no government intervention [/QUOTE]
