Pat Forde Breaks Down New Agreement To Allow Universities To Pay Athletes | 5/24/24

Yahoo Sports Pat Forde joins the Dan Patrick Show and breaks down the new agreement to allow universities to pay athletes

These really aren’t college sports anymore, they are club sports just like AAU vs high school, they shouldn’t be involved in academics. Universities are already strained financially

[@Mrcharles.]

Or it could be a minor league system for the NFL since they don’t officially have one.

Universities are raking in billions & have billions in their trusts, "financially strained".. LOL!

I know who Frank Deforde was. Great writer.

Welcome to FanDuel University Stadium

College athletes dont need to be called employees. There are many different ways to designate "workers." Employee is not the only designation.

Dan Jenkins, Bud Collins. I'll even give Rick Reilly props. Who is this clown?

[@toddm9501]

Patty forde? Who is this? Is this another Dem dan take. Does this person need a job? Or some training? I litterally have no idea who this is.

[@nolongerblocked6210]

Then that's on you, don't be so soft. Forde's been around & on this show for the last 15yrs

[@jackhoffmann8646]

Just call it semi pro NFL minor league. I will never watch college sports again.

[@Montfortracing]

It doesn't have to only be viewed that way. We're in this mess cuz colleges got money involved in college sports decades ago. And since then they've been making money from their athletes' play on the field. This was kinda inevitable. But it doesn't help when an incompetent organization like the NCAA always goes around and thinks they know what amateur sports is, when this whole time they really never knew what it was.
