Paying players directly will spread talent around college sports, not concentrate it at the top schools

I differ with that viewpoint. I think most reasonable economists would tell you that's not how it's going to work. What being able to pay is going to do is spread talent around more. It is not gonna concentrate talent... Talent will be spread around. We've already seen it with NIL.

This is a debated economic theory in the context of sports; time will tell if parity increases as pay-for-play becomes more formalized.

The 2024 Masters will have an asterisk because Taylor Gooch wasn't invited

Taylor Gooch was interviewed... and he said he's going to be an asterisk. It's just a reality. Taylor Gooch will always remember as the Masters that didn't have Taylor Gooch.

The 2024 Masters took place without an official asterisk, and Scottie Scheffler's win is generally considered legitimate.

Fans don't belong on the court ever and players don't belong in the stands ever

my perspective is fans don't belong on the court ever. And players don't belong in the stands ever. That's, I don't think that's a controversial thing.

Several million college students across America disagreed.

Someone will eventually get seriously injured during a court storming

It's dangerous, man. Yeah. and it is. It's dangerous now. And we've had significant injuries over the years... Something bad's gonna happen. And when it does, we're gonna have the audacity to be surprised at it.

While several minor injuries occurred (like Kyle Filipowski's sprain mentioned in the episode), a 'catastrophic' event hasn't yet ended the practice nationally.

Using the word 'disingenuous' is the same as calling someone a liar

Ingenuous means lying... No, I think what it meant is not only did you not know what disingenuous means, I did... Disingenuous is calling somebody a liar.

Disingenuous typically means insincere or not candid, often by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does. While it implies dishonesty, it is not strictly synonymous with 'lying.'
