There’s a fine balance. Keep their scholarship money the same and if they want to build their brand with a 3rd party - let them!

There will be problems going forward with NIL. The D1 institutions created this monster by chasing money by way of conference realignment, paying outlandish salaries to coaches,AD’s , etc. The players are only wanting part of the action.

If they do then they also should have to pay for their courses, no scholarships

This would make them professionals, just indirectly rather than direct sponsorship.

I'd rather see a state law prohibiting state employees from publicly supporting professional or college sports, that includes attending games.

99% have full scholarships, that is enough!! It is such a shame that so much is given to athletics.

Many people with scholarships have part time jobs. Are you saying that athletes don't deserve an alternate income source? That seems rather biased to me.

We're not the world's police and we executed those people in cold blood. If Venezuela wants to kill its citizens without proof and without a trial, then leave the US out of it.

Venezuela is helping the companies that make Narcan.

What do you think of demolishing part of the White House to build a ballroom?

I think if it were Obama, nothing would be said about it. I think just because it’s President Trump there is the hate that some have for him. Not this much controversy when all the other changes were done by other presidents. None of this is costing taxpayers as it has in the past.

Please provide an example of such an expansive change ... this ballroom is likely to turn out to be larger than the White House itself! I don't doubt we'll see a TRUMP sign on it before it is finished!

Trump is improving the White House, and he is using private funding to do that.

Right ... "private funding" in exchange for pardons and other favors. The more accurate description is BRIBES.

Separation of the rich and poor is getting wider. I was never invited to watch a movie in the movie room just like I'll never be invited to any dances.....I think we'd be better off if they tore down the west wing

It's history, it's respect and honor, the ballroom was never approved and the drawings show it overshadowing the White House itself. Awful
