Bama Bo 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks for the info vatz. I never knew that those guys played Minor league ball while they were playing college football. I'm wondering why the NCAA will let them do that (Minor League Baseball is a profesional sport) and wouldn't let the guy from Colorado participate in the Pro Snow Boarding?

Most of your Pro Snow Boarders get paid by people who sponsor them. Just a guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Bloom was receiving endorsments, not a salary. Had he been employed by a certain entity for the specific reason of only skiing, then he would have been OK. The fascist NCAA determined that his popularity in football could have increased his endorsements, therfore getting paid to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 This thread has gone this far and no one has mentioned Marshawn Lynch from Cal? Forget Peterson, I'd rather take Lynch...dude is 220-225lbs with jets, moves, and vision. His running style is also less taxing than Peterson's, who runs too upright and faces injury concerns.
