That's an urban myth

Let's make a list, a list of Missouri state employees who make 9-million (or more) a year: We'll make it a game. I'll name one and then you name one. I'll start:

Your turn.

The fix was easy, just let kids go to the nfl whenever they wanted. There was no legal reason for this restriction.

How does that fix anything?

Most of these kids aren't ready for the NFL. Team's would still be offering the moon, sun, and stars to sign top-notch, five-star prospects.

There would be no lawsuits against the ncaa because all they'd have to say is "if you wanna get paid, go pro, otherwise you play by our rules".

Do you really think the NCAA can go back?

Back to real scholars playing football? No more paid players? No more 6, 7, and 8th year players? Players without agents? Players living in dorms like students?

Sounds great. But why stop there? Let's go back to the days when football coaches were paid like professors, when stadiums were old and the best seats were worn benches on the fifty-yard line, when fans and players had a real connection because they were all actually students (or graduates) at the same school.

Frankly, I'm all for it! But how do the schools stick Pandora back into that box?...

If you've got a plain to undo every change that's been made to CF in the last century or so, I'm on board. Really. Seriously. I could not be more serious. If you can think of a way to undo this mess we've created, let me know...

In the meantime, in a world where head coaches are the highest paid workers on the state payroll, where schools spend tens of millions building and improving athletic facilities while classroom space is fought over by departments, where boosters are writing six figure checks to athletic departments, etc. etc.... most people think these (hired gun) players should get something too.

No I'm not suggesting that they can go back now. The genie is out of the bottle but it is a situation that could have been avoided pretty easily.

I'm sorry. But he's nowhere to be found according to State records

It's still your turn.

Their are many state employees not on this list of state agency employees, including people who work for the Missouri Housing Development Commission, and the Missouri Agriculture and Small Business Development Authority, in addition to employees of Missouri State Colleges and Universities.

However, university employees are still considered state employees, and so their salaries are still public records under the Missouri Sunshine Law. In the case of Universities, the information must be requested directly from the specific institution rather than being accessed through the state's centralized database.

In other words, your argument is specious.

If I wholly own ABC box company, and you work for ABC box company, you work for me even though tax records would not list me as your employer.
