S2 E6: NCAA, ISIS & Brazil: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver 

Ah, those simpler times, eh?

That might be the point

Actually the NCAA is set to pay college athletes beginning next month and video games are paying college athletes now

They all got paid 14000 players over the past decade or so

one of the ONLY ones i’ve seen of these new uploads having had a positive outcome in the years since, what a shame.

Feels like a "Holy Shit! A situation improved!" followup webisode would be in order.

This is true. However, because of the lack of guidance and regulation as to _how_ colleges pay them, there are now NUMEROUS systems that have been created all over the country to limit the amount that they get paid as much as possible, making it _very_ difficult for prospective students to "cross shop" schools based on the offers they receive because the fine print that goes along with each and every one of them can be completely different. Even finding out exactly how much some of the most high profile college players make can be extremely difficult, if not impossible in some cases. Although, when all is said and done, it cannot be denied that even with all of these new flaws and complications, it is an undeniable improvement upon the previous system of universally prohibiting _any_ form of income or benefits to these players, who work so hard under incredible pressure, in part, for our casual entertainment. I highly recommend that anyone who watches college sports, or is considering participating in it, check out at least a couple of the many podcast episodes that have been made regarding this subject. If you're interested, the podcast "The Wild World of Money in College Football" by The Daily (from The New York Times) is a good one, and then I'm pretty sure that either the Vox or Wendover Productions RU-vid channels have made a video or two on the subject as well.

a rare one ahahah... life does this sometimes

Actually, while they do get paid now, it's mostly only the most desirable players that get a fair amount, and it is very very difficult for students to cross shop schools based on offerings because each of the schools did different things to make sure they were paying the students as little as they could possibly get away with.

Not Sir. He turned down the knighthood.

I enjoyed the Bob Murray episode, but only because I worked in coal, met Bob a few times… I know his bullshit. And everything John Oliver called him out for was true and much deserved… However, I don’t trust John Oliver. He reminds me of another Steve Colbert. And that guy is straight up lib material

yeah, at the mention of players not being paid 😑 i can't stand woo girls

@@pennybutnotthecoin couldn't care about that. I don't think there should be any money in it

Where did you watch it hbo max took off all seasons except the new ones

@@spiralentree737yeah it bugged me so much i can’t watch the crt anymore episode anymore

@@elliotoliverr tbh, I'm a pirate. Hit the net. Message boards, and clique communities. You and @Spiralentree737

​@@spiralentree737why did they do that?

Same

Would you happen to know the Episode ?

I get he should have been held accountable, but. I also get what you're saying, too. Balsenaro was a sociopath.

I'm worried if we kick out our prime minister, who does have his issues... we may have to deal with our own Bud light version of what you guys went through

Dilma did nothing

Now that we’ve gone through the ultra-right hell, I feel like it’s safe to say Dilma was alright…

I'm too, my friend. Remembering the good old days of Lava Jato kk

BRAZIL MENTIONED 🎉🎉

The theme from Taskmaster does it for me too

Yep

The world that includes the Olympics, apparently, but I agree.

You stop when the athletes are too young to be professionals, and at that point, instead of paying them, you have to demonetize their performance altogether. No one should be making money off beating up a 16-year-old's knees. 18+, they get to sell their knees if they want, and they should get paid. But younger than that, it's exploitation whether they get paid or not.

it'll probably be a while since they're releasing one season every week that they're not airing a new episode

Idk if Cheese is THAT addictive

@stoodmuffinpersonal3144 it's a South Park reference. But cheese is very delicious.
