Cash Cow...

 

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday the NCAA can’t limit education-related benefits — like computers and paid internships — that colleges can offer their sports stars, a victory for athletes that could help open the door to further easing in the decades-old fight over paying student-athletes.

Schools recruiting top athletes could now offer tens of thousands of dollars in education-related benefits that also include study-abroad programs and graduate scholarships. However, the case doesn’t decide whether students can simply be paid salaries for the benefits their efforts bring — measured in tens of millions for many universities.

The high court agreed with a lower court’s determination that NCAA limits on the education-related benefits that colleges can offer athletes who play Division I basketball and football violate antitrust laws.

Are they taking advantage of the young people? You'll be the judge.

 Just a thought.

Phase...

 

With daily COVID cases falling New York State will begin shutting down the mass-vaccination centers that were a key part of its inoculation effort.

It will mark the first phase in the state's effort to wind down its large-scale vaccination sites and focus more on pop-up clinics across the state.

New York is currently running more than 20 vaccination sites across the state, of which at least a dozen have been large-scale facilities meant to administer hundreds or even thousands of shots a day.

But some of those sites have been seeing a very small number of people seeking shots in recent days and weeks as demand for a shot appears to dwindle.

So it started terribly for the elderly who couldn't get an appointment to get vaccinated and in a couple of months the State is shutting it all down.  Just a thought.
