Yep, nobody is going to watch a minor league game. The reason college athletics work is because of the name attatched to the school. Nobody cares about some minor league team, they care about the team that represents the school they went to.

I can claim my job is exploiting me, despite being paid a fair wage (which I believe a degree and scholarship are) but it doesn’t make it true.

They’re killing the golden goose. Ending college athletics ends almost all their careers. They won’t get paid, there will just be no offerings for them to play anymore.

They’re not being exploited. They get free degrees, something the rest of us have to pay 10s of thousands of dollars for. That’s not exploitation

And this will end college sports as we know them, which is unequivocally a bad thing. I know people here are rooting for this, but this will end all sports departments outside of a super league and end the US dominance in most Olympic sports.

I’m still of the opinion that scholarships are payment enough for playing.

A minor league won’t work in the US. It doesn’t work for any other sports here either. The NBA/MLB minor leagues provide no reason to watch the product, and nobody does. College sports are unique in that people will root for historically terrible teams because they have a connection to the team.

That’s what I think too. It’s either that or just wanting to race in Red for a year or two before retirement.

I think we’ll know pretty quickly if the Merc is a shitbox next year, which will explain a lot.

All valid points.

Whatever it is, I’m having the best time gaming I’ve had in years with it, and at a $20 price point, I’m well happy to have bought it.

I have to imagine the W15 is going to be a shitbox. He’s gotta have some reason to be jumping ship, when it was previously thought he’d retire at Mercedes.

I’m gonna guess it’s a massive bag. And he’s got enough money anyways that he probably doesn’t care too much.

It’s certainly not well made, as it’s buggy as hell, but it is fun, and that’s been missing from a lot of games recently.

I’m playing exclusively in a multiplayer world with my brothers, and we’re having a blast. If I was playing alone it’d probably be less fun tbh.

You’re not wrong. Of course they don’t want any new entries. It doesn’t matter if it’s Andretti, Toyota, Porsche or anyone else. The pie doesn’t get bigger, it gets distributed to everyone equally, which means they’re getting less money for every new team added.

None of these teams are going to vote against their own interests. There’s no incentive to allowing new teams (to them), everything about it is a negative for the teams already in place.

Albon could be a good choice. If they can get him from Williams I’m convinced he could fight at the pointy end of the grid.

Sainz won’t ever get the RB seat. Jos and Sainz Sr caused a lot of problems when they were both at TR, leading to Sainz leaving the RBDA
