Sure. Note the layoffs in the internet era. The reduction in story budgets, etc. The going rate for quality magazine writing (my former niche) is $1/word to start. And that has been the going rate since roughly the early 90s. The following is an oversimplification, but the loss of classified revenue killed journalism. Craigslist killed classifieds. Craigslist started in'95. -

I was introduced to this site called stumbleupon which randomly selects websites, pictures, articles, etc... Few weeks ago this article came up from Forbes magazine by a Jason Belzer titled, Leveling The Playing Field: Student Athletes Or Employee Athletes?. Basically a pros and con article on this subject. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/9JZiig/:nbvP+Loi:aNafYh_h/www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbelzer/2013/09/09/leveling-the-playing-field-student-athletes-or-employee-athletes/
Most of your posts on this subject are regarding football/basketball, not much mentioned of hockey. For kids with nhl aspirations, most go through the junior ranks in lieu of universities/college in North America. It is not an easy road for these athletes, where you get drafted at the age of 15-16 and wind up sometimes clear across the country to play for a junior team that had selected you. They will get housed by volunteers screened by the junior teams and most continue to go to a high school. A tuff life riding the bus from town to town catching up on homework and playing 2-3 games a week with practices. There is no paycheque or stipend at the end of each week, just an opportunity for a shot at the big leagues.Last edited by geo weidl; September 26, 2013, 03:25 PM.Comment

Central Florida up 10-0 on South Carolina now with UCF in USC territory. Judging by what they have done so far, they have to be a Top 15 team if they win.Comment

..... So much for that. UCF is getting pounded into submission.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment
