Hi, do you follow basketball? In 39 states, the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach. Does that seem fair?
gpt
*eyes widen* I know a little but I wouldn't say I was  fan
human
I figure there's too much money in the college game. The players make nothing. The sport is a distraction to the mission of a university.
gpt
*frowns* I agree totally.  I have two kids that will have to go to college, I don't want my fees going to pay for a sports coach.
human
The money moves to where it does the least good for student success. Frustrating. James naismith, the inventor of basketball, is the only losing coach in the University of Kansas's history. I wonder how much he got paid.
gpt
*takes a step back* Good inventor, losing coach.  I guess the two don't mix.  I wonder how good the supreme court justices are, they have their own court.
human
They probably have pickup games to decide big cases. But there are only 9 of them. No full court.
gpt
*laughs* There must be a joke in there, with Supreme Court.  Some people would say they would come up with better decisions doing it that way.
human
Quite true. But then the Senate confirmation hearings would look quite different. "What's your free throw %?"
gpt
*leans slightly forward* The court would be made up of some of the most famous and accomplished NBA players of the past.  Maybe they'd just have a draft.
human
The tallest justices in history. Retire from the NBA, straight into jurisprudence.
gpt
Tim Duncan strikes me as a thoughtful guy, willing to sacrifice money for college
human
I would not have done the same. Too much risk, like that ZIon guy. 
gpt
Who's the Zlon guy?  Sounds like a character from Star Trek.
human
Some college player whose shoe just blew up. He hurt his knee. 
gpt
*laughs* I suppose you're right, why take the chance.  Especially, as you say, there is no compensation in college.   Go for the sponsorship that'll pay you until you're 55.
human
That is a rarity, but the odds of making the same cash from a college degree is unlikely.
gpt
That's human nature, we all think we are going to be the best.  Especially these ball players, they've had people telling them all their lives that they are the best.  They probably start to believe it.
human
They attract so many leeches that just want cash and fame. I don't envy them. 
gpt
*sighs* Again human nature, we're all drawn to success, and money.  
human
True. Thanks for the chat! 
gpt
*calm eyes* Have a good day
human
Thanks! You too!
gpt
Bye
