Pot Meet Kettle

You've heard it, right? "That's the pot calling the kettle black?" Some, the yunguns especially, may interpret that as some kind of racial slur. I suppose some might even try to use it that way, but that's not where the meme comes from. In days of olde, when knights were bold, cooking was down on a hearth, aka, a rig in the front of the household fireplace. Any vessel that was used turned black on the exterior, of course. So, both pots and kettles acquired that same patina of grime. It's now used as a meme for hypocrisy.

Well, good ole Rick Pitino says that college Hoop Players should live with a 'salary' cap. At least in the Big Conference schools. Is Coach Rick worried about having to field a team from year to year, certain that if he lands a diamond in the rough as a frosh, he'll skedaddle after March Madness has run its course? You betcha.

Pitino took to social media and suggested there should be a salary cap between $1.5 million and $2 million for the Big East and Power Five conferences when it comes to basketball.

Well, why not just slide all the way down the slippery slope:
- no limit on years of 'eligibility', thus sub-NBA stars can keep getting their dough from StateU after StateU until they're 35 or so
- no requirement to actually attend classes
- no limit on sources and amounts of NIL funds

NCAA has been the minor leagues for foobah and hoops, and more recently bazebah, for decades. Will college sports be any 'better' with the fig leaf torn off? Well, the bettors might like it.
