It's like the college athletes in general being conscripted labor for organizations and groups that have made billions and billions and billions of dollars.

and have never gotten anything, no healthcare, no salary, nothing.

The NIL era has at least made it so that they are profiting from their own work.

And when I read this, I was like, yes, Larry Ellison, focus on this.

Focus on the University of Michigan quarterbacks and the problem.

And while you're at it, go pick up a few offensive linemen.

Go see if there's a running back who needs some money.

I would rather Warner Brothers own Warner Brothers, frankly.

That doesn't seem possible.

It was bought by Zaslav and Discovery and saddled with, I think, $45 billion in debt, which meant it was only a matter of time until he, you know, stripped away and sold off the copper wiring and then flipped it to someone else.

I believe he also paid himself $250 million as like a bonus finder's fee when he bought the company, which is pretty amazing.

The report I read said

couple days ago is that by the time this is over he will be a billionaire which is probably all that he really ever wanted at some level Time Warner and Warner Brothers are you know

old venerable entertainment companies.

And it has been passed around like a stinky plate of hors d'oeuvres at a crummy billionaire cocktail party for 30 years now.

AOL bought it with fake money in the late 90s, early 2000s.

And then it kind of chugged along and then Discovery bought it and saddled it with debt and stripped it for parts and buried a bunch of movies.

The Batgirl movie famously was just thrown in the garbage.

Other TV shows and movies

were made and then thrown in the garbage as tax write-offs.
