Only a junior and 31-years-old. Clearly, he has a HUGE advantage punting against players a decade younger. Is Oklahoma State cheating?

Don’t people on here go on and on about how athletes peak at 25 and by their thirties are old, decaying, crippled farts? If anything he’s giving the other team an advantage

It didn't bug me when Billy Sims returned from fighting in Viet Nam and played N.C.A.A. Am. football to age 24 or 25.
What bugs me is the complicated aid, grant & scholarship system in U.S. If priorities were altered, U.S. can provide tuition free public education to everyone from age 3 to 23 sans means test. No F.A.F.S.A. forms. Demonstrate one is a U.S. citizen, no matter the state or U.S. Territory. If someone from Idaho wants to attend college at U. of Hawaii, great. There would have to be a catch. In order to provide tuition free public education to all age 3 to age 23 without significantly raising taxes, Military Industrial Complex would have to be significantly shrunk. Aid & grants to private colleges & universities would have to be significantly reduced. F.A.F.S.A. program would have to be significantly reduced. U.S. was a better nation when taxes were higher on 1/2 billionaires and billionaires.

You are obviously not talking about the Heisman winner from Oklahoma because he was not in Vietnam. Maybe Billy Sims who was a backup long snapper for Podunk State Agricultural College? Or maybe you are thinking of Rocky Bleier, who DID go to Vietnam, although this was while he was with the Steelers of N.F.L. Am. football.

Rocky Blier and Billy Ray Sims. They look so much ... . Look at his age. Billy Ray Sims, born 1955. Entered N.F.L. draft, 1980. I don't know why his wikipedia page has been scrubbed. No military reference on wikipedia page. Billy Ray Sims is a Viet Nam vet.
18 is grown.
It’s not an advantage to have a 31-year-old versus a 21-year-old, it’s just weird.
The punt is one of the worst plays in American football. The rugby version is okay because it doesn't require its own set play and wastes only a few seconds of everyone's time.
A great punter is of little more value than an average punter unless you're playing SCC-style "field position" ball, which is even worse! Nobody finds that interesting.
The punter is among the most likely of players to be soft and pudgy. Fat but not strong.
no

The Vietnam war ended a month before Billy Sims graduated from Hooks high school in 1975 at age 19, not uncommon in Texas. He then went to the University of Oklahoma, where he was injured his sophomore year and took a redshirt season. So he was at OU for five years. Heisman winner for the '78 season and All-American in '78 and '79. Got drafted to the NFL the next spring at age 24.
Not sure where in there he went to Vietnam. Maybe he snuck over there the springs of his high school year after being one of the most famous high school football players in the country during the fall seasons. Or maybe his "injured" sophomore season at OU was secretly spent in Vietnam and the team and school were in on the conspiracy to keep it quiet. Only you know the truth.

That would be post-war, btw. He was probably working for the CIA.
I think it's awesome. What's the problem?

So you're one of those flat-tax libertarians. Or something like that. You obviously want more govt money to go to well-off people like you. You don't like the current system where the lower middle class and poor get free college through grants and aid but also want the rich to benefit from government largesse.
Your proposed system might be successful in keeping the riff-raff out of private colleges, which is clearly what you want. Or it might do away with private colleges all-together. Maybe that's your plan.
I would like to engage in a serious discussion with the anti age, anti LDS posters here to find out what the peak athletic age is. It seems that they think it is late twenties but they never engage in a calm and serious discussion.
Being in your 30s is definitely, definitely not physically advantageous over being in your twenties.
Ask literally any 30 year old.
If you really want to be upset, look up Chris Weinke
I think it’s weird that anyone still thinks college athletics has anything to do with age, amateurism or academics.
So, following this (stupid) logic, Nick Saban shouldn't be coaching because he's over 70.
