Hoops Weiss chimes in.
Ted Cruz, like him or not, is right for standing up for Iowa State, which means he is standing up for the likes of us.
Congress needs to act before college football, basketball and other sports are destroyed for most of the USA. What will keep that from happening? Bribes, lobbyists and backroom deals.
NiL was used by the NCAA to enrich themselves while detaching themselves from their regulatory responsibilities. The NCAA should be investigated, disassembled and reassembled along with the post NiL ways of doing business. The kids should be able to have compensation, without being bought and taken by extreme $$$$$$$$.
I agree, In a perfect world congressional action or an executive order are probably the best options for fixing this. The NCAA is too broken and divided to do anything about it at this point. But congress is too so I donât have a lot of hope for a solution anytime soon. Everything has to be so divided along party lines nothing that makes sense can happen without the other side fighting to undo it. Same for an executive order. The next president would most likely come along and undo it no matter how much sense the order makes.
The answers are simple and have been provided ad nauseum from the fans for ages. But they continue to be ignored.
Revenue sharing for all of college football should have gone into a single pool to be divided evenly amongst all FBS players in good standing. Any NIL deals should have been like the classic car dealership commercial example and would probably only go to a few stars (Barkleyâs â1%â of players). The transfer rules should have been tightened to reduce the # of times / circumstances where a player can leave, and a transfer fee should be considered too.
But the powers that be wouldnât act and wouldnât allow anything that remotely equitable to occur. They ruined the sport, and short of some entity with sufficient authority enacting these measures, itâs going to collapse as an unsustainable model.

Yep. The exhaustion is settling in. These boosters are not going to keep spending like this without multi year contracts.
Considering Sanders shows no loyalty toward players etc, that donor shouldnât be surprised by what happens in the CU program.
This is laughable.
âMultiple outlets are reporting that CUâs staring at a potential budget deficit of roughly $27 million for the fiscal period that ends June 30.â
with the revenue they have there is no excuse for not balancing their budget
If they are unable to keep up with the Jones then so be it but you have to pay your bills.
And I will reiterate.
Get us to a new division, stat.

College football has turned into another ultra rich play toy. Soon you will either have a sugar daddy or you wonât have anything (itâs already kind of that way).
clt sys we need a rich coach
A rich coach who knows what the hell heâs doing
When wasnât it that?
The only difference now is that the money is going to players instead of facilities.
And the schools that were not willing to cheat can now compete.
I get the sentiment but college football has always been a pastime for rich boosters to a certain extent. Right?
Not to this extent. The direct money payments with no contracts and zero restrictions on transfers has changed the sport into something unrecognizable.
Yeah, instead of raising millions for an IPF th school is giving it to the players.
