College athlete compensation - NIL etc 💰

Nonsense Gassman. We have to save Gov’t funds to do important shit like compensate parolees

I had mentioned congress was catching on to college sports becoming a mess. We will have to see if it passes 1) at all 2) without amendments

Won’t be holding my breath until something actually happens. Per an AI search:

Since 2020, Congress has introduced and attempted to pass more than 40 bills aimed at regulating college athletics, NIL rights, and athlete employment. None have successfully passed both chambers and been signed into law.

With it being “bipartisan” there’s a chance it could pass I guess. I would expect it to be challenged in the courts. With a conservative supreme court, maybe it would survive.

I agree with run, I wouldn’t hold my breath on it actually happening lol.

Just a reminder, that’s the same SCOTUS that ruled 9-0 against the NCAA in 2021.

These two tweets capture the essence of the issue.

Good ol’ Faux News with the “sky is falling” spin.

Pretty funny with Saban on one side and the SEC (+ Big Ten) on the other.

The SEC and B10 would be all for it if it wasn’t for the unified media rights deal. Maintaining their media rights advantage and building their super league is all they care about.

The bill disallowing a super league is enough for me to oppose it. The sooner it happens, the better for everyone else. Just let those 30-40 schools leave the NCAA and do their own thing. Going to happen so just get on with it.

Definitely ironic coming from the AD of a school that most likely will be part of the Super League.
