clt says that seems to be a bit much, but if it brings back ncaa FB on the Xbox so be it

Big difference between California bill and one just filed in Florida - former goes into affect on January 1, 2023, while latter - if passed and signed - would go into affect on July 1, 2020!

Pac-12 commish, NCAA digging in their heels:

clt recommends that the NCAA hire the UNC CHeat legal team

I think the best course of action(for fair play and compensation) is some sort of pension system for when players are out of college.

All the college football money will be put into a fund, the fund will payout depending on how many years you’re on a roster, how many games you’ve started. Once you’re out of eligibility, you get 5 years of payment.

Couple this with capping coaching pay, capping staff pay, allowing jersey and having likeness sales on the NCAA website/NCAA controlled sales of likeness, I think that would be the best system forward if you wanted fairness of competition.

Yeah, but the bottom line is that sports are a business and the people running that business doesn’t want those things.

The contrast between the comments of Coach K and Mark Few quite telling. Both basically agree on the NIL issue, but Few went off on a meandering political detour that will be the focus of what he said in a Stadium interview with Jeff Goodman.
