This is only about football and basketball at the highest levels.Sounds like the beginning of the end for the NCAA, maybe even college sports.
I have to believe this about saving college sports.Sounds like the beginning of the end for the NCAA, maybe even college sports.
well we still have womens volleyball so not all is lost..This is only about football and basketball at the highest levels.
oh yeah, SEC and Big 10 only care about saving college sports, no doubt.I have to believe this about saving college sports.
If they can bring NIL, the portal, and other crap into line for themselves, then it helps the rest.oh yeah, SEC and Big 10 only care about saving college sports, no doubt.
The problem is the NCAA and the school have had no choice but to change because of state governments and lawsuits, now it is about finding a solution for the states and stopping them from being an easy target for attorneys.I hate to say it, but I honestly just don't care anymore.
If Pitt athletics exist in a capacity I deem entertaining enough to watch, then I'll watch. If they don't, I'll play my guitar and explore nature more. Whatever.
In general, and throughout most of history, you see that people just can't be satisfied with a good thing. They almost always change it until they eventually ruin it.

The other name for this group is the "Kill the ACC and Big12 committee".
Let me just change that last paragraph for you-money always wins, and where profit is involved those who chase it don’t care what they destroy along the way.I hate to say it, but I honestly just don't care anymore.

Huh?The problem is the NCAA and the school have had no choice but to change because of state governments and lawsuits, now it is about finding a solution for the states and stopping them from being an easy target for attorneys.
There is no NIL today if not for state legislation forcing it upon the NCAA. There is no talk about employment contracts if not for multiple lawsuits allowing unlimited transfers and lawsuits going after more money.Huh?
beat it loserThis is only about football and basketball at the highest levels.
NIL came about as a result of the SCOTUS decision in NCAA v Alston, which was a federal antitrust case under the Sherman Act.There is no NIL today if not for state legislation forcing it upon the NCAA. There is no talk about employment contracts if not for multiple lawsuits allowing unlimited transfers and lawsuits going after more money.
Poor leadership got them to this point but now it is about trying to get a system in place that prevents the state governments from passing more legislation that forces them to react and also getting a system that keeps them from getting pounded in the courts.
I’m sure you’re not alone.I have to believe this about saving college sports.
The ball that got NIL rolling was California passing NIL legislation and then multiple states jumped on board as the CA deadline approachedNCAA v Alston
What is the fix because everything that the NCAA has tried has led to another lawsuit chipping away at the foundation.I’m sure you’re not alone.
But this is about them maximizing their money and I can nearly guarantee you they don’t care about anything or anyone else.
College football as we knew it is over Johnny. It’s over.
The NCAA or two conferences cannot prevent states from passing legislation. Well, unless they intend to throw a lot of money into bribing er um I mean campaign contributions.There is no NIL today if not for state legislation forcing it upon the NCAA.

It is about making rules that the different state governments can live with and hoping they no longer see a need to take action.The NCAA or two conferences cannot prevent states from passing legislation.

Hahaha.. Think they come to the conclusion that THEY are the problem?The NCAA is living on borrowed time… let’s see if we can grab a lifeboat to whatever’s next.

As long as the game remains the same, it isn't over for me.College football as we knew it is over Johnny. It’s over.
The biggest programs are now pushing hard to make them employees, hell that will be the main mission of this group.Employment and a collective bargaining agreement.
And it's been obvious for a long time that that was where this needed to go. But the NCAA and the schools have fought it tooth and nail, because when that happens some of the big money they've been raking in will go to people other than themselves.

Rumor has it, Cal and Stanford are looking to change volleyball into Sand Volleyball , anyhow volleyball always seems to arouse a lot of excitement.....well we still have womens volleyball so not all is lost..

Are they though?
Joe's post was 100% spot on. Schools mainly want to pocket the money, not solve the problem. Employment and collective bargaining agreement is the way this needs to go.
The NCAA already has Beach Volleyball.
And Stanford and Cal are pretty good at it.
Don't give Heather any ideas or else you may see a lake and a beach built in Oakland
Look at some of the schools that sponsor beach volleyball. You don't need to be anywhere near a beach to have a team.
For example, Eastern Kentucky, Morehead State, Central Arkansas, Missouri State, Eastern Illinois, Boise State, UTEP, Arizona, Arizona State, Grand Canyon, and plenty of other, similarly situated schools play D1 beach volleyball.
You are wrong, the ball has been rolling for more than a decade. The NCAA's power has been getting stripped piece by piece for the last 15 years. Courts can only rule on the complaints in front of them, but they can make clear their future intentions should the next case reach that level.The ball that got NIL rolling was California passing NIL legislation and then multiple states jumped on board as the CA deadline approached
The NCAA v Alston dealt with the NCAA's restrictions on providing college athletes with non-cash compensation for academic-related purposes.
I know both Harbaugh and Franklin are pushing for it and there are others, it gaining momentum and will happen sooner rather than later.Are they though?

So you are a Ped St fan just hanging on the Pitt board all day?I know both Harbaugh and Franklin are pushing for it and there are others, it gaining momentum and will happen sooner rather than later.
