if congress continues to punt it’s about to get silly. of course the ncaa has their hand in causing this problem by allowing foreign pros to begin with. opened the can of worms. idiots

theres no reason to think the problem could realistically be solved by congress.

ok, in theory, yes. in reality-- we've reached a point where i can't imagine a democrat's involvement doing something other than making a problem worse.

there was some chatter that tuberville (or cruz?) and corey booker were working together on something at one point. can anyone actually imagine a scenario where corey booker sees a common solution to a problem? my guess would be if anything, his involvement would only have the effect of making an issue worse off than where he found it. perhaps instead of transferring year to year, we'd have guys transferring mid-season. point is, putting hope in that outcome is a waste of energy.

Hey, Siwash University: you've got an NCAA-limited budget of $100mm/year to spend on your men's hoops team.

AD: how can we get around that limit??

had he attempted and succeeded, democrats might actually have been forced into a reactionary anti-NIL position.

Why should Congress get involved other than tax matters here

Like make sure NIL money is taxed and that contributions to NIL funds are not deductible. And how exactly are athletic departments non-profits when they csn bring in $150M and up? If the NCAA implodes, oh well.

Go Zags!

the athletes is immediately litigated and the NCAA loses almost every single case. Boise State can fuck themselves if they think they are entitled to the cash kitty created by the legacy Big Ten and SEC programs.

dean of the antitrust bar back at Iowa, I got the top grade in class, I did a bunch of merger antitrust work and am generally well versed in it, I have watched NASCAR for 35 years and absolutely firmly with my heart of hearts believe that every single thing NASCAR has done is squarely within a defense called the "Rule of Reason." Basically, NASCAR operated the way it did because without their rules package the sport would collapse. Yet the trial judge let the case proceed to trial. The trial judges just don't understand this stuff and if you lose at trial, get a runaway verdict and then have it trebled under the Clayton Act you're just absolutely fucked.

Sure, you can appeal but you gotta post a bond, it will take years and there's no guarantee you will get a fair shake on appeal. I'm basically at the point of thinking the US needs specialized courts for antitrust and patent cases because the last god damned thing I would want to do if I was a deep pocket is get stuck defending an antitrust case involving a Clemson athlete in front of a jury empaneled in federal court in Greenville County, South Carolina. The entire god damned case comes down to the motion to dismiss, you get a case in front of the jury and some plaintiff lawyer telling the jury the reason Clemson didn't win the title is because of the NCAA's rules and you're in for a potential bloodbath. It ain't good.
