The attorney generals from Tennessee and Virginia have filed a federal lawsuit against the NCAA that casts the NCAA’s Name Image and Likeness rules as antitrust violations.
quote:- Clay Travis
The states of Tennessee and Virginia request immediate suspension of all NCAA NIL rule enforcement. If these states win — and I’d bet more states will join this lawsuit — the NCAA is officially dead in major college sports.

The NCAA is about to become totally irrelevant.

The entire state is dedicated to cheating.

The frickers held up Ivisic from playing for almost three months because he got two hundred dollar travel stipend.
NCAA brings this down on themselves for preferential treatment, stonewalling stipends for athletes etc. Now it is out of control. Time for a new organization for the Power Four and a quarter.

I have no love for the NCAA
But the idea that THIS being the reason it dies off is a good thing is foolish. NIL is getting LESS regulated.

This doesn't help fix the problems in college athletics.
If the membership including conferences and teams don't set some parameters and come together for the good of the sports they participate in it's not gonna work.
I realize teams are fighting for recruits but for the common good teams have to work together to make it sustainable.
It should never be about who wants to buy the best team.
Has to be some kind of multi year commitment from player to school in this environment to make it work. Even in professional sports there is player/team commitment set up in the contracts they sign.

Oklahoma (and Georgia) v. the board of regents began the decline of college football.
Hopefully TN, VA et al. v. NCAA will begin to right the ship.

The problem is the NCAA is just the schools. It's the member institutions themselves.
Maybe this is an opportunity to revamp things, but always remember: the state of things is how the schools want things to be. Never let them convince you it's the schools versus the NCAA.

The only thing they are doing is hurting themselves. Do Tenn and the Virginia schools think they will compete with the Texas usc, osu Michigan schools if it’s a spend at will?

People will whine but the only way to fix the current system is to blow it up.
The system is barely hanging on and the NCAA was stupid for trying to bring out the hammer on someone.

Saying this for the first time in my life: go Vols.

Ok...here is my take (that and $.50 will get you a cup of coffee where I work).
We can all agree that the implementation of NIL has been horribly managed/implemented. While I believe that the NCAA is a horrible institution that needs to be burned down and rebuilt...it wasn't the NCAA that wanted NIL. The US Supreme Court affirmed lower court rulings that restrictions on Name, Image and Likeness regulated by the NCAA violated Anti-Trust laws.
Outside of the court case...who has ever heard of Shawne Alston? He's a running back from WVU that had 3 games in his 4-year career where he rushed for over 100 yards (vs Iowa State, Marshall and Rutgers). Even with today's free market NIL deals...I don't know that this guys would garner much of anything. But his lawsuit (in conjunction with the Ed O'Bannon case), are what brought about the change. The NCAA couldn't go against the US Supreme Court. That's how we got here.

It’s over as soon as the dust settles on this suit.
Thanks UT (not sarcasm)!
We should’ve done this when they came after Wade, but it was just a hair too soon at that time. Think everyone agrees at this point, it’s past due. Time for a new league.

Y'all will cheer about this but then when players start demanding $5 million a year because there are now rules in place and they start leaving in the middle of the season, y'all will be crying and saying college football is dead
