watched some sports show yesterday and they said that the NCAA have over a dozen programs they are snooping around on and trying to find something to dig up regarding NIL/recruiting.

I hope the TN/Virginia lawsuits gains steam and more programs/AG's join the lawsuit or file their own.

The NCAA has to end, imo

lol, you look at this situation and you think it's the NCAA that has to end instead of teams purchasing players so that the team with the biggest/wealthiest booster base will always have the best players should end. That's what you think college football should be?

I got news for you, this nil thing is going to come crashing down hard as soon as the females start suing because they are not getting millions in nil money. I bet the courts won't pretend like it's not the schools controlling this money then

As far as I know, one of the only rules in any of this is that NIL is not supposed to be used for recruiting, and yet literally every single program in America seems to be doing just that (and somewhat openly talking about it).

It's like a speed trap where every car is flying by doing 70 in a 35, and they're just sitting there trying to decide who they want to pop.

I tend to agree BUT the CFB world does not...almost no one in any position to make decisions at any program has not expressed some desire for some regulation....its hard to say you want a speed limit and then when the cops post a speed limit to whine about a speed limit and not come off as disingenuous...If the NCAA is not in a position to regulate college athletics as a VOLUNTARY "club" who will be? If the answer is no one....and that's what it is right now...it not a good look to simultaneously complain about the lack of regulation. The road seems like it may be the federal government who eventually steps in...anyone who prefers to the NCAA is a fool. If it is not the federal government or state government (which would be an even larger fiasco with 50 different sets of rules) it will be another version of the NCAA. The name will have changed but eventually every vestige of the NCAA will be reinvented.


To compare the situation to politics if you talk to a libertarian or an anarchist who is not totally insane long enough, if you have the stomach for such abuse, you will find that they would reinvent EVERY vestige of our current system of rules and regulations in their entirety...only it would have been their idea. That seems to be where we are going with the NCAA.

What exactly do you think happens if the NCAA is ended? This is a self-regulation, the NCAA is the schools. From their comment today:

quote:

it is important to remember that NCAA member schools and conferences not only make the rules but routinely call for greater enforcement of those rules and holding violators accountable.


The NCAA is working, in general, exactly how the schools want it to. Yes, individual members will feel they're being unfairly targeted, but then turn around and complain about another member.
