re: NCAA cries for help!!!

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) swatted down Baker’s latest cry for help.

“Until the NCAA gets it act together, any ‘get out of jail free cards’ for them are dead on arrival in Congress,” Blackburn said in a statement to the AP.

No help for the NCAA to the Right, and none to the Left, either.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) suggested the NCAA ought to pursue collective bargaining with athletes rather than a golden ticket from Congress.

“(The NCAA should) start negotiating directly with the athletes to come up with an entirely new model that gives them the pay and protections they have long deserved,” Murphy said in a statement to the AP. “Until the NCAA takes these basic steps, simply coming to Congress to bail them out is not a reasonable approach.”

This is a very bipartisan screw you to the NCAA.

Let's see if Charlie Baker and UGA's Jere 'The Bitch' Morehead are smart enough to listen.
