Who's in charge, who's managing college sports?

The schools do, if they would just grow some fricking balls for once. All these protests and all the other shite going on around colleges is just a symptom of a system with no backbone.

They are all scared to fricking death of some bad PR that's going to get them fired. So they just allow everyone who claims victim status to run over them.

"You're making me keep my commitment for a year, I'm a victim, you are forcing me!" bullshite. You are not a victim, you made a commitment.

Nobody can force them to keep their commitment, but schools can damn well not accept a kid who has failed to keep theirs. So the NCAA just makes the rule "Schools will not admit a scholarship student who transfers out before 1 year for a time period after being admitted into another school"

I'm not a lawyer, I'm sure they can word it better. But basically, if you commit to a school for the year, you are there for the year. You can drop out, but another school can't admit you until it's been 1 year since the day you were admitted into the other school(maybe a grace period of a few weeks or a month for different admission dates).

But will schools actually grow a backbone and do something? Doesn't seem very likely to me. So the sport will probably get sucked dry by the parasite mentality leaving only the hollow carcass of what it once was.

Basically, you regulate the schools, not the players and tell congress to go frick itself. Don't say the player is ineligible, tell the schools they can't admit someone.
