They have NBA draft in bylaws but these court challenges aren't about what's in the bylaws but whether the bylaws themselves are fair and being applied consistently.

The slippery slope is all the recent exceptions for foreign professionals.

That's where any clear precedent has dissolved in tons of individual cases with different circumstances. Put enough "exceptions" the NCAA has granted together and the picture is anything but "consistent" and it's easy to make a case for the next exception.

The NCAA is ran by a bunch of idiots. Put in hard rules and quit giving exceptions. 5 or 6 years to play, nothing after that even if you sprain your cock. If you go pro and realize you suck after two years, you can go back to playing college for one year.

I actually agree with Sankey on this issue. My question is, if NCAA rules are so important, where was his statement about all of the other athletes that have gone to court to get around those rules?

People acting like he’s making a stand are insane. He knows which way the wind is blowing and he’s taking a popular stand. If he were principled he wouldn’t have waited until now.

Any argument that centers on “the integrity of college sports” in an era where we have schools paying players millions of dollars to get them to come play for a year is a dumb argument. The genie is out of the bottle.
