Of course when this hit the news people ran here praising the Lord that a white knight was finally riding to the rescue to put these uppity players in their place and restore all that is pure and righteous and holy and traditional about college football, the way God intended it to be.
Here are the gory details and IMO it’s poison as are some of the people whose fingers are on it and just want to feed at the trough in a different way.
But few people on any of the forums here do nuance. It’ll never see the light of day anyway.

frick all this...

Folks here, at least privately, are caught between noticeably cautious and downright skeptical about the bill. After all, the Senate legislation bars the SEC and Big Ten from expanding beyond their current membership, prevents them from merging to form the long-discussed “super league,” and includes a concept to permit conferences to pool their media rights. Despite the latter being a voluntary option only, the pooling of rights is a divisive topic in which SEC and Big Ten leadership are so against that they released a joint white paper in February detailing why such a move would not solve the financial issues facing the industry.

It's just another Ted Cruz publicity stunt. It's not worth discussing because it will go nowhere.

100% agreement. Tell the people who ran here ejaculating on themselves that this would fix everything.

I didn't need to see any nuance to know that the government is shite at doing anything.

Plus if you looked in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, the huge thick one, under “pandering” you’d see this bill.

The next useful thing Ted Cruz does will be the first in a long time.
