If I were the NCAA I would spend time on actual health of the student athletes and maintaining competitive balance among the titans of the sport. The smaller rosters were imposed by a court case and they seem to be creating the conditions for the latter. So, really nothing they did. College football and basketball are both very popular. They generate revenue for a lot of people. That runs from the ad exec who somehow sells Liberty Mutual the dross they put out as commercials to the bar that shows a mid-week basketball game between a couple mid-major schools to give the barflies something to look at as they drown their sorrows. College sports also make a lot of money for the gambling element. I wonder what more could be done to ensure these sports are not manipulated by self-interested people in these large organizations.

Funny how the Secdef having crusader tattoos is gonna play in the Islamic World after the declaration from the nominal President of the United States that we were sending troops into Gaza.

This is illegal and needs to be fought in the courts.

I guess he wasn't watching or he is a bad faith actor who is trolling this forum.

There are accelerationalists among them who seek the race war or the end times so Jesus can come and tell them how they did a good job living up to the secret gospel he revealed only to them.

I hope it ends without another World War, genocide or global pandemic. The odds are not good.

Lets hope Trump’s moves across the federal government set up a looming legal battle - POLITICO

The legal questions should occupy the courts of an honest Democracy for years. However, we are in broken territory. The gangsters are propagating an immense crime and no amount of traffic tickets will dissuade them from their crimes.

Unless they change this...no amount of Spongebob Squarepants content can make up for the cowardice.

OSU fans have a lot of spent capital on the Connor Stallions thing. Whatever. Just a few years ago, the SEC was paying its players in total contravention of the rules. When the B1G could do it legally, it suddenly tilted the college football landscape.

Jesus take the wheel.
