If the Big 10 and SEC came to an agreement, it would essentially lock it all up (from the "owners" side). Those universities could also build their own tournament (think like NFC/AFC). Players could still go Big 12 schools, ACC schools, etc., but that would be like joining the World Football...

I don't see what these things have to do with each other. No one is arguing that Sanders isn't happy about this undeserved gift being handed to him. We all assume he is probably elated (we all would be). The discussion here is just how undeserving he is or what a sham the Pro Bowl has turned...

I only used those folks because they are clearly not Pro Bowlers and even they deserved it more than Shadeur. They were all better than Sanders in every single category (completion percentage, TD:Int, YPA, etc.). Shadeur was legitimately bad this year. Hell, Dillon Gabriel's numbers were better...

He didn't explain the joke. He just said it was a joke. You should pretend to be a reader next time.

There has to be more to this story, I am a Shadeur defender, but they had to have asked a ton of other guys who declined. Shadeur was considerably worse than JJ McCarthy. Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Ward and even Joe Burrow has to have turned it down. Guys like Tua, Flacco, and Geno...

Agreed. There would have to be some incentive for the conferences to work together or else you could hop conferences. We see this in professional sports.

It's hard to imagine how it looks but maybe the conferences?

Agreed. Whether or not a NIL deal produces immediate ROI for these private entities is pointless. You are free to make deals - good or bad.

If it's mutually agreed upon (via CBA), I agree. I can't really envision how a CBA really looks though. Until then, the courts have routinely ruled that NCAA rules on eligibility are unreasonable restraints on trade.

I believe the court ruled that he cannot play/enroll anywhere else until Duke's request for an injunction. It's not specific to Miami and the judge did not rule on the merits, he just laid out the procedural next steps.

The difference is that NFL contracts are part of a CBA.

Specific performance is almost never appropriate for a personal services contract. It usually only makes sense for things like real estate transactions or purchases of art. Courts, generally, are asked to put a monetary value everything (think like wrongful death, bodily harm), so they tend to...

I'm not trying to bog this down thread down, but you could certainly make that argument. For judges, it's not only actual conflict of interest, it's also the impression of a conflict. That said, for some folks, it might be a bridge too far to consider every judge who donates to the a school as...

I'd love to take every opportunity to bash the NCAA, but I'm not sure what they can really do.

At this point, I have no idea.

So. . . Badgers or Gopher?

From a legal standpoint, I can't think of a difference between the G League, Europe, or the NBA. I just can't squint and see what would stop someone like Rob Dillingham or Leonard Miller from returning to college and playing.

But despite shouldering the weight of the world, you still have found the strength to comment on other people's reaction to said schmuck.

Don't show this to Paul Finebaum, he'll start making a case for Arkansas to be in the CFP. "Three or four kicks here and that's a national championship team. Could you say that about a team from the ACC?"

Indiana was a very good team and THEN they got Mendoza. They had a terrific offense last year with Kurtis Rourke. In fact, Rourke's success with Cignetti played a huge role in Mendoza considering Indiana. The 2024 team averaged 41.3 points per game and Rourke was one of the best QBs in the Big...
