call me a Cruz missile or whatever, but I like this better than the current law of the land.

Dellenger said on his pod today that Texas Tech and PE super fan Cody Campbell (and wife) “donated” $500K to Mr. Cruz to help birth this abomination. Not sure what he gave to Cantwell.

Funny that Saban was never worried about protecting college sports from coaching salaries becoming an obscene waste of resources.

Agree. I greatly respect Saban's ability as a coach, but there seems to be some sour grapes on this with him as in he doesn't want to live in a world where a non-helmet school can come out of nowhere and rise to the upper echelon almost overnight. I have some problems with what college sports seem to be becoming, but a lot of the self-righteous griping grates on me.

NCAA can set eligibility and transfer rules and they shouldn't need to be pushed to make changes there. The money angle is what it is and if the players aren't involved in the decision of what that framework ends up being, it will end up in court where the chances of the process being reined in are murky but usually favor the players.

I think limiting NIL/salary caps, while a good idea, would be pushing the payments back under the table like they previously were.

That's where they belong.

If you're dirty enough to actually do that ... then go down and play in the dirt where you belong. Not a seat of "honor" as is the current envrionment.

Just like a regular student, there's no restriction on an athlete that transfers being able to take classes & pursue their degree.

Difference of opinion; I just don't understand why someone transferring a 2nd time having to sit out a year before participating in games is that unfair...

Kids hopping around to different schools -- let's be honest, to different teams -- each and every year makes a s--tty product. That's not what fans want. They want some continuity of players.

And then there's the argument that transferring is bad for your academics, and makes academics harder to prioritize. These are still kids in school there to get a degree.

Not happening.

Dellenger gave it a 30% chance of passing on the podcast. I assume that was just in the Senate.

But the House is the lower for a reason. Perhaps if it actually passes the Senate, then the House will fall in line.
