One of the problems with discussing active legislation is it can and does change, so I can't speak to the current state of it. I saw a few reports and from what I understood the bill at that point in time did not prevent the SEC/Big 10 from leaving. But, that can change, which would be...

There is an element of this that's also just the general stupidity of Cody Campbell and no wonder he and Sorsby ended up in the same orbit. So to recap, on Sorsby's end, his massive gambling habit was found out and rather than show true remorse he goes to court to try to stay eligible despite...

I was aware it was $500,000 just not sure why I typed a billion instead of million, haha. Fun fact to distract from that, did you know in German it's: Million for a million Milliarde for a billion Billion for a trillion

I'm usually not that big on replying twice in a row, but since the powers that be are trying to speed run the destruction of football I thought this topic might be as good a place as any to address it. So there's the Sorsby situation, with Cody Campbell in the background pulling the strings...

The NCAA also has a lengthy track record of semi-random eligibility decisions. The Bediako thing was a good example. They let paid G League players in the NCAA, they let European pros in the NCAA, but then they were like alright he signed with an NBA team (that he did not play for) so he can't...

My understanding is that they can just withdraw the case, which will make him ineligible again. Along those lines, there's actually an interesting wrinkle to the way this playing out. The idiot booster/regent/chairman/ceo of Texas Tech football went out there and said that Texas Tech was...

Well, they could have been in the early stages of evidence gathering. I would note that some of the more serious stuff involves what he did at Texas Tech (sent thousands out of state to place bets), which is relatively recent. I asked AI, which is obviously not reliable to go over the Texas...

The law should though, he's admitted to breaking several laws and as far as I'm aware addiction doesn't actually absolve you of crimes. So this could create a scenario where he is drafted, but he then doesn't end up playing for quite some time, if at all, if criminal charges go forward. I read...

One interesting thing to note in all of this is how conferences thus far have largely sat on the sidelines as member institutions were up to all sorts of shenanigans. I mean go back to Tennessee brazenly breaking the rules and being directly involved in NIL, the NCAA started to investigate and...

Utah's AG and Governor are stating their support for the Big 12 and their right to enforce rules. Another thing of note is that part of the case the Big 12 is making is that Texas Tech has in the past voted to sanction a member school, so they acknowledge the Big 12's right to do so. They still...

Well the Kansas AG has joined Oklahoma and it' s become clear the Big 12 will not simply back down to the intimidation attempt. The Big 12 has filed in court so we'll see how it goes...

As was noted elsewhere, one problem is the strategy that Auburn helped pioneer. You sue, and threaten to sue, and tie people up in court. This might seem like it shouldn't work, but it's remarkably effective both as a deterrent (expensive legal battles that could have penalties attached) and the...

I think there's a weird background to this that really is a high stakes gamble (no pun intended). We all know about the Texas Tech booster. He basically used political power to be appointed to the board of regents, and then made chairman. People need to get who this guy is, he's the definition...

I said that once they introduced NIL players would sue for eligibility. Even I, for all my whining about what NIL would do to the sport didn't see this one coming. The NCAA isn't blameless here though obviously. They caved on NIL, they have allowed the line between pro and amateur to be...

Notre Dame has a unique regional footprint that makes them more valuable than most other alleged football powers. For instance, they are the second most popular program in New Jersey. So, adding them makes you relevant in far more territory than just about any other addition. Furthermore, the...
