We’re all skeptical of government intervention to try to put some guard rails around college sports, but the reality is this may be the only possibility to impose some enforceable rules.

Brendan Sorsby eligibility lawsuit: NCAA cites 'destabilizing ramifications' in request to deny injunction
In Brendan Sorsby's eligibility lawsuit, the NCAA cited "destabilizing ramifications" in its request for a judge to deny an injunction.
This bill gives more power to the NCAA, an organization that has proven to be clueless.
Well, it’s not the NCAA per se, it’s the member institutions that can’t get their act together.
This is positive. Where are the SEC and B1G on this?Big 12 first power conference to have full CSC participation

UCONN is not hemorrhaging money.
They are making millions on Men's and Women's Bssketball.
However, these are very costly ventures and Football is also expensive. Coaches, full scholarship allotment, travel etc.
They are just cutting out anything deemed non essential so that they can focus and fully fund the most important and publicly visible sports.
UCONN alum just donated $15+ million for sports programs. They are building sports facilities at a fast rate on campus: Beautiful new baseball, softball, soccer, field hockey and ice hockey facilities. Golf is next.
Spending $100 on Gampel Pavillion improvements.
The Downtown Hartford arena (People's Bank Arena) just had $40 million in improvements.
They are building and funding for future Power 4 invite. These investments are not to stay in Big East. They already have best facilities in Big East. Its investing in future. They WILL LEAVE BIG EAST. Might be in 5-8 years but it will happen. Current situation is not long term sustainable.
They're just making the tough decisions on stuff that is non essential to overall goals so they can continue history of on field success.
I think this is what most big time school are doing.
UCONN is far better of than Rutgets which generates huge revenue but is still tens of millions in the red and has no history of on field success or big time reputation anywhere even close to UCONN.

It all depends on UCONN football. Can a successful MAC coach make it happen at UCONN. The landing spot is the ACC if Clemson, Florida State and Miami will let them in.
They are losing millions on both without outside donations and student fees.
Did anyone expect a different reaction from these two? I don’t know the intricacies of the bill but B1G and SEC won’t support anything in which they are not calling the shots.
The irony of this whole situation is that the loudest voices in the room (coaches) about how this is not sustainable, complete chaos, unhealthy, etc. are the same people that are solely responsible for this.
They are the ones offering these crazy contracts luring kids into the portal every year.
