The NCAA can make rules but when people take the NCAA over their rules and the courts rule against the NCAA, the NCAA rules become irrelevant. We have NIL now not because the NCAA made a rule permitting it.
I'm going to mark down what Trump did as a good thing not because of the thing itself, but rather because he did something. Whether it will stand up in court is a separate issue. (I'm not sure how public universities running professional sports stands up in court, but that's a separate issue.)...
It's too bad it didn't work out for Hubert, but he did beat Dook in the Final Four in Coach K's final game ever and that is a feat that will go down in UNC history AFAIC.
Nick Lowe turns 77 today. He wrote a song that you're probably more familiar with from Elvis Costello's version. What's so Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding.
And here is Elvis Costello's version of it.
I said I'm so happy I could die /
She said "Drop dead" and left with another guy
--Elvis Costello "Red Shoes"
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than have to have a frontal lobotomy /
I might be drunk but at least I'm not insane
--Can't remember who did that song
I wish I hadn't...
