    I just don't see how the NCAA can find 5 justices to agree with them.

    Oh, I agree. Their actions are somehow opposite of both philosophies on the bench. Let that sink in.

    You could say, "un-American."

    Was just reading the NCAA wikipedia page. Reading their history and the summary of legal cases... they are not worth redeeming. Destroy them, build something fresh.

    The TN/VA response to the NCAA's filing is similar to what we have been posting here. Of course there is financial harm to the athletes and this has been demonstrated and ruled on before, specifically. And that is the entire point of the NCAA's objections.

    I would argue it’s damaging to have an athlete wait to get paid because it can all be over with an injury or chronic shoulder, back or knee. Whenever they are eligible for nil is when they should be able to negotiate and receive it.
    Committing, signing then working at Burger King while you prove your worth for nil $ being used as an example by the ncaa is pretty funny.

    But Missouri allows payment prior to enrollment?

    So as I get the response we sent back it’s basically, you people are idiots if you think what you are saying is reality.

    Fair?

    At some point all bureaucracies have to be burned down and rebuilt. They'll never die naturally.

    Maybe more of, "you know this isn't reality and have testified and submitted evidence of it yourselves in these past cases."

    That's fair.

    I read, "You're idiots and WGWTFA."

    I think he is trying to play nice with both sides still. I'm not happy about it.

    I'd much rather he say something directly supportive, ya.

    I don't think he's playing that nice with NCAA. He's doing what the job requires, but not anymore.

    He's been pretty scathing lately in his responses about the NCAA.

    I mean, he did start a working group to begin to solve the issues since the NCAA isn't capable. That says a whole lot to me.

    Anybody see the Arizona player's dad talk about Alabama tampering, recruiting him even though he never entered the portal?
