Congressional Republicans being such a brave and effective group?
I think she made a valid point that the legal battle is better fought with a multi-state front. And this battle is going to be fought in the courts, because DC is useless.
Lastly, and I haven't confirmed this, but I was recently told that the NCAA favors paying their players. Apparently this opens up a lot of endorsement channels and the NCAA will make a lot of money on that.
Players make their own money from endorsements. I don't think it would help the NCAA at all to pay them. There may be stadium subsidies you can go after as well or even general college budget.
I'll go ahead and lead with my conclusion that college sports is likely a dead man walking.
There's no way the NCAA doesn't get a piece of every single pie when it comes to money. That's not how cartels work.
The new avenues for corruption if you open the vaults for collegiate athletes will destroy any semblance left of the concept of a "scholar athlete". Once you do that, how is college sports anything other than a commercial enterprise and why in the world should it be part of academia?
This is a complex topic and about the only thing I know is that when money is involved, that'll matter much more than any archaic concepts of fair competition are going to be subsidiary.
For the record, I was an NCAA athlete and have a nephew who is currently one. The whole damn system is very broken, and throwing money at it isn't likely to be a fix.
Did you see this news blurb about how the NCAA is boycotting any state that puts any anti-trans laws in place?

Noem might have been partially correct on this issue.
Good. Fuck the NCAA.
The NCAA effectively is an organization that profits off of indentured servants.
The NCAA is that, among other things. Always has been predatory, and I was an NCAA athlete.
Oh no! We are meeting resistance! Better surrender!
Fight fire with fire. Coordinate with Congressional Republicans to draft a bill that makes the NCAA pay their players. See how they like that.
