More changes will likely be coming.
NCAA's Emmert: It is time to decentralize college sports
“You can lean back and do nothing and then just wait and see what happens,” Emmert said. “Or you can say, ‘Look, we’re in it. This is a new era.’ We need to take advantage of it, pivot as much as we can toward the areas that I was just talking about and and embrace that change rather than fighting it.”

Lets be clear, college athletes are now paid amateurs. The Universities are now handlers for the Athletes, boosters as well as sponsors have free reign. The NCAA has no power over college sports anymore.......

I would suspect a Franchise type agreement, where the NCAA will be allowed to keep their billions. Actually, CFB has outgrown the NCAA, the money, broadcasting rights, advertising, NIL, Video Games, many schools are losing out on millions in this area. The smaller markets might not fair too well. I was thinking that each Larg Market School (LMS) would adopt an (SMS) and designate them as developmental schools for the LMS, then they could be recruited by an LMS or sign a release to commit to another LMS. However, a success clause of 30% will be assessed if that recruit ends up being a superstar. That athlete would have the right to have a buyout by producing a % of the potential earning of his football career. Then there are the sponsorships by footwear, sporting goods, sandwich-making companies, etc. that can be placed in the agreement. There could be a "remedy" clause if a player who is caught with a McDonald's bag full of Big Macs😉🙄 , could face a financial penalty or suspension............see what I did here?

Man, did you just abbreviate a 4-letter acronym to a 2-letter acronym plus the ' in front?

You're going to risk sounding totally goofy and possibly being misunderstood, all to save one single keystroke? :)

My real name is Bartholomew, but my friends just call me Bartholeme for short.

Heh.

This has been more or less the case since January when the DOJ's Antitrust division sent their letter to the NCAA. Multiple conferences told the NCAA to not attempt to pass new rules. The NCAA (and member schools) will be on the hook for lots of money.

This has probably been discussed on here but I’m not going to take the time to search it out.

Pardon me while I put on my tin foil hat for a moment. What if UT knew the DOJ was going to neuter the NCAA. With this knowledge used it to make a decision to can CJP by invoking his NCAA clauses to be fired for cause. Then slow play the NCAA investigation and wait for the DOJ hammer to fall. Now that it has we don’t have to pay CJP nor do we have to pay for his violations.

Nah we aren’t that far sighted or we would have been making better hires and winning more games.

UT administration isn't that smart. Who else makes a complete mockery out of their own university and places themselves in purgatory for the sake of not paying a buyout to yet another coach that should'nt have been hired?

We had an agreement, likely a signed contract, with the NCAA BEFORE the court ruled. Those contracts are, I believe, in force.

The NCAA, like a big ol' beast that's been wounded and is dying, can still bite with lawyers and is more likely try to hurt us as it passes.

Besides, even if we escape the NCAA, what's left to claim as our victory? No scholarship dings for scholarship limits that no longer exist? No bowl ban for meaningless bowls? No visit dings for useless visit limits?

Anarchy is never pretty. And the abyss that college athletics will face in a post-NCAA world will probably be bleak. Follow the money...... I doubt universities will be where the money is found.

As far as a regulatory body for restricting compensation it is, even if the Congress got involved its hard to imagine how this will would work. Most likely the NCAA will have to split up from its current business model, whatever we call it... its not going to be the NCAA as the world knew it. The real purpose of the NCAA was to cap wage competition, than use this power to more effectively market and capitalize on the scam as a whole for the member schools. Without the ability to restrict compensation, there really is not much purpose for the NCAA to be much involved... or get a cut.

Tennessee needs to tell NCAA to kick rocks and move on. Plowman end this investigation and allow present staff to move on as they are being penalized presently by pruitt and his previous goons cheating ways. Those guys have been booted.
