Oh boy the great and grand US government getting involved! What could possibly go wrong

Watch out over head

At least it’s something and I don’t think it could get any worse than it is now

I’m sure coaches will find a way around certain things but it’s a start to maybe a few guardrails. We’ll see

They actually passed something?? Something is amiss in the swamp??

The government rarely gets it right but it’s gotta be better than the Wild West we have now.

The one transfer rule will help

SIAP. Senate 77-22. Now it goes to the House.

I’m sure there is a way to list the names of those senators that hate college sports, especially women and Olympic sports, that voted against the Act. Anyone know how to do that?

Corey Booker has already come out against the bill, but he's an ex-football player so he's just a homer for the players.

The biggest parts of this bill is that conferences will be capped at 20 teams. That means the SEC has 4 more teams to pickup and the B10 only 2.

Regulators! Mount up!

There are many valid reasons to oppose the bill lol. It should have forced the ncaa to collectively bargain with college athletes and put controls in place to stop the growth in coach salaries.

Too little too late.

Speaker Johnson will not allow it to come to the House. He represents the fine state of Louisiana and went to LSU.

 

[DaddyChad]

I mean whatever if the NCAA is in charge of regulating anything it will be corrupt AF, those guys will get the money instead of the players. Bama and some others will be the only places that get players then.

 

[allvol123]

Gives the NCAA their power back. I mean who doesn’t love that organization.

Not past the house yet....

We'll see how it goes. I will just say that something needed to be done. The current situation is destroying opportunities for many.

He will let it come to the House. SEC > LSU.

Who specifically?

High school players - many folks on this board complaining saying ALL our QB's should come from the transfer portal which is what all the major schools are doing.

 

[volfan102455]

Then again if all the BEST players from high school go to the FCS so they can play - we may start to see upsets.

What HS QBs are not getting a scholly that would have before all this? Fail to see that any of them have been harmed. The total demand for QBs did not decrease.

 

[volfan102455]

And those that believe the government should stay out of it - they are already in it - what do you think the Supreme Court is? It is one branch of our government.

Charlie Baker loves it. Should tell you all you need to know.
