Athletes: "Ah, a pro model. So you want collective bargaining with representation by the athletes in decision making processes and rules creation?" Them: "NO NOT THAT PART!!!"

Congratulations, on an amazing career. We'll never forget, T.J. Sochi!

BREAKING: A group of women’s sports athletes will file an appeal of the House v. NCAA settlement approval, arguing that it violates the Title IX gender equity statute, Front Office Sports has learned. Story to come.

Super Sky Point to Brian Wilson, one of the most incredible musical geniuses to ever grace this planet and a gentle soul. Pet Sounds remains a masterpiece waiting to be discovered by future generations. Brian had a hard life but gave us so much. St. Peter, grab a surfboard. #RIP

Another fun fact about children who specialize early in a single sport: most do not go on to play as adults. In my view, the whole point of youth sports is to develop a love of the game and appreciation for regular exercise. Early sports specialization kills both.

That's the basic legal conundrum of college sports. It's a weird system. Other countries don't have anything like it—a quasi-pro sports league run by universities. As to complying with the law, colleges have to figure out how to comply with all laws or come up with a new system.

The chair of the committee in this latest NIL hearing just absolutely butchered Ramogi Huma's name. Ramogi Huma has been a leader in college athlete rights for at least 15 years. For all his work on this subject, the issue and participants deserve more from chair Gus Bilirakis.

Rep. Lori Trahan (D., Mass): “We have a system where the NCAA, conferences, and their member institutions set rules. Athletes can challenge them. And if the rules are unfair, courts can intervene, or a deal can be struck. The [SCORE Act] rewrites that process to guarantee the

#CBJ Zach Werenski lands on the NHL First All-Star Team, only the second player in franchise history (Sergei Bobrovsky) to achieve the post-season first-team honor.

I also sat in on these NACDA presentations. They brought up a few important points. -As Clemson’s AD notes, most 3rd party NIL deals will still be with boosters, etc. So the recruiting game has now just shifted to being able to move as much above the cap $ as possible.

The reason pro athletes' NIL deals are small is they earn most of their value via their salary. B/c college athletes aren't paid employees, their true value can only come from NIL deals. This does not make it a "false" market. It's just a market ADs wish didn't exist.

Sinking this putt to win the US Open is INCREDIBLE. What a moment for J.J. Spaun!

Exactly

This is an excellent piece. It makes me think about all of the politicians who have secured great seats at pro and college events over the years. So I ask you: How have those politicians helped make the games you love more affordable for you? You already know the answer.
