Daniel's thinks that being a one year hired gun is worthy of a lifetime honor.

It looks like the attorneys will remain undefeated as this plays out.

This is getting ridiculous. Maybe all these children should have their toys taken away and go back to the old way of doing things.

There is no I in team, but in nil, it's all about the I and the $.

Atlas Shrugged?

Congress comes to the rescue with a 177-page bill that does not simply address the salient issue of antitrust protection for the folks making and trying to enforce the rules, as agreed by members of the NCAA.

Instead, the bill's divisive language pits conference against conference, and attempts to micromanage and restrict college athletics expansion and contraction.

Should Congress, not Boise State, decide if Boise has the authority to join the B12 conference? This and other minutiae in the Senate bill are far afield from providing the necessary relief.

If I'm in charge of a university, I have to ask if the game is worth the candle? Should LSU spend $200 million on sports or on academics? How many academic scholarships would $200 million pay for?

To my knowledge, the federal constitution and state constitutions and charter documents for public colleges and universities do not require these institutions of higher learning to provide after-school sports. Do not require a person to be given free room, board, and tuition based on an individual's athletic prowess.

How long would it take for Congress to deliver the required protection from vultures, er, lawyers and judges if the 68 folks in charge of academics at FBS schools said: ENOUGH!

"Year XXXX is it for the current sports paradigm—no more athletic scholarships. Club sports will be subsidized to help with uniforms, limited regional travel, and equipment expenses, but that's it. The coach of every sport will be the leader voted on by their teammates and will not be compensated. Money advanced under broadcast agreements will be returned.

Thank you, and have a really nice day."

Draconian? Of course. But without the needed relief, many nonrevenue sports will disappear along with the scholarships, full and partial, and Moneyball sports will be further divided into 'haves' and 'have-nots.'

There is another alternative, but it will require substance to overcome form; difficult to achieve in the halls of higher (hire?) learning.

College athletes receiving direct compensation are 'employees' who can collectively bargain with management and enter into agreements with restrictions on both sides, as we see in professional sports.

Meanwhile, Daniels doesn't have enough to do QBing an NFL team that he has time for this?

Can you imagine if every athlete claims their number can no longer be used at the university? Think about a new recruit coming in to Spring or Fall camp years from now. His jersey number will now be 5,300 (sarcasm)? 😳
