Working as an ED of a non-profit, itās on the Secretary of Stateās website, too. In both our cases, Iām guessing fewer than 10 people a year view it. In my case this includes people job hunting trying to use it as salary negotiating starting point, then immediately hoping a prospective employer doesnāt see it, too

I just read that EA Sports is doing a college football game for 2024 for the first time since 2014 (the OāBannon case). Players will opt in to the game. Revenue distributions to players is TBD.

Can we get College Hoops 2K back? NBA 2K has messed around a little with putting some college branding in their game in very limited ways, but letās get the players paid and our college bball video games back.

So the OG

Yeah if the ncaa is the regulatory body. Which it isnāt.
Honestly this is the only way thereās a chance of competent regulation. Needs to have a solid mandate, some teeth, and be staffed well. Very possible.
All I care is enforcement, getting rid of obvious pay for play masked as NIL. The NCAA sure isnāt going to do it on its own. But I donāt know that a federal committee would be anything more than another layer of bureaucracy. Would they even have the authority to issue punishments? Iām guessing only make recommendations, which puts us right back where we are. Theyād just be farming out investigations.

Great point the feds would have to jump through some hoops to add bite to their bark

Yeah. but at minimum you will have smart people wrestling with how to give it teeth.
Thereās some carrots and sticks policymakers can use for higher education institutions, either through policy channels or grant making, just by way of creative example.
Still lots of caution warranted but more promise than NCAA.

Yes because when I think of competent rule making body I think of the United States Congress

I think any optimism expressed is probably more a condemnation of the NCAA than a commendation of the government. Basically US can incent, compel, and enforce in ways the NCAA canāt. Having more tools is, on the whole, an improvement.
The irony is that the US is stepping in now because of outcomes from the last time it stepped in on the matter. Probably the point you are making.

Love it. Do it your way Tony.
Also some confirmation from Traudt that his defense wasnāt good enough and he wouldāve likely left anyway for his girlfriend.

The quotes from recent transfers will probably grab attention, but one takeaway for me is that TB isnāt talking like someone who is souring on college coaching in the NIL and portal eras. Maybe this is just his default, but he sounds like heās thinking heās got something to prove about his way of doing things now.

I agree. Though I also read it (and several other comments in other articles) that if it doesnāt work and people keep leaving (especially important ones), that heās going to say āIm out of hereā. I dont think heās going to change his philosophy. Either it works in this era and he stays and coaches or it doesnāt and heās gone.
He definitely wants to see if it can work though.
